EVERYTHING about this movie is perfect, and the soundtrack is really strong....Yes...Jenny is....rather convincing shall we say, but the true erotic tension is carried by Roeg's camera angles in the quick leg shots, particularly the very first one , as she takes the picnic basket out of the car. SUCH A POWERFUL MONOLOGUE AT THE END, as she unfortunately ''settles for the typical whitebread punk'', and what a lesson we have to learn from that. LISTEN UP GIRLS !! FERAL GUYS ONLY!!
This is a beautiful film. Some great shots of the Australian landscape and so many different elements come together to produce a film thats just very good.
@cutandpaste1 I risk sounding like some know-it-all, but I see the ending this way: she's grown up, and she's living in the same apartment - her husband is typical upper-class, and when she looks in his eyes, she stops and thinks...wait a minute; I'm in the same situation as my parents: dad killed himself, almost took us with him, one day I'll have children myself - is my husband also going to go crazy one day? Would staying with the Aborigine have been a stupid choice?? Am I REALLY safer here?
@vrikey I believe the vision she had at the end wasn't what actually happened, more like a little fantasy of hers, of what might have been - a little piece of paradise she holds in her mind, one that'll perhaps give her strength and knowing should her daily routines become too jaded and brittle - her experiences have awarded her with a well-balanced sense of perspective, and some necessary proportion.
@cutandpaste1 You don't see the father being handed a pink-slip, because the director didn't spell it out in black & white; but look for clues: he's called into the office, we see him slumped on the window sill, he's lost his decorum, trying to absorb the blow; then he's outside alone, on a bench and not at his desk, gazing skyward deep in thought; then back home, his black VW is the only car in the parking lot - it's the middle of the day, all other cars are gone, people are at work - not him
@vrikey I'd say you've made a rock solid case. He killed himself after he was sacked. I've been sacked and didn't loose my head. It must have been a particularly unfair sacking that sent him over the brink.
i just watched the entire movie on NF instant. I liked the art, but it was a bit difficult to understand. Also could it have killed them to put dam translation on there but i guess they wanted us just as in the dark as the kids.
@WonderWomanFan4life The dad is fired from his job at the beginning, and he's having a major (midlife) crisis; he's even starting to eye his own daughter, who's flowering into a gorgeous young adult - something he wants to have, reclaim his lost youth, etc. He sees his scatter-brained son, sees his innocence, and he no longer knows how to provide for his family; with all this turmoil in his head, he takes the crazy way out: kill his offspring, erase all traces of his failure, then kill himself
@vrikey The dad's failure to cope and survive in the civilised world leads to his children's trying to learn survival in another world: the wild. In a way, the story is a test for them: dad didn't pass his test and now it's their turn. Director Roeg didn't just throw in a lot of visuals, he made them juxtapositions & contrasts. At the end, we see the girl as a married woman, contentedly puffing on a cig, making dinner for hubby; but when she looks in his eyes, she wonders what she might have had
@WonderWomanFan4life When I first saw the film in the 80s, my reaction was of course "Huh, that was weird!" But by subsequent viewings I found it more enjoyable and easier to follow.
yeah i think i should watch it again. i did like the artistic visuals. i would love to interview the director. the visuals were very nice. and i did enjoy the film the little boy was adorable.
i rate this movies the best movie every made i think , its very hard to second rate movies. i thought tweleve o'clock high was the best . the whole story, actors , including nature. and the BS of modern world. the story came across loud and clear .. just a fantastic movie. i love it.
muff is good trimmed, but people have gone overboard with the shaving and that's a FACT. Hairy bush is a bit much. Still, this woman is hot beyond reason, also got naked in Logan's Run, so it's not like anyone would complain. Still guys like to be able to groom their gfs a bit, so some shaving would be nice. Out in the desert would be awesome with a chick like this, until the scary rapists from Road Warrior showed up.
This dude suffers between lust & love to the extreme. I would have felt the same way if I were in his skin...A lot of sexual innuendos going on without any orgasms. Could've been a classic if it had been made as a porn... I mean... for a guy, so to speak.
this film is great and how could you not fall in love with Jenny ,the naked swimming scene is very sexy ,maybe I'm old but I think that women looked better before they started to shave ,get tatoos,piercings and workout so they have muscles like men, women looked WAY BETTER back then and Jenny is proof of that
@stratluvr Nah! Women are just as good looking as they always were, with or without muscles or tattoos/ piercings. I DO, however, miss a full unshaven bush. A nice untrimmed UBERMUFF is always good. ;D
Jenny Agutter is a ravishing beauty in this film. Despite her character as the staunch but dumb and proper English girl, her nude scenes are lovely, explicit and erotic (good description, plane 15). A cult classic that does go a bit overboard in its metaphors and scene juxtapositions showing the "civilized" white Australians cold disrespect for the land versus the aborigine connection to the land as their way of life. Great music score, too.
@pastorrtom Not to mention, maybe just dig down about 5 feet where the water WAS? It was still muddy so surely there'd be standing water down below. Oh well, I just like to fantasize about being lost in the desert with a hot little teeny bopper. Good movie, good music, good photography.
@pastorrtom Holy fuck. Who's stupid?? It's a movie you dick. The part is written to show the dim arrogance of a white Australian actually condescending (big word for you I know) to a native aporiginal. Y'know, a REAL Auastralian? Christ. Try and play along genius.
@kimokaker Wooah.. My comment was about this clip, not the entire movie. Ur comment is generic shit u turned my way. Keep ur shit to yourself, please, I didnt ask for it. Maybe people like shit where you come from, but they dont here. U dont know me at all, lol, and u write so many personal insults.. Thanks for bringing a smile to my day :)
@pastorrtom Not personal, donkey balls. If you don't have a functioning brain, don't play-act that you have one. It's too confusing for you. Your original comment is plain to see: a dumb, generic episode of vebal diarrhea. You know the saying: better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Young canadian boy when I watched this back in the 70s. Loved the move, got me hooked on digeridoo... at the age of 9 I was taking empty christmas wrapping paper tubes and using it like a dijeridoo. HAHA.
