    I am an Australian ex-military serviceman. When the Water Diviner came out, Russell copped a LOT of Flack in Australia for it. But it was a brilliant take on a war Australia and New Zealand fall just short of celebrating. In one interview Russell absolutely nailed it. He said people forget that during the battle of Gallipoli, WE were the invaders. And he was dead right.

    The greatest performance for me that Russell did was the Insider. It's an astonishing thing to see him as the middle aged, very typical businessman, Jeffrey Wiegand who actually helped change the world and was one of the bravest people you could possible imagine. He was not overshadowed by Al Pacino in that movie, he was actually the best performer in it.

    Such a great, underrated Michael Mann film. Eric Roth wrote the script which is excellent. Real formative movie for me growing up. Russell’s mannerisms and cadence in The Insider were unique. Pacino was fantastic in this. Christopher Plummer as Mike Wallace too.

    Agreed. I found it compelling enough that I often used the Lowell Bergmann speech as an audition. I finally recorded my own version of it somewhere in late 2019. To this day, it's unbelievable as to the lengths Brown & Williams went to do harm to millions of human beings. 😕 So weird to think that there are (and have been) hundreds of psychos like them walking the planet every day for thousands of years. 🤮

    Crowe's most impressive role--from my perspective--was portraying Jeffrey Wigand. Yes, obviously, he's been bloody fantastic in just about every film he's been in, but "The Insider" just did not get enough attention. Not simply because of the subject material, but because of the lengths to which Crowe went in order to accurately "become" Wigand. Unbelievable work.

    Strange I found this today after dinner at an RSL club last night. At 7pm every night at the club, regardless of what you're doing, you stand up, face west, and they play the oath. To me that daily repetition is bizarre but I absolutely agree with honoring them on an annual basis. Russel is 100% right about there being other ways. from the 800s to the 1600s, leaders would fight along side their men on the battlefield. Not commanders and typical military ranks, Kings. The people the very men were fighting for. You wont see that these days, so why should the rest of us be out there blowing ourselves to pieces because they cant shake hands. War is quite simply a crime against humanity. All war should cease immediately and all world leaders should negotiate on behalf of each other. Or simply all borders should remain as they are. That's it. Just Fucking stop. Imagine if all that trillions and trillions of dollars spent globally on military and defense went into bettering our lives instead. Stop fighting and start freeing.
