"Spotswood" is about workers in a moccasin factory which is threatened by globalisation, as the economic paradigms which shape our world force the factory into debt. Anyways, u trace the development of the character Wallace, who is a financial advisor that ruthlessly seeks profit. After sharing the acceptance and simplicity of the local world with the workers, Wallace learns that the global world is inherently damaging, factory saved, prince gets the chick, blah etc...

It stars a young russel crowe, ben mehndelson and anthony hopkins....impressive for an Aussie film. Its good to use with the castle as it is basically about battler vs. wealthy. Its an easy text to write about, i used it for my hsc this year.

Call me.... if u need any more help/ideas

I used Seamus Heaney's 1995 Nobel Prize lecture --- I'm sure you can find it on the internet somewhere...
