I'd just like to point out the gross inaccuracies of the movie compared to what Molly actually wrote...
For example, Maude gave up her children willingly.. They were not pried from her arms, they were simply picked up. They knew it was happening. It was better for them than being ostracized by the aboriginals. Half-caste children were not accepted by either white or aboriginal societies. The bit about one of them being promised to a full-blood is a crock of bull.
Everyone has to realise that throughout history, people, not matter what race or gender have committed crimes against humanity but we all learn from those horrible mistakes and know what is right and what is wrong.
@OceanicMetal please educate me on what they did. and dont forget to include the part that white empirilists, missionaries, and colonizers played in it. Dont hate the truth~
@LIVEMeltdown4ROCK No, they weren't given a better life, they given to white families to 'breed the black out of them'. Do not make comments on something you know nothing about...
Wow...human beings are really evil sometimes. Love the guy in the blue coat waving the paper in their mother'sface like its supposed to mean something to her. Like she's supposed to say "Oh, you've got it in writing? Well then, by all means!"
i think they should make a film about the aboriginals in Tasmania, who were just slaughtered as an attempt of completely eradicating them. so shocking, yet hardly anyone knows about it
@danleafboy What the fuck? How can you laugh at something like this? Maybe we should take your children or family away and see how you think it's funny then!
There needs 2b some famous Aboriginal people& White Australians need 2face up2 how segregated Australia is and how racist it has been and still is.
White English people keep wanting 2move over there-I guess they dont care about Racism?
thats the first thing I think of when I think of Australia 'Racism' Australia is just like South Africa but South Africa called what they did The Apartheid, The Australians never bothered to give it name the just continued to abuse and exclude Aboriginal people
My white ancestors were burnt at the stake in Europe by the Roman Catholics and escaped to America.
George W. Bush blew the faces, arms and legs off of hundreds of thousands of children in Iraq with bombs. Half of Americans voted for this. They make excuses and don't repent.
There have always been sick and evil people, and the world allows it. I'm waiting for God to intervene and stop evil. May evil people all burn in hell, starting with George Bush.
Maddie was abducted May 3rd 2007 in Portugal.She is just five years old. Please if you have any information call +44 845 838 4699 now. Go to my youtube channel for pictures and more info.
My heart bleeds (no hint of sarcasm intended) .They do this then they cover it up and pretend like it didnt happen, thery kidnaspped my ancestors from west africa stole them just like this and took to a whole new land they called Jamaica. They did this with Native Americans this is how they made Brazil. my god theres somethin so sick about openly doing this to people in their own land. Poor evil....(I've heard them mention anythin to do with this on Home and Away and Neighbours)Racist Murderers
yeah, alot of people don't know about the Australian Aborigines. I showed my friends a pic of one and he said "what is that?", because of their features.
The African Diaspora stemming from the slave trade in the 15th century occurred throughout the Caribbean & South America. This includes Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago, Virgin Isl., Mexico,Venezuela,Belize,Guatemala, Chile,Equador... Basically, All of Central & South America plus the Caribbean.
we learn about the stolen generation at schools, starting from a very young age. in no way does australia try to hide the stolen generation and that part of our history, i can pretty much guarantee you that every child watches this movie in school as part of their learning too. you need to stop making such generalised and ignorant comments on something you obviously dont know much about.
Ok Gemma australia hasnt got any problems with Racism
Australian Fashion industry readilly use Aboriginal (& non-white) models in every fashion magazine and catwalk
White beauty isnt seen as superior in Oz
Theres been loads of non-white Prime Ministers of Australia
Many White Australians dont view whiteness as being superior to every other race.
Every Australian outside the the Hey Hey its Saturday studio thinks that that Michael Jackson tribute the Jackson Jive was entirely racist and ignorant
you dont even live in australia so how can you make statements like that?? stuff to do with australias views on beauty, how would you know? you are neither australian, nor live in australia therefore you are in no position to represent an australian opinion. you are quite possibly the most ignorant uninformed person i have ever come across on youtube, and thats a pretty impressive feat.
@Applebaum Far out, I am aboriginal and everyday I get treated like shit because I'm black...do you really wanna say Australians aren't racist? Try being an aborginal....and yes, the micheal jackson tribute was totally racist and ignorant and an insult to MJ's memory...
@tina2deadly Where abouts in Australia do you live? Cause I've been to Queensland and the bogans there treat everyone that doesn't look like them like absolute garbage. In Melbourne however, everyone at my school reckons aboriginals are awesome apart from one guy whos grandfather was murdered by one but ANYWAY, I paid almost 800 bucks to go stay at an aboriginal boarding school up in Queensland and they were so nice and now I'm friends with one and we e-mail eachother all the time.
true true.. cept it happens even today. alot of kids are taken away from their homes due to the inability of the parents to take of them.. this time its true.. but ironically, just like 50 odd years ago, the rhetoric is the same. but we must understand, the inability, of society.. to assimilate with these people, in the last century, is the fault of not a generation, but generations.
@gemma1507 I learnt about this too, but through my family. I am aboriginal and my family were taken...I can see the pain in my grandparents eyes and in my anuts and uncles...they went through so much and yet we have people on this site treating them like shit...thank you for sticking up for us...
The taking of children from there homes was a policy seen in the United States also. For over 100 years Native American children were taken from there families under the guise of " the welfare of the child". This is a common practice to enforce assimilation, under the cover of racial superiority. Thousands of children were taken from Tasmania, some never found there way back.
im aussie but i know little of Australian history, euro-american military/govt intervene with churchs and sciencists on natives- on its own not a problem. Against free will = Problem. Baz Luhrmann (dir. of Australia) brings this out well too. Nice to see its being adressed :)
this part was really tear-jerking, I can understand why this was the hardest scene in the movie to shoot, this scene and the Apocalypto Raid Scene were probably the saddest scenes I've seen in any film!
