Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

hjisr The film is representative of what has happened wherever people from England throughout history have gone around the globe and thought the indigenous humans weren't maximizing it's use and had less technologically advanced weapons. I live in America and the same thing happened here to the American Indians,(English label), almost a duplicate set of historical circumstances. The people that England sent were of less than first class citizens, indentured servants, outright criminals in both places, only Australia was used initially as a PENAL COLONY for some of the worst dregs that England had at home. They eventually turned those dregs loose on the Aborigines in an eradication program with promises of a livelihood and property. This was the seed humans that England populated Australia with so I can see all of the sorry things that occurred since then being in line with America's sorry history. I have read comments from the Australian and England inputs and they vary greatly but the lack of knowledge in the actual English and Australian history is remarkable. Where did the half caste children come from? Again as in the history of the Caucasian male he wants to have access to all females while going as far as murder to restrict access to what he considers his own females. Take all of this and the movie still cannot reach the levels of all that has been done to people on this planet in the name of progress. This film has merely touched on the inhumanity of people on this planet. All films could be better but to keep it as factual as possible sometimes leave something to be desired in the embellishments.

paulinapiat Rabbit-Proof Fence is an Australian drama film directed by Phillip Noyce in 2002 and based on the true story of the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. The film brings attention to the Stolen Generations, the children who were removed from their families by the Australian Federal and State government agencies and church missions. The issue is still very controversial in Australia, despite the fact that on the 13th of February 2008 Kevin Rudd presented the apology to Indigenous Australians. The film follows the journey of three Aboriginal girls who were taken from their home and as they run away from the authorities, they follow the Australian rabbit proof fence on foot for 1500 miles. The film if very powerful, it shows the Australian wilderness, the rough landscape of the desert, and the way in which the three girls struggle to survive and get home. Not only is it well made, but also tells a very important story, which still affects the lives of thousands of people in Australia. It is highly recommended for people of all ages and all nationalities as the story is universal speaking of one type of people believing to be superior to others and trying to impose their rules and culture on to those they find inferior, believing they they will do them a favour and therefore they should be grateful rather than try to fight it. I believe that this part of history should be brought into light and discussed, and not hidden and forgotten. I, myself, found it educational as well as moving and touching, because it somehow reminded me of Natzi Germany and the fact that history may repeat itself if we are not careful.

WakenPayne This is in my opinion the best Aussie drama to hit any of the screens. I decided to take a look at this because I hate the Australian's over-usage of comedy films and feel-good films (basically all the Australian films that get any recognition here) and decided that I wanted a change of pace, something that knows what it is and doesn't fit into the categories above at any point. My first stop was this movie.Basically this movie is about The Stolen Generation, a rather forgotten chapter in our history despite it ending in the 1970's. It's where the Australian government took half-aboriginal children away from their homes so they could never be seen again by their parents, they grow up and marry a white family and then by the third generation in that family they're white.This focuses on three children who were a part of the stolen generation and decided to walk to their homes, which happens to be on the other side of the country. The one thing they do know about it is that in the area there is a rabbit-proof fence of which they'll follow back to their homes.I liked this film a lot, it is such a refreshing change of pace in comparison with the comedies and feel-good movies being made. I would recommend this to anybody who wants a refreshing change of pace in the Australian film industry.

elin-bronstad This movie is about the aboriginal girls Gracie, Daisy and Molly, and it's a true story. They are from the "half caste" generation, also called "the stolen generation" Their home is named Jigalong and the kids in the movie were taken by force from their families, far away from Jigalong to Moon River where they are going to be taught to be servants. The girls managed to escape the camp together, and they walked all the way from Moon River to Jigalong, and they follower the rabbit proof fence. Everybody was looking for them, and they were in the newspapers every day.The minister in charge of the half-caste people was Mr. Neville. He did everything he could do to bring the girls back to the camp again, but he failed.The girls walked continuous for about 9 weeks and they had to fight through the rough landscape of Australia's desert, without food or water. Sometimes, the camera was filming like we were a crocodile crawling towards them. I liked that, because it felt like I was in the movie.What I liked about this movie was that it is a true story, and two of the girls, Molly and Daisy, are still alive. The ladies are 80 years now. But when they were younger, they were three strong girls who just wanted to go home, because they missed their families. And they managed to walk the 1500 miles to Jigalong, and that is really impressive! The actors acted very convincing. I would like to recommend this movie for people who are interested in history, and people who just like to watch a good movie.
