No matter how hard they blew the whistle the pelican either did not hear the whistle or was to interested in the other pelicans that the three trained would not respond. This fear actually happens near the end of the film.
#MOVIE STORM BOY MOVIE#
The School teacher, Miss Walker who is not mention in the book points out to Tom that it is wrong in trying to hide Storm Boy and says that every child has a right to education not only outside the classroom where Storm Boy has gained independence and responsibilities and through bad things that have happened he learnt a deeper understanding of people and their feelings but also his reading and writing abilities.Īnother new person in the movie is the ranger.Īlthough the pelicans were trained by blowing a whistle, the team was always worried that the pelicans would fly off with a flock of pelican that would fly pass. Being an outcast from his own people he also begins to feel closer to Fingerbone as he has something in common, both out casts. As he watches Storm Boy grieve over the loss of his pelican he begins to show his love and understanding of Storm Boy. Percival he slowly changes and realises that living isolated has deprived Storm Boy. The film allows Hideaway Tom to go through more changes. Hideaway Tom in the movie is more moody, angry and distant from Storm Boy then in the book. Fingerbone in the book is friend to Storm Boy and Tom and is only mentioned when needed but in the film he takes on larger portion where be becomes closer to Storm Boy teaches him the aboriginal stories of nature, the pelicans, the ducks, the storm, the land and offer him love and warmth which his father can’t give him. It was an exciting part of the film that had the audience on the edge of their seats. The camera work in this scene made us feel that the attack was actually happening to us. Percival until he is told he has died and is shown the grave but at the same time he sees new pelicans hatching and know that life will go on.Īn addition to the movie happened after a real life experience with Matt Carroll (producer) while he was camping a wild group driving dune buggies came roaring over the sand hills so this became a new part of the film where one night while storm boy is alone in his humpy the dune buggy riders come and wreck the house. This also allowed more filming as storm boy goes looking for Mr. “You put a nine metre by six metre pelican up on the screen with shot gun blasts in its chest, and it would have been quite horrifying” (Colin Thiele author of book) Research shows that this was too upsetting for young children so Mr. One change that was made from the book was when Mr.
Sonia Borg became the script writer and to achieve a longer film she introduce new incidents and new characters, and to give more details about some questions which were only mentioned briefly in the book. To make the book into a full-length feature film the scriptwriter had to make the film longer. Because the book tells the reader a lot of descriptions of the scenery, the film could show the audience in one shot what was written on pages so quite quickly a large section of the book was shown. Once he got permission he had to find the right scriptwriter who could capture the true spirit of the book. Matt Carroll, the producer had to get permission from the author of the book, Colin Thiele who wrote the book in 1963.
The first day of shooting the film was on 24th May 1976 but before this many decisions had to be made. Not just Australian audiences but also overseas, where people have learnt a little of what Australian scenery looks like. Storm Boy is an Australian movie that has been loved and has given great pleasure and joy to a wide range of audiences for many, many years.
