Romper Stomper Music Credits Original Music by John Clifford White Orchestration by John Hawker Music Score Mixer Peter Palankay Music Engineer Mat Thomas Vocals John Clifford White Guitar John Hewett Bass Guitar Chris Pettifer Drums Phillip Beard German Vocals Peter Pales Music Recorded At Metropolis Audio "Au Fond Du Temple Saint" from 'Les Pêcheurs de Perles' by G. Bizet Performed by Ernest Blanc and Nicolaï Gedda with the Orchestre du Théâtre National de L'Opéra-Comique Courtesy of EMI Music Australia Pty Ltd Bizet: The Bizet release used in the film as background and foreground music dated to a 1961 LP release, subsequently released on CD: Lyrics in the film: (Timings refer to the Roadshow DVD release - and the lyrics are as they appear in the film, not as might be heard on the soundtrack release): 1. Gabe sings to herself: c. 9’47” While looking in the mall shop window and coveting the red jacket, Gabe sings: “When I’m alone And see that it’s raining…” 2. Punks on the move: c. 14’19” ‘The Smack Song’ begins over the skinheads on the move: When you see the yellow scumbuck coming up the road Will you turn the other cheek just like a gutless toad? Or will you stand your sacred ground Inform him of the facts Tell him he’s not welcome here Then give him several smacks Smack him if he’s yellow Smack him if he’s black Smack him ‘till he fucks off and doesn’t come back … Smack him in the bollocks Smack him in the head Smack him ‘till he really hurts Smack him until he’s dead … (Music fades out under dialogue, then stops when Davey brings Magoo in to see Hando) 3. Skinhead party: c. 17’05” ‘Pulling on the boots’ accompanies the skinhead party: Pulling on the boots, then tightening up the laces Shaving our heads, and strapping on the braces Now you are a skinhead, looking for a fight Skinhead, skinhead, running through the night Skinhead, skinhead, running through the night Making lots of trouble, starting lots of fights Skinhead, skinhead, getting really pissed Skinhead, skinhead, tattooed on my wrist! Lurking in the laneway, waiting for the scum Smash their yellow faces, kick their fucking bums When they plead for mercy, we will show none Skinhead, skinhead, 'til the job is done Skinhead, skinhead, putting in the boot Looking for a street fight, looking for a root Skinhead, skinhead, running through the place Skinhead, skinhead, stomping on your face! When the coppers see us, at first they pull the gun But when they see us come towards, then they start to run When we wear our badges it makes us feel proud Skinhead, skinhead, shout it out loud! Skinhead, skinhead, running through the night Making lots of trouble, starting lots of fights Skinhead, skinhead, getting really pissed Skinhead, skinhead, tattooed on my wrist! (The subtitles don’t assist with translating the German verse. This is taken from online sources and it can’t be guaranteed as the same transcript was inaccurate in relation to the English language verses: Wir ziehen uns die Stiefel an Und schnuren sie uns zu Rasieren die kuppel Und schlagen sie uns ein Skinhead, skinhead, Ziehen durch die stadt Das ist ein skinhead Und warte auf dein kampf) Skinhead, skinhead, running through the night Making lots of trouble, starting lots of fights Skinhead, skinhead, getting really pissed Skinhead, skinhead, tattooed on the wrist! Skinhead, skinhead, putting in the boot Looking for a street fight, looking for a root Skinhead, skinhead, running through the place Skinhead, skinhead, stompin' on your face! Skinhead, skinhead, skinhead, skinhead... Skinhead, skinhead, skinhead, skinhead … (even more repeats as the music fades out on Davey finishing with the punching bag, Bubs’ random sex and Davey copping a drink from above). 4. Skinheads on the move: c. 25’25” As the skinheads head to the pub for a rumble against the Vietnamese Australians (quietly playing pool), the Fuhrer, Fuhrer song begins: Fuhrer, Fuhrer, what have we done? Our land is being overrun By Jews and blacks and yellow scum Fuhrer, Fuhrer, what have we done? Fuhrer, Fuhrer, (under dialogue) Fuhrer, Fuhrer Fuhrer, Fuhrer, what do we do? Ever more we look to you Did your best to discourage the Jew Fuhrer, Fuhrer, what’ll we do? Fuhrer, Fuhrer, Fuhrer, Fuhrer (song returns to foreground over Vietnamese at pool table Our day will come We’ll crush the scum … (Music stops abruptly as pool cue hits ball) 5. Fourth Reich Fighting Men: c. 32’40” As the rumble spreads into the street, and then the skinheads attempt to flee the Vietnamese Australians by clambering into the warehouse, an ironic song begins: Fourth Reich fighting men, that's what we are We're living in the sewer but we're gonna go far You see our numbers growing, we’re shouting “Hurrah” Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are We’re fighting the system, we’re fighting a war Ya think there’s not enough of us, there’s gonna be more We’re gunna change the country, we’re gunna change the law Fourth Reich fighting men winning the war Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are We're living in the sewer but we're gonna go far You see our numbers growing, we’re shouting “Hurrah” Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are We march so proud, carrying the flag Beating up the vermin, beating up the slag Beating up the fairies for dressing in drag Fourth Reich fighting men carrying the flag Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are We're living in the sewer but we're gonna go far You see our numbers growing, we’re shouting “Hurrah” Fourth Reich fighting men, that's what we are At last united, fighting as one The fighting isn’t finished ‘till the job is done The battle isn't over 'till the war is won Fourth Reich fighting men fighting as one Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are We're living in the sewer but we're gonna go far You see our numbers growing, we’re shouting “Hurrah” Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are Marching in the alleys, marching in the streets Terrorizing scum with the sound of marching feet When the marching’s over, it’ll be alright Everyone will live together in the Fourth Reich Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are We're living in the sewer but we're gonna go far You see our numbers growing, we’re shouting “Hurrah” Fourth Reich fighting men, that's who we are Fourth Reich fighting men, that's what we are We're living in the sewer but we're gonna go far You see our numbers growing, we’re shouting “Hurrah” Fourth Reich fighting men, that's what we are (The song ends with constant shouting of Fourth Reich fighting men, Fourth Reich fighting men... etc until it disappears beneath the chaotic sounds of violence and shouting) The Fourth Reich Fighting Men song returns briefly c. 67 minutes into the DVD when the cops raid the warehouse and shoot little Bubs. The title line of the song can also be heard at the climax as Hando tries to drown/strangle Gabe in the surf, as part of the surreal mix of effects and sound. 6. Gabe sings again: c. 57’50” After smashing the toilet with a Buddha statue, Gabe and Davey head into the bedroom and she tells him to check this out, as she picks out a few chords on the piano: Timmy and Ted went to bed Dressed in red dressing gowns Dialogue explains the reference: Davey: Who’s Timmy and Ted? Gabe: My cats ... (Below: Gabe at the piano) Soundtrack release: The soundtrack has been pirated and released in many forms. These details relate to the original release: CD PTR002 Picture This 1992 Composed by John Clifford White (Screensong), except “The Smack Song” lyrics by John Clifford White and Bill Murphy Orchestrations by John Hawker Produced by Doug Brady and John Clifford White All selections recorded and mixed at Metropolis Audio, except “Wild Animals 2”, at Track Rite Sound The Romper Stomper Orchestra and Band: Andrew Baldwin, Doug Brady, John Hawker, Tom Kehoe, Frank Lipson, Mat Thomas, Peter Palankay, Harry Vogelsanger Prologue Romper Stomper Theme Pulling on the Boots Skinheads Go Shopping/Gabe Sees Swastika Mein Kampf Fuehrer Fuehrer Let’s Break Some Fingers/Brawl Crawl The Smack Song (Lyrics by John Clifford White and Bill Murphy) Tonguey for the Skins/Nightmare for the Hippies At the Mansion We Came to Wreck Everything Wild Animals 1 Bubs Dead/Gabe Finds Davey Gabe and Davey Fourth Reich Fighting Men Night Drive On the Beach Wild Animals 2 Fourth Reich Fighting Men Reprise The Dead Nazi March Composer John Clifford White: (For a discussion of composing the score for the film, see this site’s ‘about the film’ section). John Clifford White had previously worked with director Geoffrey Wright on Lover Boy, before going on to craft perhaps one of the best scores for an Australian film with his brooding, pulsating work for Wright’s first full-length feature, Romper Stomper (incidentally bringing fame and controversy to Russell Crowe in his best early role, as a neo-Nazi skinhead thug). White was involved in a set of questions put by Cinema Papers in the May 1988 issue (the other composers were Peter Best, Bruce Rowland, Bruce Smeaton and Paul Schutze). This would have been about the time that White had worked on the score for Lover Boy, and though he doesn’t directly discuss the film, his answers provide some background to his work.

