Does anyone have a chance to find an English family in Australia, as in olden times it was a British colony. In this story, and built the new Baz Luhrmann film. In the late thirties of last century, Sarah Ashley ( Nicole Kidman ) unexpectedly receives a legacy in Australia – a ranch the size of a U.S. state. The English lady, of course, knows nothing about the cattle, and its neighbors reasoned only about how to select a hapless Englishwoman fell down on her wealth. In order to save his property, Sarah needed to fulfill the terms of the contract entered into by the previous owner with the Australian Army. All that is required – surpassing fifteen hundred head of cattle at the other end of the continent. In general, women, and even a foreigner, with such a task can not cope. And the heroine is forced to seek help from a gloomy type named Drover, who, as we soon realize is actually a decent person (no wonder it has Hugh Jackman ). Well, just out of luck in his life! The share of heroes will fall more than one adventure. It starts with the Second World War, and the city Darwin – the purpose of their journey – is being raided Japanese aircraft. But love – and without it, too, in this film will not do – all overcome. In any case, in Hollywood blockbusters.(Find more information on http://www.stylishclassic.com.)
Directed by Luhrmann, a long time working in the U.S., gained fame far from epics and musicals – such as “Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge”. And now decided to recall their roots. Knocking at the Hollywood bosses to budget $ 130 million and inspired by the paintings of David Lean – the master of epic dramas 60s (“Lawrence of Arabia” and “Doctor Zhivago”), he went to shoot the film in his native Australia. Artists, too, the Australians leading roles, so that with patriotism in the film is all right. But with the box office not so – the Americans not to others’ emotions. Probably to blame the economic crisis. In the two months rent in the U.S. film grossed only $ 50 million. It is hoped the residents of Green continent, and of course for us. Russian viewers have always affectionately referred to his ex-wife of Tom Cruise .
In the film usually is not welcome a mix of genres. It’s always a big risk – can be frustrating to miss the audience and box office. Or shoot gunman, or melodrama. Australian director Baz Luhrmann takes no such rules. Suffice it to recall its modernized version of “Romeo + Juliet” made in the genre of gangster thriller.
In the new tape with a simple name “Australia” cocktail of the four genres at once. Comedy, Westerns, romance, and military action. In a word, adventure. But it’s not “Indiana Jones”, which seems to be also present these components. “Indiana Jones” – pure fairy tale about a superhero, “Australia” – beautifully told story of the lives of real people. Albeit with a high degree of fabulousness.
The images of the characters are not new, win-win scheme. She – a pretty stiff aristocrat, he – uncouth, but charming commoner with a subtle psychic organization that turns on the course of the play. Plus and minus, of course, attract, get lavstori, in general, predictable.
On the eve of World War II English aristocrat Sarah Ashley (Kidman) inherits a ranch located in Northern Australia. But to save the fallen from the sky horned fortune, it should overtake the herd two thousand head far over the horizon, in a city of Darwin. Of course, this craft for the aristocrat is nothing new, but it’s better to hire a trained man – rough pursuer. It is desirable in the performance of indigenous Australians X. Jackman (not to be confused with J. Hackman!). And further on screenwriting plan.
Despite the obvious cliche, I would not call the film punching and puppet characters. Yes, and a budget of $ 130 million mastered correctly. The action takes place against a background of luxury and exotic species of the Green continent. Thousands of cattle, excellent computer explosions, natural blood, great costumes – we learn and learn. In general, a major spectacle. Cinema with a capital “A”.
Naturally, a good win, the bad punished, happy ending, he’s happy ending. Just like in the classic adventure novel that stands on a shelf next to Jules Verne, Jack London, Rafael Sabatini. And rightly so. Who does not want at least a couple of minutes to return to the romantic youth and imagine yourself in a lather horse with a pretty girlfriend?
Some of the actors. Both local, that is, the Australians, though, and escaped to America. We love Kidman, Jackman knew primarily on Wolverine from “X-Men” and Woody Allen pictures. Here, they look quite harmoniously. Special revelations do not wait, but for the adventure film quite edible. Not bad villain played by David Uenema, and would like to give to the person. So the boy as a boy. As always, at the height of cows and kangaroos.
Alas, in the U.S. box office movie just brought both ends meet. What is clear – there do not like movies about aliens. But we are not orthodox patriots, as they are. We are what America is that Australia, Japan. Front of the screen are all equal.
minuses from a long note timing. The film sometimes delayed, some episodes it is possible to look at the rollback. However, if you’re not in a hurry, it’s okay. Happy viewing!
