@@baitedlol6972 yeah ya do. Coz we don't sound like that hack job done by your so called queen of movies. Fuck, even Sam Neill did a better job and he's from New Zealand and all his movies are hard to watch because he's so boring and monotone.
Meryl Streep is one of those actors who has turned her craft into a fine art. The accent, the mannerisms, the fraught reaction of panicking mother.. She deserved an Oscar.
Popular theory is that because the coroner talked shit about the cops because they suspected her when his opinion was that it was in fact a dingo and so they made a case out of it.
Yeah and I always wonder if they ever did a test on a dingo I mean I know it might be difficult and might not prove much but I know in these cases anything could help like if they got a piece of meat or some kind of food and had a look if the dingo could carry it away I know it sounds silly but.....
First, the baby might have been asleep l, since she was when she put her in the tent. Second, they heard her scream briefly. The dingo might have killed the baby right there biting the neck break the neck, since infants are fragile this would of been easy for the dingo and then took her body, or the baby went unconscious by shock, etc
The baby shrieks at 3:22, and the woman in the other family says, what was that? The dingo probably grabbed her by the neck and killed her almost instantly. Other than the shriek, she was likely dead already.
Poor family..people didnt believe it but come on when an aninal is hungry theyll try anything.These things werent scared of people.They' ve only gotten bolder.
The problem was that there was a popular (and very false) belief that dingos didn’t attack people. Apparently aboriginal tribes told the authorities that dingos absolutely _did_ attack people and eat children, and even told them which dingo lairs to check. The authorities refused to listen and staunchly believed in Lindy’s guilt…until Azaria’s jacket was found by chance in one of the lairs they had been told to check.
Assuming this scene is a fairly accurate representation, and not knowing details of the court case, I wonder how they got a conviction with so many witnesses around the camp site?

Did any one thought of the baby girl could have been taken away and killed by another human other than Lindy ? it was so dark, Lindy could have mistaken it was the dingo that took her baby girl but in fact the baby girl was already taken away by "an human" right after the baby scream...the dingo could have been wandering there at the exact moment during the kidnap event. ...plus...Lindy said the Dingo was running in the opposite direction to the Ayers Rock which the jumpsuit was found, furthermore... hard to believe the dingo could drag a 4 kg baby girl for 5 km away from the tent with a 180 degree swing around.
~It was the more naïve 80’s without endless 24/7 nature shows showing wild predators tearing into hapless prey, or 24/7 cable news beaming endless horrible stories into people’s living rooms ~it was in an established campsite in an Australian national park with lots of people around …hardly a lonely campfire in the African Savannah swarming with large predators, ~and Dingos were incorrectly assumed to be incapable of such an attack …more or less viewed the same way North Americans tend to view Coyotes, pests and generally harmless (also incorrect). Hindsight is perfect, but, given the times and the lack of any similar known precedent, it was an understandable mistake to make.
@@g.lowenklee2268 Yes, dingos were considered very harmless pests at this time because there wasn't a lot of media coverage about any attacks. The most people thought they could do was steal a piece of food while you were looking, they hardly thought they could attack anyone, much less a baby.
I think you are saying this because now you know about it. Till this case, dingo attacks on humans wasn’t something heard of. So shove your judgemental remark up your sorry ass!!
@Diane Berg I know but a shot up in the air could have startled the dingo and it could have let the baby go plus gun laws were different back then I'm not saying everyone owned a gun but the laws were not as strict on gun safety but at the exact moment this went down it would have all been panic and shock
This was a time before Aussies and Kiwis were big massive Hollywood actors they wanted to have at least one American star to sell tickets for them but I do see what you mean

Watch the trials of Gabriel Fernandez..The cops chief made a fool of himself defending the cops too..
Meryl does the accent SO WELL
I can see why the Queen of movies is the Queen of movies. That accent....

Meryll Streep and Kate Winslet both can do the Aussie accent well
Are you from Australia? I'm from the states so my opinion is way off. I was wondering what Australian people thought of their accents.
@@adamburdt8794 it's part kiwi because the real person was born in New Zealand and had a mixed accent IRL

I finally understood what Elaine said!!!
that was my first thought too! ahaha
Wow Meryl is amazing.
Miranda Otto was way better
You can skip up to 3:48 if you actually want to see the "dingo ate my baby" part.
No, thanks!
With the recent dingo attack, she gets more credible and credible each year.

Merryl Streep is a treasure
Meaning she should be locked away in a tomb deep underground
Can't even imagine ...what a horrible misfortune.
One of the worst things that can ever happen to a parent!
This is the saddest thing ever
The lack of music makes it haunting.
This is just a sad sad incident no matter what happened the poor girl lost her life! I hope they have some kind of memorial set up for her there
Craig Ferguson's line when he does the australian accent :D
Hahahahaha that line delivery is pure gold.
You're the man now Dog No it’s not. This is a true story. This horrific thing really happened.
I’m surprised the baby didn’t cry.

Combination of police incompetence and media circus.

Why would you leave a baby alone in a tent especially knowing there's a wild animal hanging around???
No one thought dingos would carry out violent attacks like that. They incorrectly thought they were harmless
dinogs werent taken serious, even the people who lived there were suprised how violent Dingos became
Especially knowing this is Australia the most dangerous country and continent on the Earth!!
Estória mais mal contada.

The dingo is exploring the tent because the dingo is curious
And hungry!
Why leave your child alone In a tent knowing animals that are wild roam around???
Because back then most people thought dingos were harmless towards humans.
baby in an open tent... in the outback... guilty of at least negligence/ child endangerment
It didn't stop them from taking Meryl Streeps baby.
I see why people doubted her she was kind of unlikeable. Wow, Sam had thighs for days. He looked okay as a blonde too!

A more appropriate title would've been: "Negligence"
What kind of mother leaves her baby in an open tent in a place filled with wild animals. Idiotic.

Lindy Chamberlain is kiwi.
The dingo also took Olivia Newton John
This was a time before Aussies and Kiwis were big massive Hollywood actors they wanted to have at least one American star to sell tickets for them but I do see what you mean
sure they are good at acting but it is never okay to make a movie about a childs death
It's cruel to those who suffers because of loss of their children but on the other hand it's also educational so it never happens again.
With all the "entertainment" centered on violence, I see no real difference here...
All part of god's beautiful baby-eating plan.
*maybe the dingo ate your baby*
Lindy is a terrible mother for leaving her baby in the tent unsupervised
You're an idiot. She had no reason to suspect it would be unsafe.
