  • I have seen the movie 'AUSTRALIA' today, it truly was a rare and exceptional film. I will never forget the experience and the real insightful look into the history of Australia. I found the movie transport you into a place were you experience real life emotional turmoil, death, heartache, grief, compassion, ultimate acts of hatred, racism, showing a true reflection of the stolen generation, injustice, human beings at their worst, plus human beings at their exceptional best and potential, breathtaking scenery, sincere touches of warmth, heartfelt expressions of innocence, real love, turmoil within the human spirit, transformation, delightful moments of joy, touches of magic, great humour and laughter, sensitivity and respect towards aboriginal culture and spirituality.
    This is a rare piece of creativity that touches the heart in a subtle but powerful way.
    Thank you Baz Luhrmann for your rare insightful movie of Australia .... I jumped with fright, laughed loudly, cried with sadness and from a place of great joy.
    This is a REALLY SPECIAL FILM.
