The film ‘Australia’ opened to the general public today. Wow what a film – fabulous scenery, excellent cinemaphotography, a great story (actually, more than one story), sad scenes (especially the row of little boy’s shoes) and best of all a great laugh. Well worth the 2 hours 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
I can’t believe that people have been whining about the ‘ocker’ accent, some people must live in highly ‘refined’ parts of Australia – I was actually expected much earthier accents. After all this was set in the far north, nearly 70 years ago. And for people to complain there were too many cliches – rubbish too.<\/p>\n
‘Australia’ is a masterpiece, go and see it on the big screen.<\/p>\n
