3 votes "Welcome to Australia!"Epic in the truest sense, Baz Luhrmann's much-hyped Australia is a film that exhilarates with its grand themes and physical grandeur. Fundamentally the Australian response to classic war epics like Gone with the Wind and Lawrence of Arabia, Luhrmann's majestic motion picture is to date the most expensive Australian production in the country's history (with th... read more Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be.3 years, 4 months ago at Dec 26 20:05

1 vote I kept hearing that this movie was supposed to be an Australian version of 'Gone with the wind' but, in my opinion, it is more an Australian version of 'Out of Africa' but well. I must say it took them some time to find the right tone since, at the beginning the movie, the whole thing was really over-the-top and rather comical to watch. But, slowly, it gets more and more dramatic and quite epic. A... read more

 Typical Movie Complaints That Irk Me... (9 movies items)"The Typical Complaint: "This is so stupid!" (referring to cultural-specific things they just do not understand) Why That's Bullshit: I could put an array of movies on this list to address this point, but Australia deserves some love. I can't tell you how many times people have complained about the scene in which Nullah (the "African Australian" as some have called him...you know what? Your retardation is off the charts if you've used that term) prevents the stampede from going over the cliff. T"  Coby added this to a list 2 months, 1 week ago

But, slowly, it gets more and more dramatic and quite epic. And I must say you have all the elements of a good old epic : drama, romance, war, betrayal, murder, and even some some historical facts put here and there... There are some nice shots and evem though, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman are not Robert Redford and Mery Streep, they still delivered some pretty good performances.
