Movie comments: Australia
This 2 hour and 45 minute movie was worth the length. I would have liked this epic style movie even if it was longer. Although it had flaws, it kept my interest throughout. It mixed adventure, drama and romance quite well. It even had ethical points in its portrayal of the treatment of aboriginals and mixed peoples. A favorite phrase in the movie was "just because it is does not mean that it should be". It was fittingly used twice in the film. The parts of the film which relates to this phrase are some of the reasons I connected with this film. This and a similar statement that we shouldn't do something just because we can are important subjects which I think should be worked into movies as much as possible. This movie's "just because it is does not mean that it should be" subject matter is imperfect but valuable.
