Welcome to Australia!
В основе сюжета положена история английской аристократки, получающей в наследство огромное ранчо на севере австралийского материка. Перед началом Второй мировой войны она приезжает в имение для того, чтобы оберечь его от попыток английских скотоводов заполучить ранчо под названием «Faraway Downs» в свою собственность, и сталкивается с необходимостью при помощи героя Джекмена перегнать 1500 голов скота через тысячи миль в город Дарвин. Там двое попадают под массированные бомбардировки со стороны японского Императорского флота.
"Australia," a 2008 epic drama directed by Baz Luhrmann and produced by Bazmark and 20th Century Fox, transports audiences to the rugged and breathtaking landscapes of the Australian Outback. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the film weaves a compelling narrative of love, resilience, and cultural clash. The story follows Lady Sarah Ashley, portrayed by Nicole Kidman, an English aristocrat who journeys to Australia to sell her late husband's cattle ranch. Upon arrival, she encounters the rugged Drover, played by Hugh Jackman, and together they embark on a perilous cattle drive to save the ranch from a ruthless businessman. The film's rich tapestry is further enhanced by the inclusion of a young Aboriginal boy named Nullah, played by newcomer Brandon Walters. Nullah's presence introduces the audience to the harsh realities of the Stolen Generations, a dark chapter in Australian history where Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families. Through Nullah's eyes, "Australia" delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for justice, adding a poignant layer to the sweeping romance and adventure. Baz Luhrmann's signature flamboyant style is evident in the film's grandiose visuals and dynamic storytelling. From the sweeping aerial shots of the Outback to the meticulously choreographed cattle drive sequences, "Australia" is a visual feast that captures the essence of the land and its people. The film's score, composed by David Hirschfelder, complements the epic nature of the story, enhancing the emotional depth of the characters' journeys. Despite mixed critical reception upon its release, "Australia" has garnered a dedicated following for its ambitious scope and heartfelt storytelling. The film not only serves as a romantic epic but also as a poignant social commentary, making it a unique entry in Luhrmann's oeuvre. With its blend of historical drama, cultural exploration, and cinematic grandeur, "Australia" remains a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring spirit of its characters.
