      The Man from

      Snow Burrows fell in love with the mountains and grazing grasslands of southeastern Australia, where the climate is changing rapidly, and the horse herders are hard-working and brave. They felt that only the famous poem "The Man from the Snowy River" by Patterson, the great Australian folk songwriter and founder of the Australian Jungle Legend, could express their feelings, so they came up with this poem as the end of the film to conceive the previous story.

      A Review of < The Man from Snowy River >

      The film recreates the life of Australia's pioneers, as well as the natural beauty of the Australian alpine jungle and the hero of the herdsmen. There is no doubt that this movie has its drawbacks as well as merits.

      I'm a little confused because I'm watching raw meat, but the clip of the two getting along is very warm and the last scene where Jim pinches his hat to Jess and looks at each other is very warm and...

      I like horses since I was a child, so I once copied Xu Beihong's galloping horse. When I saw the majestic galloping horse in the movie, I was still agitated in my heart. The male protagonist is handsome, the female protagonist. . . In comparison, there are still many beauties in...

    In Australia at the end of the 19th century, in a mountainous area far from town, young Jim and his father lived by raising horses. Like other boys, Jim loved horses from a young age and fantasized about being a hero on a steed. At that time, a group of purebred wild horses often haunted the woods near Jim's house. Many horse lovers tried to bring them back to domestication, but all failed. One day, the wild horses attacked the forest...
