AUSTRALIA MOVIE REVIEW

[muukiomuingi]

Love watching the movie coz I can't get enough of the Australian accent, especially drover's. Quite hilarious indeed. :P

[JackOfferlott]

Murder, betrayal, theft, passion, intrepidness, honor...this is the story of Australia. In many ways, the movie is the story of Australia herself. Founded in a brutal and violent oppression, Australia is still a land of unimaginable beauty. "Life: it can begin again", says Nullah at the end of the film. Nothing describes the story of Australia better than that. She renewed herself from the unspeakable abomination of its regrettable past to become the great modern nation that it is today.

[MsHardstyle4life]

the reason most people are racisit is because like im white and french every were i go a bunch of people always got somthing to say i mean every were so fuck every one else im racist against alot of cultuers i never used to be at all i used to fair with every one but you got so much racisim so all i do is be racist back but i like aussies they know how to party

[mudog35]

queen

[mdelar]

@mudog35 yes? :)

[Victorian9322]

I <3 Australia and their accents.

[MyMonkys]

Aborigines are massacred by Australians during the period of frontier conflict. NOT by Japanese.

Australians wiped out their ENTIRE POPULATIONS and covered up history.

This kinds of hypocritical propaganda disgust people who knows reality.

[russelljenkins69]

What country are you from and where did you get an education?

[jackpipsam]

they went massacred they were taken away

[292Boss]

Also.. like i said... racism still exists everywhere... why do people like yourself, like to think everything is ok?? when its not?? youre not the ones getting followed by cops because of your color or have white people cross the street when youre walking towards them after dark... it might seem like theres no racism to u, but to people like me, i deal with this kind of shit EVERYDAY. Open your motherfucking eyes because yr ignorance to this matter just adds to the problem.

[fpvshitsonhsv]

@292Boss I know where your coming from becouse aboriginals dont bother me and i say g day to anyone im walking past. But when i say it to aboriginals they look shocked for a sec and then say hello back . Im an out going type person myself and find it easy to talk to anyone but others that get all silly about it have to look at themselves as i wanna punch them in the head for doing stupid shit like that too

[Bdiddly1]

@292Boss ,ime white mate so therefor i have no clue what it feels like to get victimised for my colour,if people cant understand that they can grow the fuck up &think about it!

[realityb3n]

clearly your not in australia

[xotitanicox]

I love this movie!

[Veterinaria1987]

Wll , I liked this movie very much.

[bcoy1para]

yeah agree terrible film , fell asleep 1hrs in, woke to find a half capacity cinema, the 3rd rate graphics did it for me.

[nephia1]

Are you sure you watched the same movie as everyone else?

[bcoy1para]

well the first part im sure but fell asleep after that so who knows.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

I just saw this and its a shame what the Japanese did to them, and the U.S. came in and helped save them... but it took so very long for them to be kind to the Aborigines...

[292Boss]

Check this video out "The Mighty Dave & The Boong" ..... the racism still exists today.. im not from there... but my cousins in Australia pointed this video out to me.

[mobscene111]

Ahh now I know why everybody hates the Yanks because you are so quick to open your cheeky mouths when you actaully know nothing about what you are talking about, you haven't even been here and you're making comments about how racist we are!? go put your white pointy hat back on mate because your KKK members are committing another hate crime, can you remind me how many innocent black ppl they killed?

[292Boss]

mobscene111 im not a WHITE american. Im a Polynesian. 2ndly... my cousins live in Australia... they told me, that they still deal with racism there in Australia in their everyday lives... SO... im thinkin u are white... because whenever anyone in this country complains about racism, its usually the white folks who turn & say, "what racism"?? u WILL NEVER KNOW what its like to live in a country where youre a different race or color & majority white people.

Im not racist, Im telling u like it is.

[mobscene111]

stop yr crying and get over it, there are black ppl working as CEO's there are black ppl who own their own companies, the most powerful person in the world is black!! the U.S. president!! I lived in the most racist place on earth (France) who don't care who u r if yr not french, if yr cousins aren't happy here do what I did and go home!! be grateful there were whites 50 yrs ago that assisted the blacks in there fight for freedom other wise you'd be alot worse of now.

