Australia

WOW! I've seen so many movies in my life. I know everything there is to know about them. However, there is rarely a time where I am blown away by every concept of a movie. A good movie has action, suspense, romance, drama, and it adds to the experience when a character has to look inside themselves to examine their problems. Australia had all of these things and it sure came together to make an amazing movie. This is up there with Dark Knight and other great movies of our time. This epic, love story takes place back in1939 during World War II when Japan is preparing to attack the shores of Australia. After finding her husband, the owner of a cattle herding company, murdered, a rich, English woman(Nicole Kidman) meets a cattle herder(Hugh Jackman) who helps her attempt to beat out a rival cattle company in hopes of saving the business. The movie also deals with themes of racism and how people acted toward Aborigines and African Australians even after the Japanese attacked them. The many different kinds of scenery was wonderful to look at. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. 10 out of 10.
