As an epic blockbuster, the duration of the film is 160 minutes, and most viewers still find it tedious when watching the film. The reason is that the plot of the film is unreasonable and the ideas that the director hopes to expound are too complicated. The main themes that the film hopes to convey are as many as seven items: love, war, race, survival, nature, civilization, and barbarity, but the director has not been clear about which one is the center. In terms of plot setting, the film focuses on the tortuous love between the British aristocrat Mrs. Ashley and the cowboy Drover, but the characterization is too stereotyped and completely clones Scarlett and Brad in Gone with the Wind, lacking drama. The conflict makes the encounter, acquaintance, and love of the two unprepared, which is very abrupt, and the overly ideal ending does not resonate with the audience.
Australia The storyline is flawed

The film is of high quality and is a very good work! But as everyone said, the film is too long, and the description of the villain is quite a failure. But in the end it was still a good film.

The Adventures of Beautiful and Handsome Guys in Troubled Times. Catching cattle in the first half is better than fighting in the second half. The more you watch the second half, the more boring and old-fashioned you feel. The aboriginal old man in it can definitely be called Bumpman... PS. "Over the Rainbow" sung by Miss Nicole is so hilarious! hahaha~
