Time: 19:30, November 24, 2008
Venue: Scotia Bank Cinema
Event: Fox Company's preview of "Australia"

Since this weekend is the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, the new films will be drawn on Wednesday in advance; Move forward to Monday. . .


From the title to the director to the male and female lead actors, this movie is really "true to its name". The No. 1 actress in the film, Nicole Kidman, has had a bad reception in recent years. The last commendable performance may have to be traced back to the "Cold Mountain" five years ago. Coincidentally, this "Australia" has a taste of "Cold Mountain", and her performance this time can't help but remind people of her old appearances in masterpieces such as "Frightening Island" and "Moment". It's a pity that she wants to turn around with this movie, and the prospects are not very promising. The problem is, despite being nearly three hours long, we still find her thought process and emotional transition a bit abrupt. The same question can also be applied to the character of "Wolverine" Hugh Jackman. We can forgive him for repeatedly using a rough and uninhibited appearance to play cool or borrowing a gentle suit to play handsome in the film. After the maternal animal tut-tuts behind him, he must take some time to sort out the veins of his tender intestines. Baz Luhmann seems to be only a top player on the stage, and he is very good at directing a poignant "Moulin Rouge" or a flirtatious "Modern Passion After Romeo and Juliet". Once you move to the vast land, you will be a little uncomfortable. Although, it is still the land where he was born and raised. Concluding remarks: The length of the film is a bit long, the director and actors are a bit pretentious, and the plot is a bit unexpected, but the majestic Australian scenery and the atmospheric soundtrack can make people feel stunned. It is also worth noting that the little actor who plays the indigenous people has a simple and lovely acting and a bright future.

  • Title Card: After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December 1944, the Imperial Japanese Navy steamed south, unleashing their fire on Darwin, a city in the northern territory of Australia. 'The territory' was a land of crocodiles, cattle barons, and warrior chiefs where adventure and romance was a way of life. It was also a place where aboriginal children of mixed race were taken by force from their families and trained for service in white society. These children became know as the stolen generations.
