Blackrock is a 1997 Australian film directed by Steven Vidler and written by Nick Enright. Internationally, it is best remembered as the first prominent role of actor Heath Ledger.
Blackrock had its origin in 1992 as A Property of the Clan, a theatre-in-education piece written by Australian playwright Nick Enright (1950–2003). It was inspired by the real-life rape and murder of schoolgirl Leigh Leigh in Stockton near Newcastle, Australia on 3 November 1989. Enright subsequently developed it into another play, Blackrock (1995), directed by David Berthold for Sydney Theatre Company.
Blackrock is set in a fictional Australian beachside working-class suburb called Blackrock (not to be confused with the Melbourne suburb of Black Rock), where surfing is popular among youths like Jared (Laurence Breuls). He has his first serious girlfriend, Rachel (Jessica Napier), who comes from a much wealthier part of the city. One day Ricko (Simon Lyndon), a local surfing legend, returns from an eleven-month odyssey and Jared gives him a 'welcome home' party at the local surf club. Unsupervised and with alcohol freely available. Jared climbs a big rock and sees Toby (Heath Ledger) having consensual sex with Tracey (Bojana Novakovic). He later witnesses three males raping Tracey, yet he does nothing. The rapists leave her crying - but alive, on the beach and Jared too flees the scene and heads home. Later that night Rachel, arriving at the party late and looking for Jared, finds Tracy beaten to death on the beach.
You don't know, what you do to me (What you do to me)
All I see, is new to me (New to me)
Just four dollar bars, and embelished strong
Said you had, done me wrong
But we'll see (We'll see)
Yeah, what you do to me (What you do to me)
(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )
They don't bother you, well they don't bother me
Engine too loud in this brand new Ferrari V
So we couldn't hear the haters anyway, pardon me
Girls say I'm one of the biggest hearbreakers arguably
Cupid shoot arrows but this girl make my heart bleed
I swear to God if I die she could make my heart beat
Beat, please resuscitate a G
Give me mouth-to-mouth or even give me south-to mouth
Damn 'cause you don't know what she do to me
She could kill my soul only thing left is a eulogy
She so hot and ain't another brother cool as me
To get her cold as me I think I gotta buy her jewelry
What she do to me
Darling no, ha, what you do to me (what you do to me)
All I see, yeah, is new to me (Is new to me)
These strange colors, and all the others, no they can't see
(Done me wrong, we'll see, we'll see)
Oh mama, what you do to me (what you do to me)
(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )
(Verse Two - Billy Danze)
I'm from the hell hole
The total opposite of Melrose
Is where the homies get the money through the steel doors
If you don't know me I suggest you ask your kinfolk
Tell them the man here
Billy Danze here
Black Keys here
MO-P's here
You say its poppin' if its rockin' listen we there
(You don't know)
Come on be clear
(Whatever you do to me)
You could never ruin me
I'm good, I flooded the hood like A.C.
I'm modest - so you ain't really gotta praise me
I'm the artist, that's ghetto-ly known as O.G.
With the (Magnum)
With forever kid (Swagger) You could never get
Darling no, ha, what you do to me (what you do to me)
All I see, yeah, is new to me (Is new to me)
These strange colors, and all the others, no they can't see
(Done me wrong, we'll see, we'll see)
Oh mama, what you do to me (what you do to me)
