Australia

Baz Luhrmann's Australia which is set in northern Australia prior to World War II and centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a small cattle station. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough local stock man (Hugh Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles only to face hell lot of hurdles. Nicole kidman goes on to adopt the small boy called Nullah and what happens after that is the rest of the story.

The lanky Nicole Kidman has acted beautifully. The movie is pictured well covering the old Australian territory and country side culture. I am still wondering whether the old australian tribe people are really into sprituality and possessed some magical powers! Atleast that is what the movie portrays. This is a long movie (almost 165 minutes) and if you have some patience you will enjoy this movie and its story line. If you are impatient kinds, this movie is not for you. Overall this movie is worth watching once.



My rating: 8/10. (6 or less- Avoid, 6 t0 8 - OK types, 8 to 9 - worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)
