Hello all,
Last night I re-watched a film that is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite movies.
It is "The Dish", starring Sam Neill and Patrick Warburton. The film concerns the role of the Parkes, Australia radiotelescope in supporting the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing.
For me, this is a funny, touching film that captures the spirit of the era like nothing else. As I watched, the sense of awe and wonder came flooding back to me.
Yes, I cried. I also laughed. Most of all, I exulted.
This is not a "techie" movie, so if you watch it for that reason you will be disappointed.
It IS a story about people, about national will, individual courage, and global pride.
Please do yourself a favor and watch this film.
You'll be glad of it, you drongo !
