In the movie, in 1939, Nahla watched the newly released movie "The Wizard of Oz" curiously and excitedly at the open-air cinema in Darwin.
1939 is also a golden year in the history of Hollywood in reality. This year, in addition to The Wizard of Oz, there is also Wuthering Heights. , and the film of Gone with the Wind
Australia, which was even put into the museum, was translated into Australia's troubled times. I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental
because some people say that this film is also a tribute to Gone with the Wind to some extent.
( I also admit that the fire after Darwin was bombed by the Japanese had a very similar feel to the fire in Atlanta, and I clearly remember that the director at that time took a fancy to the protagonist Vivien Leigh, who was later determined at the filming site of the fire,
may be a bit off topic. , in
Gone with the Wind, the last line is the protagonist standing in the sunset and the line "tomorrow is another day"
and Australia is the heroine's "let's go home" to the reunited "family" (I It's not the last sentence at the end of the film, it's the sentence after the big reunion)
but just like the sentence "tomorrow is another day", "let's go home" has also become the most classic and point of view in this movie.
The most moving ballad of the movie, the ballad that evokes nostalgia and reunion, turned out to be a song from The Wizard of Oz— Made in Hollywood, it was brought to Nahla by Sarah from the UK.
I basically don’t know the history of Australia. I only know that it is a country that is easy to study and immigrate to. Then, when I knew that it was only more than 200 years old, I began to understand.
The mixed-race Nahla doesn't know his "roots". Historically, he was called "The Stolen Generation". They were forcibly sent to places like mission island for so-called albino training
and were called Drover (translated as cowboys). ), the white male protagonist will also say that in the eyes of the Northern Territory people, he is only an indigenous person.
The United Kingdom came to visit her husband, and finally took care of Sarah in Faraway Down, and did not leave here because of the death of her husband and the coercion of early immigrants.
Three people make up such a strange family, and in their line, there are Cantonese cook Song xx (oops, I don't remember the name of the character Yuanhua), purebred native servants, and employed by ex-husbands The same is the British immigrant workers
. In fact, it is already a shadow of this country.
Nahla hopes to one day grow up to be able to find his roots in this land with his truly Aboriginal grandfather.
Drover just wants to use action to get a life with a story.
Sarah, in Faraway Down, in Darwin in the Northern Territory, for different People are determined to do different things and never leave the land called Australia.
I think we have seen the history and stories of Australia. The
scenes that impressed me the most were the bartender, who seriously enforced the government's regulations, That is, women and natives are not allowed to enter the bar:
not only does Sarah have to be praised by everyone that "she is like a man" to be able to enter;
but even if Darwin has been bombarded to the point of being smashed, he still refuses Drover to bring the natives to enter, and he still remains after entering. refuse to give him a wine glass
Just like a man, that's how the story of Australia came about.
Before the government abolished the senseless whitening policy in 1974, everyone followed it in this senseless and absurd way.
There are immigrants of different skin colors and from different places. , and there are many of them. They wrote this country with their own culture, but they were transformed by the strong culture of this country.
Only those indigenous people who are discriminated against, they are different from those immigrants who only have a history of 200 years. They should not be just a group of remodeled people. They are really the "roots" of Australia.

Although they are not really a strong favorite, but this The film makes people understand some stories in Australia, fresh and curious~

    The first half is very attractive, the magnificent Australian landscape, the boundless wilderness, the unbridled cowboy, the lonely girl, and the second half is slightly ordinary

    I happened to see it in the cinema 10 years ago. This film is the record holder of the highest box office in Australian film history, and the Australian people’s enthusiasm for it just shows: the more a country without history, the more people are eager for a sense of identity. This sense of identity is just to eliminate "Where do we come from? We are Who? Where are we going? A country cannot be built in the nihility of history, so we need "The Founding of a Nation" and they need "Australia." The difference here is that we have history, but in front of the majestic epics in the true sense, we were blindfolded by a certain hand, and this hand then pulled off the piece of historical glass and placed it in a velvet box. It tells us that it is a diamond; they have no history, but they carefully collect every piece of history like a gleaner in the setting sun, and then use modern technology to cast it into a fair-cut man-made crystal, which is not invaluable. , But it is also a lesson. This film is very similar to "Gone with the Wind". However, "Chaos" has Scarlett, and "Australia" has only Australian rivers and mountains. Facts have proved that it is always the person who can move people more than the scenery.
