Really average

The movie has been downloaded for a while, and it has been on the hard drive.
I have time to watch this afternoon.

If there is no "Burning Love", if there is no "Last Dictatorship", if there is no "Elizabeth", if not. . .
Maybe I can give it four stars.

But the content of the entire film is quite weak. A child's shoes said that there is an epic shelf and no epic content. I quite agree with this.

There are so many elements in the film that I don’t know what the director wants to express.

What is the "legacy generation"? Is it a mixed-race native? Or is it the people left behind after the war? It is also difficult for me to imagine that Australia is now a descendant of indigenous people.
From the initial commercial competition to the subsequent wars, there are hints of the mysterious power of indigenous people, love, race, humanity, and so on.

If the director wants to express a person's epic life like "The Years of Love", then what is the mysterious power interspersed in it?
Is it to celebrate the perseverance of a woman? It doesn't look like it.
love? perhaps.
War or politics? But is it too weak to take only a quarter of the space?

From beginning to end, I feel that what the director wants to sing is the mysterious and natural singing.
I didn't want to make a suspenseful horror movie, so I gave it a bullish name "Australia".
Even so, is it necessary to mobilize the crowd and expend huge materials to bring the war in?
It seems that if you get involved in the war, you can get a prize.

But judging from last year’s Oscars, the director’s wishful thinking was still wrong.

In short, this film has nothing to do with Nick's very seductive figure.

It really failed!

    There's no place like home!

    You can see the director's ambition, including many elements, including love, affection, war, racial issues and so on. It seems that the content is full and full, but in fact made a mistake, that is, the focus is too much and complicated! But it is still undeniable that the mirroring and framing of this movie is really beautiful, and it makes people feel refreshed and enjoyable!