  • Autism and Aspergers in Popular Australian Cinema Post-2000 | Ellis | Disability Studies Quarterly
    Autism and Aspergers in Popular Australian Cinema Post-2000 | Ellis | Disability Studies Quarterly Autism & Aspergers In Popular Australian Cinema Post 2000 Reviewed By Katie Ellis, Murdoch University, E-Mail: [email protected] Australian Cinema is known for its tendency to feature bizarre and extraordinary characters that exist on the margins of mainstream society (O'Regan 1996, 261). While several theorists have noted the prevalence of disability within this national cinema (Ellis 2008; Duncan, Goggin & Newell 2005; Ferrier 2001), an investigation of characters that have autism is largely absent. Although characters may have displayed autistic tendencies or perpetuated misinformed media representations of this condition, it was unusual for Australian films to outright label a character as having autism until recent years. Somersault, The Black Balloon, and Mary & Max are three recent Australian films that explicitly introduce characters with autism or Asperger syndrome. Of the three, the last two depict autism with sensitivity, neither exploiting it for the purposes of the main character's development nor turning it into a spectacle of compensatory super ability. The Black Balloon, in particular, demonstrates the importance of the intentions of the filmmaker in including disability among notions of a diverse Australian community. Somersault. Red Carpet Productions. Directed By Cate Shortland 2004 Australia Using minor characters with disabilities to provide the audience with more insight into the main characters is a common narrative tool in Australian cinema (Ellis 2008, 57). Film is a visual medium that adopts visual methods of storytelling, and impairment has become a part of film language, as another variable of meaning within the shot.

