      Australia--I Like Pretty Girls and Handsome Guys

      Australia does not understand the profound national culture, nor does it understand the grievances between whites and indigenous people, nor does it understand what role Australia played in the war. I went to the hero and heroine purely because I was a member of the superficial appearance association. Therefore, although the content is a bit dogmatic, the ending is a bit cliché, and the child's performance is a bit...

      what this movie is about (may contain spoilers)

      For our 11th grade related text, I had to give it 5 stars. After reading so many comments, none of them are what I want to see, so I specially wrote this comment to correct its name.
      It's not really about love or war, it's about the conflict between Aboriginal Australians and white people. Probably because of a mistranslation of the movie title. . . Its birth name is "Australia", which translates to just Australia. There really is no other meaning. It describes the condition of the...

      so pretty

      In the film, Nara, a native Australian child who runs through the film, examines the emotions of this troubled world as a bystander. The songs from the innocent children's mouth bring us a sense of coolness, and there are also aboriginal old people who are looming all the time. The ancient continent adds a touch of mystery. In the film, there are many clips of indigenous people, young and old, singing mysterious songs in the noisy modern tribe, which even more shows the contradiction between...

      Recall an unruly heart, true love is eternal

      The night was getting darker and the weather was slightly cooler. I curled up in the quilt and wrapped myself tightly with the quilt. It wasn't because of how cold it was or anything else. It brought me a visual impact and a spiritual baptism.

      The total length of the film is 165 minutes, and the domestic version is 158 minutes. Most of the 7 minutes that have been deleted are also emotional scenes, sex scenes, etc. between the hero and the heroine. Fortunately, it is not a very...

      Gone with the Wind

      Australia's turmoil. The title of the film is not very nice. It is a typical Chinese translation. I once translated it into "Once Upon a Time in Australia". Thinking about it, it is too general. I don't know if there is a better translation. In fact, it is a very clichéd film. Just looking at the introduction makes people think of the previous "Out of Africa". Amazingly similar heroine candidates: the same tall, aristocratic, pale blond, rare in the West, and her inner beliefs are even more...

      It's not an epic film that drags out time. The last hour is totally fine. The front is independent, and it is called "Australian Cowherd", which is very good. The most unbearable is Jin George, who floats around all day. Everyone knows that he has to complete the mission of the final fatal...

      The vast and magnificent land of Australia is very shocking... It really feels like an Australian tourism promotional film! like very much! ! ! The cute women and handsome guys played by Nicole and the cute Abriginal baby are very eye-catching! ! If you don't have some Abriginal knowledge background, you can't really understand the mood of this film.... The story is very good and powerful~ I'm still very moved... Although many sentences are...

      To be honest, evaluating this movie from a plot point of view, it's not very good, and I'm a little disappointed. The reason for the 3 stars is that it is conquered by the suffocating Australian natural scenery. And, of course, Nicole. I should also remind you that it is best to watch the original version. Wang Xuechun's dubbing is simply...

When she arrived in this endless land, she found that in addition to having to overcome the many challenges brought about by the unfamiliar environment, she also had to work with...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Russell Crowe was once the candidate for the film's leading actor, but because of the 20th Century Fox's plan to cut its pay to reduce the film budget, Russell Crowe finally left the film crew.
    More than 1,500 wild horses were used in the filming of the film.

    Setting up

    The crew chose to use two large open spaces next to the pier in the coastal area of ​​Bowen Town, Australia, to set up the scene. In this five-acre scene, it took ten weeks to build, including a two-story bar, a Chinatown, dirt roads, antique telephone poles and street lamps, and renovated the existing buildings to integrate them into the fictional scene. It even condenses all Darwinian elements into a small geographic area. The...

    The storyline is flawed

    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...

    The movie is full of selling points

    The biggest selling point of the film is the selection of Nicole Kidman, a typical representative of all men’s beauty and elegance, and the world’s sexiest male star "Wolverine" Hugh Jackman starred together. The two Hollywood stars jointly performed "Australia". "Troubled Times" makes the audience very easy to think of the classic old movie "Gone with the Wind", which is also full of masculinity, chic and charming; actresses are...
