The indigenous child in the film is the narrator of the story, and he and the indigenous old man are also the spirit of the whole film. Without these two native characters, it would make sense to move the entire film to the American West. In order to shape the Australian spirit of the film, the director has taken great pains. The two leading actors supported the entire long film with their strong personal charm, and they were indeed very successful in casting.
I prefer to pick on the thorns, so I will say a few more shortcomings. First of all, the director didn't grasp the emotional tone of the movie. The first few scenes where the lead actor appeared were very happy, and they took the comedy line; until they found out that her husband was dead, they began to feel bitter and hateful, and they began to play inspirational again; Shipped and started to play romance. It's been exactly one hour and forty minutes so far. If it ends here, it's a romantic movie, and it's okay. At the back, it seems that the director felt that the filming was wrong. He originally wanted to talk about the spirit of Australia. How could the film be made of two people falling in love, so he added a shrunken version of Pearl Harbor, and finally the theme was sublimated. All in all, it's a bit out of touch, and the emotional tone is always changing. Without combining the two, love and national feelings, the stories are basically told separately. The more successful "Gone with the Wind" does not give people such a sense of disconnection. Hao Sijia's personal encounters and love are closely integrated with the background of the entire era. Maybe the script is not good enough.
