Although not a masterpiece

This so-called epic masterpiece is by no means epic, nor is it a masterpiece, but it is worth watching. The names of Baz Luchman, Nicole Kidman, and Hugh Jackman are enough to attract some literary and artistic youths. And the eyeballs of pseudo-literary and artistic youths, paraphrasing it into Australia's turbulent times further exaggerates this pseudo-epic feeling. In fact, this film has only one theme - love, and it is not such a noble love, just a lonely British widow and an Australian cowboy. The simple attraction between the two sexes, as for thinking about war, the history of blood and tears of indigenous people, and cultural roots are all the ingredients for this love feast, which makes it interesting to the audience. In fact, this film is set in Australia during World War II. A blockbuster is a very good soap opera that doesn't need to use your brain. It has all the necessary elements. Don't think too much. If you are serious, you will lose.

The scenery is infinitely good, but the plot is bad.

The work feels average, but the costumes, lighting, etc. I really like it. Many movie pictures are very beautiful, and the light and shadow effects are also great.

Lady Sarah Ashley: That's what I need to speak to you about.
Drover: Where's Fletcher?
Lady Sarah Ashley: We disagreed, and I dismissed him.
Drover: [Dumbfounded] ... *Dismissed?*
Lady Sarah Ashley: Yes.
Drover: Wait, wait a minute, hold on. What about the cattle?
Lady Sarah Ashley: Well, as he was leaving, he *deliberately* let the cows out of the, uh... I don't know, whatever you call it, and they *ran off.*
Drover: [Storms off] Damn! Do you realize, woman, what you've done?
Lady Sarah Ashley: Mr. Drover, do not take that tone with me *thank you, very much!*
Drover: [Stomps back to her] Don't take that tone with ya, huh?
Lady Sarah Ashley: [Firmly] No.
Drover: I'm askin' ya, woman, do you know what you've *done?* I won't get another drove this late in the season, alright? You've cost me my *living!*
Lady Sarah Ashley: Can't you just round them up?
Drover: Round 'em up, huh? Oh, round 'em up, yeah. Huh? Round 'em up!
Lady Sarah Ashley: Yes! You just... go *get them!*
Drover: Fifteen-hundred head o' cattle, scattered over a million acres with just me, and my two men. That's a *great* idea! Stupid cow...
