Deserves a Defender!!!
I know I haven't written in a very long time (I discovered critiquing movies is actually really hard), but I feel I need to defend the movie Australia. I saw this movie the day it opened and LOVED it!!! I thought it was one of the best movies I had seen in a very long time. It may even be one of my favorite movies. I thought the acting was outstanding and the story was amazing.
What I loved about this movie was it brought to light a piece of history that many people did not know about. I never knew how Australia was involved in World War II and further about the oppression of the aboriginal children.
The movie was long... I understand this, but it was worth it long. I kept wanting more. I thought the romance between Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman was beautiful and the way they form a family was incredible.
I loved everything about this movie. I can't say enough about it. If you didn't like it, watch it again with a renewed attitude. If you haven't seen it, forget everything you have heard and watch it without expectation.
Support Australia because it really got a totally undeserved shaft.
PS... I thought Benjamin Button was totally boring. It was a good story, but I will never watch it again. I don't know why it go so much acclaim and Australia didn't. I am a little upset!!!

My grandma and I were just talking about how critics are panning this movie! We have Aussie ancestors, so we all went to see this over Christmas break and LOVED it! It was so beautiful. You could take a frame from the movie, pause it, and frame it on your wall. Everything about it was wonderful...and that little boy just melted my heart. Critics are ridiculous...I never listen to what they say!
