Why is this film called Praise?
This film is heaps better than the book - great acting, directing, photography and music (The Dirty 3 rule!). But why the name?
shareI am not sure why this film is called Praise, but I absolutely agree, it is a fantastic film, with excellent actors and a fantastic script, it is a real pity that Peter Fenton's acting career didn't take off, I hope his music career is going well!
sharewho even knows why the book was called praise. what a waste of paper.

No, but Gordon is, what a disgusting and pointless character with nothing to offer anyone, as he says himself. I realise that's the point, it's grunge fiction afterall, but that doesn't mean I have to like reading about some unemmployed bums crappy life whose greatest highlights are getting off and getting high. sometimes at the same time. Reading about someone screwing their girlfriend in a sh*t-stained toilet while actually sh*tting is not something I consider interesting or worthwhile.
But whatever.

Well, why read it then? I mean, did you have no idea what the book was about?
Whatever.

It was a set text for an english course I was doing at uni about youth narratives. We had to read 5 novels as well as watch films etc. I'd never heard of Praise before, had no idea what it was going to be like because I hadn't looked ahead in the course guide and I had to finish it to discuss it for tutorials. It's not a book I would have normally chosen, and even if I knew what it was going to be about I still would have had to read it anyway.

Fair enough. I loved the movie though. Fine Aussie talent, regardless of the subject matter.

I really found this movie disgusting and a huge waste of my time. I love a wide variety of movies and am pretty open-minded but I found this movie just awful. Gross! I just don't understand how it got so many stars on this site. Just my opinion, though.
