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 indigenous people at that time, including the influence of the stolen generation on their Aboriginal, the discrimination against Aborigines by whites at that time, and of course the mystery of Aboriginal culture. We were talking about Australian Icon at the time, and that movie was used as an example for all grades.
Let's talk about some of the characteristics of Aboriginal culture: Aboriginal culture mainly includes some stories like Dreamtime, some strange rituals, some beliefs, some unique music and art. When that Drover and lady Ashley wanted to walk across a desert (never never land), they couldn't do anything. And with the appearance of King George, all the problems were solved. And King George is the representative of the indigenous people and their culture. Some of his actions show the vivid and mysterious indigenous culture through the close-up shots in the film. There's a sentence in it that goes like this: These natives write songs for anything in the world, like deserts, rivers, earth, sky. . .
Then again, Stolen Generation. The Stolen generation was at that time when the indigenous people had to be separated from their children because of some white policies, and these children were adopted and assimilated by the white people. Many of those adopted children were oppressed and treated unfairly by white families. Because there are no parents around and they have always been discriminated against, many of these children have psychological problems. In this movie, little Nullah was taken away by white people for some reason and sent to a concentration camp. Fortunately, he finally met his parents.
Finally, a little more, the movie has a plot about Aborigines being discriminated against. In this movie, there is a very classic scene, which is the bar. And in this bar, a lot of unfair things happened. For example, when the drover's brother-in-law entered the bar, someone said "No boongs in here!". The Boongs refers to Aborigines.
There are all kinds of Australian features in this movie, such as driving of cattles, which some Australians used to make a living, and for example, Nullah quieted a group of manic cattle through his "magic", so He also saved himself on the edge of the cliff, such as the boab tree inside, and so on. . . I have to say that this is the most realistic movie that restores Australia. I also hope that everyone can appreciate it and not be fooled by the title. . .