[292Boss]

Mobscene111 thats exactly what in fucking talking about. U have no fucking clue do u. Just because Obama is President, it dont mean shit! lmfao... people think just because a black man is in the oval office, that everything is all gravy. Shut the fuck up because your a ignorant punk that has no idea whats going on in the world. LMAO@yr stupidity.

[russelljenkins69]

Here. This may sound a bit racist but it needs to be said. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT FUCK OFF HOME!!! Is this getting through to you! I can't understand why people come to a country and fucking complain. If you like it better than war or poverty or lower standards of living then shut the fuck up.

[jackpipsam]

not as racist at usa

[mobscene111]

you're an idiot mate, why comment on how it took us so long to be kind to the Aboriginals when you guys in the U.S. were a hundred times worse to the Indians!

[Bolinas1971]

baz is a coke-head

[PARENT1993]

This movie was awesome!

was sad at a few parts....but sure was a nice romantic movie  that i have everrrr seen!

[jamesbest92]

chinkkkkyy.

[mdelar]

no....really? LOL :) Thanks for watching!

[jamesbest92]

hmmmm i dont remember saying this :S

[Randyrhoads4lyfe]

@jamesbest92 Im a chink too..hooray!!!!!!

[cm1315yo]

when i went to see this movie with my friend, i wasnt expecting much i was expecting a "king kong" type film. I was like ok the kids voice was annoying me the actors were good, and i was thrilled to see hugh jackman cause hes a great actor especially as "wolverine" anyway so an hour trought the film i asked my friend how long the movie was, he told me and i layed there shocked as hell by boredom. after 1 1/2 hours everybody started leaving the cinema!!! but i watched the whole movie, dont watch!

[1brandonfan]

the laugh at the end proves u r a homo

[newcombstrohschein]

looks like clint eastwood

[TheErroneousOne]

Technology is a direct reflection of our own intelligence, so what you're telling me right now is that our intelligence is what is ruining mankind?

Religion is more the cause of the self-destruction of humanity than technology has even in its lowest point, which would've been the atomic bomb.

There were more people who died in the crusades, and that was one of thousands of brutal massacres as opposed to there only being one lethal atomic bomb dropped.

[claynate]

technology is good but its gone way too far, maybe some more people do need to die, hav u noticed the earth is way overpopulated

[TheErroneousOne]

Technology has little to do with the world's over population. One of the biggest contributors to an over populated planet are charities that help those who cannot provide for themselves (everyone's seen the commercials of starving black children) causing the weak to live poorly rather than die off as is depicted by the process of evolution.

There are over 2 billion people who are completely unable to support themselves in the world we currently live in. That is where over population comes from.

[Deania]

I completely disagree. Technology is the prime factor in overpopulation. In short, advanced technology leads to agricultural surplus's, which feed one hell of a lot more people.

I admit, charities and organizations like that do affect it. But come on, take away a lot of the advanced technology in the world, and people will start dying off very very quickly.

Just go back to the Industrial Revolution and events like that--technology led to a boom in population, that just kept increasing.

[kbowk2]

All the chick comments loved the movie. All the guys seem to be crapping on bout history and being disappointed to be white. What's with you? People say some really dumb shit sometimes. I'm going to borrow the movie and give it a go. I probably wouldn't watch it if I wasn't from Aus. Definitely wouldn't pay to watch it.

Watch the proposition if u want a much tougher depiction of outback early 1900s Australia (written by Nick Cave). It's bout Buchrangers.

[rdowavic]

"Australia" wasted 5 minutes of my life!! This movie was a total wank, I could only bear watching 5 minutes of it because I had better things to do.. On an airplane!! Seriously. The start of it this girl was like "I went to the billabong to catch the fish. My dad taught me how." (Continuing with more tortollogies of those sentences) IT was Unbearably shitful and wankerish!

[possem33]

that was the first 5 minutes and becuase of that you stoped watching. that is jugeing a book by its cover.

[rdowavic]

Actually, I looked at the book cover, opened the first page, read it and thought it was shit. Obviously the story didn't sound like it was going to get any better, so why turn the page again?

[possem33]

im not gonna have a agument.

[rdowavic]

yeah i guess. but it doesn't really matter because youtube comments are probably the lowest form of life

[kbowk2]

an argument (grammar)

[griffin7564]

bottom line this movie was too long half the time i was wishing it was over already lol

[ninskimig123]

"I sing you to me" Nuuuh

[claynate]

they shouldnt hav had the nicole kidman & hugh jackman characters in this movie

[Lowhan781]

You talk about Darwin air raid.