Oh, and that unforgettable scene when she swims nude in the pond.. I was in love with her for the next 10 years of my life.
What year was this film filmed? Some say '69 and then some would say it was filmed back in '70. So I understand it was released back in '71, but since this was a low budget film and fairly easy to make. I would guess winter (aussie) of 1970. Remember, it had to be in the winter months which would be June though August for them.
this part where he does this dance is at the ending. he basically saves their lives and they would have died out there without his help .. he falls in love with her but she shows him no affection.. she basically treats him as if he is a servent .. wATER? Food? this that? please. it was a great story of how WHITE people actually do not care they are destructive and they dont care about their family, friends, loved ones. The Aberigine cared about them.you will see watch the movie
@WonderWomanFan4life Yeah, us white folk are all screwed up. But, you gotta admit, we make great movies about our screwed up selves and some of our woman, e.g. Jenny Agutter, are smokin' hot.
This movie is one of the finest photographed movies I have ever seen. The landscapes are breathtaking. Seeing Jenny with her kit off was just a bonus.
He's talking about water at the start, then asks who they are and indicates his identity, Gardawarr tribe, and then says he's going etc. etc. He's talking in Ganalbingu language.
I am sure jenny is a very nice person. wasnt talking about her I was refering to her character in the movie. I dont know about the rest of you but I have done some pretty stupid things in my life( one of which was going to america)but I have never acted that dumb or weird or arrogant ...ever!!!! Where's the water...indeed. lucky it wasnt me she was asking lol :)
I've met Jenny Agutter, on the set of 'Diamond Geezer' she's a lovely person, Having met other actresess' before, as an Tv/Film/Theatre extra, she was by far, one of the most approachable .
Very long time since I had seen this movie. Forgot how perfectly perfect David is. Just blatantly reminds me that I don't belong where I am and I should be back in OZ
Everybody says she is dumb but (1) how many of you could carry on so well under the circumstances, with a little brother to take care of and (2) all this right after seeing her father die and (3) how many of you would be able to choose an entirely different way of life, just like that? It's not so simple, you know. The film is about all this also.
That's completely irrelevant to the fact that she's stupid enough to believe that everybody speaks English. And also the fact that she is too stupid to make use of body language and gestures, as the boy was capable of doing.
i don't wish to generalize but white australia holds the strongest ignorance when it comes to indigenous australians.. if one was asked for information, or to at least say something about them, the only thing most people could say is that they are black.
I wish they'd show the rest of the movie. I've been looking on itunes and rental stores for it but like no1 has it. I just finished reading it for school. Judgeing from this, they changed a bunch of stuff from the book. As for u dexinc17, ur a perv
Because it's been entrenched in our society that Anglo-Australians (or in a broader sense the White population) are superior to the Indigenous and migrants of darker appearance. Doesn't make it right but that's basically how it works. (Sorry, I study in this area, lol)
Nice to know but i dont believe that anymore its just nonesense now. I am a white Australian I have Aboriginal kids so i am very proud of my childrens heritage and culture if this is your area of study well werent white anglo saxon people evolved from the first humans which were black. the first two human bones were found in africa dubbed Adam and eve
Whites are cold(er) weather adapted human beings. The greatest variation in human genes can be found in abroignal African code. In other words we're all slightly different acorns, but we're all from the same tree. That's what science says. I for one think the smartest route to travel now.
the "aboriginal african" was and is not the black negro but the yellow skinned bushman, you can see a sallow yello colour in all the older races.. aswell as a odd chest shape. the murian races of the highlands of papua new guinea are a good exsample of yellow skinned people , of a great age.. there races is far older than the blacks in australia and far far older than the melanesians who inhabit the cost.. the carpenterian race of black skinned people came to australian recently from india
blackness is an adaption.. the first humans were proably most likely yellow or pallid in colour,
the black races are very recent..
the bantu race or african negro is considered the newest true race... the oldest are the "negrito " or "bushman " type races found throughout the old world ,, they are yellow in colour.. the nex oldest known races are some tribal peoples of the far east of siberia.. who are.. white to yellow-tan in colour
Actually, its the other way around! Before the separation of apes and humans, skin was ligth and hairy, but as we moved to be HUMANS we lost the hair, and got more darkskinned for protection, due to the proximity to the equator. As tribes moved up to the nothern hemisphere, the pigmentation disminited, to let through the more tepid sunlight of the north. Theres more in wiki: Human_skin_color
please, what would you do if you were from the other side of the world,had no idea who aborginies were, had just almost been murdered by your father and were now stuck in the deadly outback. It's hard to rationalyse. all you can do is try
a wonderful film...loved the animals and scenery. Great acting. I liked the flashbacks and the way the three main characters found joy and trust in each other.
At 15 I saw it at the Art House Movie Theatre, The Biograph in DC. It was a mesmerizing transforming experience. Being a young progressive & very eclectic Black hippie kid in 71, I related to David Gulpilil although it was my first time experiencing the Aboriginal Culture. I also had a mad crush on Jenny Agutter.WOW Fortunately since I've had similar romantic sensual adventures like the one at the pond. I think the film helped me live out some of fantasies or at least envision some of them.
BuddhaJampel laws vary by country and in some places it would be illegal. At the time the film was made there was a different attitude to things and girls of 16 posed nude in the UK. Jenny Agutter was nude in mmany films and I for one am not complaining. Michael Stephen Nolan
EVERYTHING about this movie is perfect, and the soundtrack is really strong....Yes...Jenny is....rather convincing shall we say, but the true erotic tension is carried by Roeg's camera angles in the quick leg shots, particularly the very first one , as she takes the picnic basket out of the car. SUCH A POWERFUL MONOLOGUE AT THE END, as she unfortunately ''settles for the typical whitebread punk'', and what a lesson we have to learn from that. LISTEN UP GIRLS !! FERAL GUYS ONLY!!

