I went and watched Australia today starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Brandon Walters.
A romantic action-adventure set in northern Australia prior to World War II, AUSTRALIA centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Jackman) to
drive 2000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.
This movie also addresses the treatment of Aboriginal children that were taken away from their families and forced to work as domestic servants and to live on the white peoples' government-controlled missions and reserves.
This movie was long, 166 minutes. But it kept my attention the whole time. I liked this movie. I give it 4 and half tiger paws.