The Japanese armed forces fought against the Allied Forces.

They did an air raid of a part of Darwin,

but did not do the mainland landing.

But in this movie, the Japanese armed forces

take aborigines, and there is Sheen to murder.

It is a forgery of the history.

It is the disgusting history of Australians,

but Japan has nothing to do with the slaughter.

[megzyt]

Learn your history Lowhan. Aussies don't deny their wrong doing, niether do Japan, you cant speak for Japan when you are so uneducated. If you knew your history, Japanese had plans for mass graves when for when they would invaded and kill all the aboriginals. But they didn't succeed. The ozzies messed up but at least we say sorry. Your an idiot! You don't live here, we try to reconcile in Oz, u dont understand. You are the one throwing around racial discrimination. Learn english, your insulting

[kbowk2]

Saying sorry made it all good.  You asked around did you? Well I'll be.

[kazuueda2008jp]

Australian killed　aborigines!

[Sean117Ply]

no the british did

[AliciaFS]

I absolutely loved this movie. It was beautiful viewing, beautiful music, exciting, happy, funny, sad, and had wonderful acting by the lead roles. I think Nicole Kidman is so awesome. I would definately see this movie again, no matter how long it is. I don't care about how long a movie is. I just care if it's good or not.

[Lowhan781]

There was not the white man in the Australian Continent first.

In fact, they invaded the continent.

Why do you charge a Japanese with the crime?

Racial discrimination is right this.

[cliffordcooper]

Are you guys all Australians!?

this film is extremely distorting the real history, putting all blame on Japanese what white people did to native people...

Educate, educate, educate!!

[bellimbopinni]

You 'cliffordcooper', need to remember the atrocities done by the Japanese in China.

You must be educated, educated, educated!!

And remember rule#1. Always see a movie first before making stupid comments.

[KappamakiNo1]

we don't deny japan's wrong doing in the past

just quit exaggerate

[Lowhan781]

Ha ha　ha

Does Australia think you to be China?

Japanese to have invaded the American Continent?

Japanese to have sold a black as a slave?

white man to have slaughtered the innocent aborigines in large quantities.

A Japanese is unrelated.

[bellimbopinni]

Please learn english more because your comment was incomprehensible. Yes white man killed aborigines but you exagerate. I know because i am aborigine. White man in the past was bad but Japanese was far far worse!

[Lowhan781]

The Japanese armed forces do not strike Australia.

This is a forgery of the history by the Australians.

This movie racial discrimination against a Japanese. Europe that did colonization of Asian countries.

Is only Japan bad?

[toddmac1992]

japanese forces do not strike australia?

umm, pretty sure darwin got heavily bombed a couple times

check your history book

[TheErroneousOne]

Reading a british/american history book is not going to give you a correct answer, period.

[kbowk2]

This is true. The Japanese just came over for a visit, have a swim, take some pics, buy some t-shits of emus giving a thumbs up. Invasion no never.

[claynate]

i dont think the japanese worse than whiteman, they werent the ones who took the continent and caused the stolen generations. asians (like everone) have suffered from the whiteman too

[bellimbopinni]

'claynate' do you know what race I am?....and have you actually seen the film?

[claynate]

i have seen the film. but wasnt the japenese part kinda innacurate. i thought they never made it past new guinea.

i respect the aboriginals greatly.

i am disapointed to b white

[TheErroneousOne]

The "white" man was also responsible for 90% of the entire world's technological advancements in the last 200 years.

I can't figure out whether you are lost, confused, or depressed, "claynate". You being disappointed with who you are based on the color of your skin is stereotyping yourself... which is nonsense.

You should also respect everybody equally until they give you reason not to - modern aboriginals share none of the values that past aboriginals did, especially native-american.

[claynate]

technology is ruining mankind, theErroneousOne

[TheErroneousOne]

I would rather have machines to put up steel building structures rather than having countless human lives lost trying to do it themselves.

[claynate]

u dont need steel buliding structures

no one does

[TheErroneousOne]

Okay, how about another example:

Your child is sick with pneumonia, the only cure for such a disease is real antibiotics which in your world would not exist.

