Movie Review: Australia

My mum and I have just arrived home after going to see this. We both absolutely loved it and can't understand why it has been overlooked for the major awards.

It is beautifully shot and a wonderful storyline. The only downside was we didn't get to see enough of Hugh's body!! Yum!!

Plot: A romantic action-adventure set in northern Australia prior to World War II, AUSTRALIA centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Jackman) to drive 2000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.
