Dishes up!

Another good film from one of my favourite actors, Mr Sam Neil.  It has to be the true telling of the Parkes satelite dish that actually lost the Apollo 11 mission while on its way to the Moon.  "The Dish" is a fantastic account of the five men who risked their careers, their dignity and even at one point their lives.  Why is this film good?  Its narratively sound, it has charm and wit, it has well casted actors and a very positive theme that is " taking risks is better than living with regrets".  Plus its really funny!  As well as all these technical aspects the film holds a strong feeling which i guarantee will get anyone high on life by the time Sam Neil's character takes one last look at the dish and smiles, knowing that he once almost ruined the worlds biggest achievement in mankind's history.
