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 technology and nature, modernity and tradition, and even the contradiction between modern Western civilization and ancient Australian civilization. The film's greatest success lies in the perfect visual effects. Director Baz Luhrmann is known for his gorgeous visual effects. "Romeo and Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge" bring us great visual shock, especially the bright colors of the latter have become my favorite love. piece. In terms of shooting methods, the film adopts the retro shooting method of the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, and pays great attention to the beauty of the lens. Most of them are long shots and slow scenes, but there is a natural smoothness. out of place. This makes the shots in the film as beautiful as oil paintings, fully showing the heart-pounding wild nature of the vast Australia. The beauty in the film alone is enough to make you go to the cinema again.