The underlying point here is that a few hundred years ago when there was no "technology" thousands of people were dying from disease every day.

There is a reason that we structure our lives using technology rather than being as dumb and mislead as we were hundreds of years ago.

[jamesbest92]

i do :)

[kbowk2]

Huh?

[kbowk2]

I broke the dam.

[AbitaVets]

thanks manny

AbitaVets

[agenteles]

The first hour is so pathetically slow and boring I walked out.

[ozzykiwi1]

This film was on the streets of Bangkok a fortnight after its release, selling for 100 baht and anyone with brains would know thats fuck all. Thats where it belongs in the $2 bin

[koky5150]

lol what a douchelooking guy

[mdelar]

Ouch lol...now that you got that out of the way, let's talk about the film! Thanks for watching as always! Manny

[payyon393]

can any1 tell me the name of the song at the end of the movie thanks

[jamilaaa18]

I've seen this movie today and it's the best movie i've ever seen. even better than Titanic.

The critics speak negatively about Nicole Kidman, but I really think she was and still is the best choice for the ''Misus Bosus''

Hugh Jackman was ofcourse as always playing a fantastic role, so was the funny and sweet Nullah.

I absolutely adore this movie!!!

#1

[kbowk2]

Titanic Was good???? You must be a chick. It's a horror film. All the guys die.

[jamilaaa18]

that's what i loved about it hihi

[librablonde]

This film was excellent, don't believe the critics. I've just seen it and am still buzzing from the enormity of the story, the spectacle, it was moving, it was funny. Yes, there were super corny moments and every possible Aussie cliche was displayed, but it's different when the film maker clearly means it to be a corny cliche. I was born and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory, and I thought this film was excellent. I want to pay my good money to see it again. Go see it :)

[partypadraic]

I loved this movie!!

I didn't find it too long either, I really felt engaged through the whole thing...

Beautiful movie!!

Can't wait for the DVD!!

[kalamitijane123]

rendez aux aborigenes leurs terres!!! voleurs!!

[ninskimig123]

i Would give it a million wizard of oz kisses:) It's my favorite movie:) Better than star wars (Sorry george lucas) :) I wan't to see it again:) but i can't :( Or maybe:)

[gothenburgchick]

I loved, loved, loved the movie! have already seen it twice and iäm going to see it once more. it was incredible and you didn't even notice the length of the movie.

seriously, is has become my favorit movie =) haven't seen movies like this in a long time.

[Grogan1988]

im tired of everyone calling it long when its not any longer than movies like ben hur, gone with the wind, LOTR, Titanic!

can't u babies sit still for just under 3 hours?

i think 1 person called it long and everyone else has just jumped on the banwagon!

Australia is a brilliant movie!

and so is the country itself :)

[JessLim18]

i agree, why do ppl call it long? its not that bad, seeing that its a GOOD movie, what's wrong with it being long?

[shadowoftheday666]

i just saw it today. it was like any other romantic film but it was way too long which i think killed it

[jodienas]

I loved this movie it made me cry three times

[minirosie]

i saw it 3 times too! It is amazing! I can't wait to see it again!

[ReviewDude94]

I saw it today and I must say I loved it. It was so amazing.

[Africa2Unite]

I just watched it and I will say it is the best movie of the year specialy the cinematrography.

[HereWithYoudotcom]

Great review Manny.

I love Nicole Kidman. I will see that one. :)

Pººhßear

[billybobcheese101]

nice review Manny, i heard it might be nominated for best film in the oscars, do you think it should win?

[mdelar]

Ooooh, it's a bit early to tell, but so far? My favorite films have been THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, FROST/NIXON, MILK, THE DARK KNIGHT...so the jury's still out :)

Thanks, and have a great Thanksgiving!

Manny

[ReviewDude94]

I can't wait too see this movie! It is being incredibly hyped over here, more than any film ever.

[mdelar]

Well...it's Baz Luhrmann's homage to your homeland :) And that's commendable, plus, it's nice to know the story of the "stolen generation" kids... Manny

[orange518]

Oh nice I am a fan of Hugh Jackman, I will have to check this out. Thanks for the review Manny and have a good thanksgiving.

[mdelar]

You too, have a great Thanksgiving! Manny
