The life of legendary Australian outlaw Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly (1854-1880) was a national hero from 19th century Australia. Few people in Japan may know his name, but in his home country he fought against the authorities to the end, even though he committed crimes such as robbery, and was supported by the masses. He left behind many letters and was executed at the age of 25. After his death, he became a symbolic figure of anti-authority, and his homeland even has a Ned Kelly museum, which is popular with tourists.

At the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, a group of people wearing protective gear that looked like hollowed-out buckets used by Kelly's gang in their fights with the police attracted attention. . He is also known as Australia's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves or Jesse James, and remains popular to this day.

``True History of the Kelly Gang'' (2019) is a movie depicting his short life. The director is Justin Kurzel, the Australian director of `` Assassin's Creed '' (2016) and `` Macbeth '' (2015). Starring George MacKay, a young British actor who played the leading role of a soldier in `` 1917 '' (19).

This film adaptation may be the first time some people have heard of Ned Kelly, but his life has been made into movies many times since the days of silent films in the early 20th century. The first time a young lead actor was cast was in ``At the End of the Sun'' (1970), in which he played musician Mick Jagger, and in `` Kelly the Gang '' (2003, released on DVD in Japan), he was an Australian actor. , Heath Ledger played Ned. However, Mick's version is very hidden in Japan, and Heath's version has not been released in theaters, so some people may not know about these past movies.

While tracing the production background of previous Ned Kelly movies, I would like to think about the intention behind the production of the new version.
