Oct 11, 2008 - This story is a parable on "loss of innocence" and how some Australians tried to shake off the rigids of English culture.When the girl says "we are not what we seem" and "I may not be around much longer" it means that she's developing, and that the strict English culture of their boarding school is at odds with the land of Australia.

Oct 11, 2008 - Miranda, "knew it all first" but what she knew was... the essence of the film. Unknown beauty, or, surrender to primal beautification. {But more a bewitching beauty.} Every frame is a masterpiece.

TsarObezyanka Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - I never thought of it that way. Your right.

Oct 11, 2008 - This story and film are one of the best allegories since the Old Testament.

Oct 11, 2008 - I remember seeing visions & dreams (1979-80)several years before I first saw the film "Picnic at hanging Rock[2004) seemed more like a spiritual world as saw people walking through this cave and I was listening to this flute sound similar to the movie theme and also in 1979 I saw vision of an old woman the that Looked like the character of the teacher (Mrs McCraw) and she was standing in this dark room and their was a cooked chicken on a table with a rotten & hideous image swarmed with flies.

Oct 11, 2008 - My favourite film of all time. It's about 'mystery' more so than it is a mystery and our need to know the answers to all of natures mysteries. It's also about humanity's need to crush nature and bend it to our will. The clocks, watches and references of time through out the film are an example of this as are the girls themselves whose sense of self and sexuality is repressed by the morals of Victorian society; and of course the British colonisation of the wild and 'natural' Australian outback.

Oct 11, 2008 - This movie is an amazing masterpiece. One of the most atmospheric and haunting movies I have ever seen. So stylish and full of symbolism - a true piece of art.

Oct 11, 2008 - Is this a vhs or dvd version? I have the vhs,and this version seems to include a scene that was deleted from the begining of the vhs version.The part where Miranda hands Madmoiselle a rose for Valentines day.

Oct 11, 2008 - I think Mrs. Appleyard was a reluctant participant in an international operation involved in the trafficking of teenage girls.Note her nervously musing over a flock of geese out the window.The girls were prey.

Oct 11, 2008 - hey,i watched this movie only once and its one of my favourites. just,im not pretty sure what people guees there could happen? i know this was a true story but i want to know what happened there! sorry if my english is bad,but if somebody knows,please reply.thanks :)

jazzax62 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - I don't mean to disappoint, but we should be realistic...the story is fiction...great fiction and very believable in the way it has been written. However, the location IS a real place and it is possible to become disorientated while walking up its tracks. Lots of people love going there to visit. Perhaps someone getting lost in its labyrinths in the past was one of the inspirations to the story. It's one of my favourites too.

667nextdoorToDevil Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - thanks a lot. i was confused.

Oct 11, 2008 - I live not far from Hanging Rock, this is not a true story, it is fiction but many people think it is true.

Oct 11, 2008 - He was so hunky then, but he didn't age well; if you don't believe me, check out the WOLF CREEK movie, where he plays a psychopathic serial killer. It's cool how they tried to camoflauge his arm tattoos in this movie. I guess they weren't really period appropriate.
