Red Dog

Always thought you were a bit of a sook.

Hi Sue. If you have lived through the Red Dog years you will definately find it pretty true to life. Some scenes are a bit exagerated but overall it is a great movie. A lot of it is very authentic including the old dirt road into Dampier. Thank god we haven't got "smellavision" Do yourself a favour and go and see it. Cheers,Bob.

Wasnt that the whole point of it Toyo? Showing that the legend has expanded to larger than life? Hence the scenes of people in the pub telling ever more expansive tales of his exploits.

Loved the movie and so did my kids, but did anyone believe he REALLY hitched a ride on a bulky to Japan and back?

Me too Stephen,
The producers, when interviewed said that they ended the film very carefully.
I don't know how they portrayed the ending for the same reason as you.
I read the book which I bought there when visiting many yrs. ago.
For some reason I thought that his master used to travel on the bus until the bloke got killed, then the dog took his place.
The dog used to wait at the bus stop for his master every day then the bus driver felt sorry for him when he still kept waiting for his master at the bus stop after he was killed. . I don't think the film starts like that does it?
I read the book a very long time ago & with a large box of tissues.
Take care, safe travels.Ma.
P.S I have a bit more info on Anandale for you. Will catch you later just home from our hols camping,& have a complete dust bowl to clean & pack away.