I think she is a classic example of how how pretty girls are dumb
Master1906 2 years ago
Everybody says she is dumb but (1) how many of you could carry on so well under the circumstances, with a little brother to take care of and (2) all this right after seeing her father die and (3) how many of you would be able to choose an entirely different way of life, just like that? It's not so simple, you know. The film is about all this also.

If I was her I'd be crying my eyes out but I wouldnt say stuff as retarded as that.
Master1906 2 years ago
I don't know. People's under stress can behave very un-Hollywood-like. I heard of soldiers in Vietnam who were e.g. VERY picky about clean hair.

That's completely irrelevant to the fact that she's stupid enough to believe that everybody speaks English. And also the fact that she is too stupid to make use of body language and gestures, as the boy was capable of doing.

i don't wish to generalize but white australia holds the strongest ignorance when it comes to indigenous australians.. if one was asked for information, or to at least say something about them, the only thing most people could say is that they are black.
of course, i'm a teenager living in sydney...

Because it's been entrenched in our society that Anglo-Australians (or in a broader sense the White population) are superior to the Indigenous and migrants of darker appearance. Doesn't make it right but that's basically how it works. (Sorry, I study in this area, lol)

Nice to know but i dont believe that anymore its just nonesense now. I am a white Australian I have Aboriginal kids so i am very proud of my childrens heritage and culture if this is your area of study well werent white anglo saxon people evolved from the first humans which were black. the first two human bones were found in africa dubbed Adam and eve

Whites are cold(er) weather adapted human beings. The greatest variation in human genes can be found in abroignal African code. In other words we're all slightly different acorns, but we're all from the same tree. That's what science says. I for one think the smartest route to travel now.

the "aboriginal african" was and is not the black negro but the yellow skinned bushman, you can see a sallow yello colour in all the older races.. aswell as a odd chest shape. the murian races of the highlands of papua new guinea are a good exsample of yellow skinned people , of a great age.. there races is far older than the blacks in australia and far far older than the melanesians who inhabit the cost.. the carpenterian race of black skinned people came to australian recently from india

blackness is an adaption.. the first humans were proably most likely yellow or pallid in colour,
the black races are very recent..
the bantu race or african negro is considered the newest true race... the oldest are the "negrito " or "bushman " type races found throughout the old world ,, they are yellow in colour.. the nex oldest known races are some tribal peoples of the far east of siberia.. who are.. white to yellow-tan in colour
dark melinin is a recent adaption..

Actually, its the other way around! Before the separation of apes and humans, skin was ligth and hairy, but as we moved to be HUMANS we lost the hair, and got more darkskinned for protection, due to the proximity to the equator. As tribes moved up to the nothern hemisphere, the pigmentation disminited, to let through the more tepid sunlight of the north. Theres more in wiki: Human_skin_color

At 15 I saw it at the Art House Movie Theatre, The Biograph in DC. It was a mesmerizing transforming experience. Being a young progressive & very eclectic Black hippie kid in 71, I related to David Gulpilil although it was my first time experiencing the Aboriginal Culture. I also had a mad crush on Jenny Agutter.WOW Fortunately since I've had similar romantic sensual adventures like the one at the pond. I think the film helped me live out some of fantasies or at least envision some of them.

BuddhaJampel laws vary by country and in some places it would be illegal. At the time the film was made there was a different attitude to things and girls of 16 posed nude in the UK. Jenny Agutter was nude in mmany films and I for one am not complaining. Michael Stephen Nolan
