Other than it's not baiting. I DO think this film is a piece of crap. I don't attend film school. Get your head out of your arse for five minutes and think for yourself.
I'm glad you consider yourself hooked, line and sinker, because you bloody well are by this pile of steaming dog's turd which every pretentious arse hole in this country finds 'meaningful' despite the fact that it has no theme and wanders all over the place for no reason with no real meaning at all. Goeff Rush is ashamed of it. So should the rest of us be.

Max, you have issues. The film is both enjoyable and intelligent. Get over yourself. And if you hate it with such passion, why do you insist on visiting its message board so much?
By the way, Geoffrey Rush is a tool. This is common knowledge in Australia. -

I visit it because my e-mail tells me when phuckwits have replied to my post - invariably singing the praises of this pile of crap. That's how message boards work.
Geoffrey is a tool, whereas Peter Phelps is what?????

You can tell by Max-78's other posts on other films' boards that he is a flamer; the very nature of his first post on this board is an attempt to incite a reaction. Don't let him pull you into that game.
He enjoys the attenion, so do exactly what he doesn't want you to do "ignore user" this pretentious film connoisseur.
I wondered myself the origins of this film's title; it really sheds some light on the film knowing the behaviours of this plant. -

Because the film was held up as some art-house masterpiece in Australia and in fact it played out like any b-grade TV cop show.
It also played in every multi-plex as well as every art-house cinema.
I wasn't talking about box-office, I was talking about style and sensibility. -

Sorry, it was hard to calculate though my tears of laughter!
And in fact, if you look at what you were responding to, you might find I was right the first time.

Lantana is a shrub with small bright flowers on top and a prickly, dense undergrowth. The characters all seem fine on the outside, yet their deceptive and frequently intertwined relationships are well hidden underneath the surface, similar to the shrub.

Has anyone verified why the title with the author or whoever chose it? If not, everything here is speculative. Not to rock the boat too awfully much, but this about as base as it might beand I hope less than relevant to everyone's lives, though the bickering is often comical here.
Want to see a real laugh riot? Take a look at the craziness on the boards for Mel Gibson's "The Passion," not even to be released until next Ash Wednesday2004 that is for those who don't know.
By the way, the flowers can smell good or bad depending on variety and one's tastes and in the US they are typically grown in the south year 'round and annually in the north. Interesting that they are a weed down under.
