Griff the Invisible
The multi button phones seen in the office scenes are Exicom BT-450 ISDN phones. Exicom went bankrupt many years ago and these phones popped up later on the Tennyson SOX PABX but were dark grey rather than white.,Melody: Mum?
Bronwyn: Hmm?
Melody: Do you think that this life, our existence... do you think it's an accident? Or do you think it's planned for a reason?
Bronwyn: Oh, um. Oh, I think...
Melody: ...and try and ignore religion.
Bronwyn: Ignore religion. Um. Well, I think it's like gymnastics. I think that life was inevitable. I mean however it was created, whatever happened, you know? Whoever did it. I mean you look at the stars and your see infinity. You look into a microscope and you see infinity. Smack bang in the middle, between those two extremities, perched on a balance-beam, is us. Life. In the middle. Inevitable.,Moody Griff

Courtesy of Todd Hardy,I just saw Griff the Invisible about two hours ago at the Toronto International Film Festival. There have been a number of average-guys-becoming-superhero movies this year and this is Australia's contribution. However, I'd have to say this is easily the best. The best part of the film is the quirky originality of the two main characters, Griff and Melody. They are weird, funny and believable. They don't fit any stock type of character I've seen before, but appear as two genuinely original creations. At the end of the movie, I felt like I wanted to see more of these characters.

Griff the Invisible is also different from all the other offerings because the others hit you over the head with the predictable moral that superheros are just a fantasy (like we don't know that) and that reality is better than fantasy. Without giving anything away, this film turns that moral on it's head. For once a movie doesn't make you feel guilty about your adolescent fantasies!

The movie was very well received by the Festival crowd with healthy applause and even some yells of appreciation at the end. I think the movie was mostly appreciated for the likability of the characters, the humour, the fresh writing style and just the general entertainment value.,
