You seemed to have picked up the gist of what I was aiming for here. Yeah it is reincarnation. If Ned and his mates had've been born 30 years or so later, they would've certainly gone off to fight in the Great War.
Ned's exploits were all true and his Last Stand in 1880 is probably the first 'media' event in our short history. He is one of the truly great Australians despite his criminality.
One day I will look at re-writing this though I am loathe to touch my personal favorite of my work. Will finish reading your script soon!
Ok, just read the posts. So Kelly is a famous bandit and his gang reincarnates. As I figured. I'm still a little stuck on the reincarnation aspect. People don't end up in the same bodies. I suppose the way around that might be that it's all from Ned's perspective, so he recognizes them. Yes! That works.
I am surprised that some people hate VO so much that they don't accept any VO here. Hard to picture this being done without VO, with the hanging and the transition to a new life.
Ok, nice work, I hope to see more like these. BTW, even those who don't know their history and have never heard of Gallipoli, it shouldn't ruin this story. They can just think of any war. Not quite the same, because of the relevance to Australian history, but still have the idea of the gang staying together.
