A journey into the lives of young Middle Eastern men from Sydney's outer west with dreams and desires to better themselves and fit in
Leave your thoughts about Cedar Boys.
| User ReviewIan HI cannot speak highly enough about this film. A tough in-your-face look at wanting to be accepted by a culture that excludes you or expects you to fit a gross stereotype; and where those in that culture only want you so long as you can give them what they want. Perhaps, given the themes, some may find it too much: but it does raise some very uneasy questions on Australian, Sydney in particular, life and culture -- particularly for those first- or second-generation Australians. It is great to see a portrayal of ârealâ Australians: and simply great to see young talent, actors and crew [this was Seerhat Caradee's [writer/director/co-producer] debut feature film], involved in such a unique and original film too. May their careers flourish, for I think these are exceptionally talented people: and may movies exploring the lives of young people, particularly those from other cultures, continue to be told: for we are a nation of migrants â and all stories of all people should be told. I hope it makes it overseas for this is a truly fantastic Australian film and one that shows an Australia rarely seen on screen: and one that should be because it is engaging, challenging and confronting. Anyway to the movie: Cedar Boys is a hard-hitting look at what happens when you, typecast as trouble because youâre young, male and Lebanese, step outside of your neighbourhood and familiar surroundings. The three protagonists, Tarek [a panel-beater with dreams], Nabil [a cleaner who seems relaxed and honest] and drug-dealing Sam, were so wondrously portrayed by 3 superb young actors [Les Chantery, Buddy Dannoun, Waddah Sari] that, after some amazing in-depth explorations of their world, I was drawn into their lives. The story, and its moral of leaving your familiar surrounds and how others see [and use] you, ramps up when Tarek meets an Anglo Eastern Suburbs [rich area of Sydney] girl which then leads him, and Nabil, into a world of drugs and crime with the aim of getting money quickly. The characters, the 3 main ones in particular, are all exceptionally well-rounded individuals: these are âreal peopleâ â not stereotypes or over-the-top caricatures. And add in superb and clever writing [while you can see glimpses of a major altercation and crash from their high life coming, I was surprised at the twists and turns on the way there], great direction and cinematography, and an in-your-face soundtrack [not entirely my sort of music: but this was not a film about me], and you have 100 or so minutes where I was glued to my chair: utterly and absorbed in the action unfolding before my eyes. A simply superb film: congratulations, and thanks, to all involved. |
| User ReviewJames KAwesome...I really felt like I am actually there .... |
| User ReviewLauren SThe best australian movie of 2009 much better than the ugly combination |
| User ReviewRichard HA great aussie flick a must see for all fans of drug related aussie films like Two hands and Something else i cant remember!!! |
| User ReviewAdam RI am very glad I hunted this down after being let down by The Combination. Cedar Boys draws you in and takes you where it wants to. The quality Australian film of the year alongside The Last Ride. |
| User ReviewRaelene LGood to see an Australian film made quite 'realistically' (given the way it ended) about Australian social classes and crime. |
| User ReviewRonald Sthe first half of the film is really quite awful. seriously, The Combination sets up the world better than this does. Thankfully it becomes more down to earth and quite realistic and subtle in the second half of the film and it improves greatly. But disappointing overall. |
| User ReviewRichard DClever Title. Don't get on well with Australian movies as a whole and this was no exception. Good straightforward story though. |
| User ReviewAdrian EDoes get better as it goes on, and builds to a powerful ending but acting lets down the good camerawork and direction. |
| User ReviewDebra SA movie which depicts life well in the western suburbs of Sydney for people of ethnicity and the struggles they face in a todays society and how easily one can get caught up in underworld. |
