story takes place in Australia on the eve of World War II, the elegant British aristocrat Sarah In order to protect the land she inherited, she traveled thousands of miles to the wild land on the other side of the earth-Australia. 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 had to "cowboy" with the local unruly herders in the dilemma of her husband being conspired to death. Working together, in the confrontation with the local evil forces Carney and Fletcher, she and the "cowboy" had love, and then, in the troubled times of Japanese aggression, love was tested, which seems to be all the soul-stirring love Inevitably, love can only be sublimated in wars and disasters, such as "Gone with the Wind", "Pearl Harbor", "Titanic"...
Although in the process of shooting this film, Nicole Kidd Man was in poor shape in certain movie clips because of having a baby, but when she saw the glorious and dirty but sexy Jackman find a home on the farm together, she still couldn't help being stunned by the electric current.
However, this enchanting love tomato is not the only stew in the director Baz Luhrmann’s pot, like making a "Gone with the Wind" style movie, he is more keen to make a "Into Africa" Or "Dancing with Wolves", that is, through the main line of love, and then connect the magnificent landscapes and folk customs of the Australian mainland to create an epic. The outbreak of the Second World War and the introduction of the Japanese occupation of Darwin and other backgrounds are obviously looking back at the history of Australia.
Although Ruhrman is not Garcia Márquez, he seems to be quite obsessed with magical realism. For Australia, which has only three hundred years of modern civilization history, he integrates into a mixed-race indigenous boy and obeys the call of ancient culture. The elements seem to make this epic look magnificent, magnificent and legendary. Therefore, you will see the potential conflict between the love clue and another theme in the movie. Whenever the old indigenous representative "King George" appears in a vicissitudes and firm attitude, an inexplicable laughter erupts in the cinema. Ruhrman's pious tribute to Australia's indigenous civilization, when it reaches the audience, it turns into a mockery of outrage.
Because the meaning of this "Australian epic" may become different, maybe its true epic meaning is that in this movie, all the best Australian actors in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman, Hugh...Even if Heath Ledger was absent for the filming of "The Dark Knight," the film's cast is enough to stay in Australian film history.