  • The Spiral Dynamics of Cinema Studies Provisionally Drafted by Alex Burns ([email protected])
    1 The Spiral Dynamics of Cinema Studies Provisionally Drafted by Alex Burns ([email protected]). Version 0.1 (December 1998) Comment (8th November 2007) I wrote this as a course proposal outline whilst in the Cinema Studies undergraduate program at Australia’s La Trobe University in 1998. I had been studying the Spiral Dynamics® psychological model of levels of human existence for about 18 months, and had also been corresponding with Howard Bloom and Richard Metzger. This represented a first attempt to codify the SD model using film content as examples of the models and dynamics. The artefact is from my ‘early stage’ exploration of the SD model, written with good intent but a novice’s understanding. This document has several limitations. It relied on the SD colour scheme, and prioritised breadth and span over situated depth. The selected films and sequences reflected several personal theories about media analysis and the scientific debate on memetics and were heavily influenced by the pre-millennial sub-currents of the mid- to-late 1990s. I hadn’t taken the SD practitioner training I and II at the time. My knowledge of Cinema Studies frameworks and models also varied. Thus, today I wouldn’t necessarily endorse the films or their SD codification now as correct or representative of the Beck & Cowan model or Clare W. Graves’ original research. This is provided for historical interest and self-research purposes only. I subsequently developed a more precise methodology in 2003 whilst in the Strategic Foresight masters program at Swinburne University. I trialled it in workshops at SD practitioner training and the Australian festival This Is Not Art in 2003 and 2004.

  • “Taking It Back, Making It Strong!”: the Boundary Establishment And
    "Taking It Back, Making It Strong!": The Boundary Establishment And Maintenance Practices Of A Montréal Anti-Racist Skinhead Gang 9833181 Department of Sociology McGill University For the Completion of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Program Final Draft – September 25, 2002 Committee Members: Dr. Lucia Benaquisto Dr. Prue Rains Research Supervisor: Dr. Prue Rains 2 INTRODUCTION For nearly two decades, the skinhead subculture has been nearly universally associated with the most vile manifestations of racism and violence imaginable. As evidenced by popular culture1, racism is a fundamental component of the mainstream definition of skinhead. It may come as a surprise, then, to discover that not only did the skinhead subculture emerge from uniquely multicultural and multiracial origins and not only are the overwhelming majority of skinheads non-racists, but that a very significant proportion of participants in the skinhead subculture actively identify themselves as anti- racist. One such grouping of anti-racist skinheads was the Montréal chapter of Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP). Montréal's first SHARP chapter began in 1991 and folded approximately two years later. In 1996, Montréal racist skinheads began a protracted campaign of ambushes and armed assaults on non- and anti-racist skinheads, culminating in a series of "bar raids" in the summer of 1998 that sent over thirty people to emergency rooms. In response to this threat, SHARP Montréal reformed in late July 1998 (SHARP Montréal, 1999) and consisted of a fairly stable group of around two dozen young men and women. As members of an anti-racist skinhead gang2 SHARP members establish their identities as such in both mainstream and subcultural social settings, and, in doing so, 1 Any number of television programs (Law & Order), movies (American History X, Crimson River, Romper Stomper) and even video games (Sony Playstation 2’s Soldier Of Fortune and State Of Emergency) depict skinheads as being synonomous with racists.

  • VICE Studios and Screen Australia Present in Association with Film Victoria and Create NSW a Blue-Tongue Films and Pariah Production
    VICE Studios and Screen Australia present In association with Film Victoria and Create NSW A Blue-Tongue Films and Pariah Production Written and Directed by Mirrah Foulkes Starring Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman Produced by Michele Bennett, Nash Edgerton and Danny Gabai Run Time: 105 Minutes Press Contact Samuel Goldwyn Films [email protected] SYNOPSES Short Synopsis In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. Long Synopsis In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 16th century puppet show, writer director MIRRAH FOULKES turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a fierce, darkly comic and epic female-driven revenge story, starring MIA WASIKOWSKA and DAMON HERRIMAN. 2 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT JUDY AND PUNCH is a dark, absurd fable treading a line between fairy-tale, fantasy and gritty realism, all of which work together to establish a unique tone while upsetting viewer expectations. When Vice Studios’ Eddy Moretti and Danny Gabai approached me with the idea of making a live action, feminist revenge film about Punch and Judy, they encouraged me to let my imagination go wild and take the story wherever I felt it needed to go.

A classical fascist, a brutal and dominating figure, is autodidactic, having impressive and engaging oratory skills that effectively put forth their ideals to the working-class majority. Neo-fascists, or neo-Nazis, idolize Hitler and the society of Nazi Germany, being extremely radical and militant, they exist in small groups dispersed around the world. A post- modern fascist uses money and various forms of media to spread their ideologies to vulnerable members of society. Post-modern fascists project themselves as hard-working and tough, but they buy loyalty and pay others to do their bidding.
