Review of the movie Australia. Baz Luhrmann tried to kill Nicole Kidman again
In the enchanting Moulin Rouge Nicole Kidman began to sing. Scolded by critics for her musical endeavor, in Australia her heroine refuses to sing (only hums the melody almost without words). But a little hero, a boy – mulatto Nalla, humming the immortal “ Somewhere over the rainbow ” and shamanic songs dedicated to every phenomenon on earth, bathed in the power of their melodies. Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) comes to Australia. She is sure that her husband is not engaged in crossing thoroughbred horses, but in entertainment with black aboriginal women. Assigned by her husband, Drover (Hugh Jackman), as a drover, she enjoys a five-day trip to her Faraway Downs farm. Dry Land, Natives and Their Laws of Survival, Dry Drover – but she didn't come for long. Ashley wants to find out why she and her husband cannot sell the farm: she needs money, and this land is not; the last property you can make money on. But her husband meets her coldly ... rather, quite cold: he was killed. Null's boy, half-breed – mulatto, sees Lady Boss as a savior and soon reveals to her the secret of the collapse of the farm. This is how part one begins – the road to Darwin. Now the heroes, who suddenly began to see the injustice surrounding them (the livestock of the Ashley family was shamelessly stolen), must overtake 1,500 heads of fattened bulls. Temporarily abandoning jokes about gender and race, Lady Ashley and Nalla, bringing in different-sex and racial servants, led by Drover, drive the herd across the lifeless northern part of the continent. Losing the lives of their assistants, but keeping the number of livestock, they slowly walk to the coast. Landscapes – truly the most beautiful part of this long story. The main purpose of the first part of the picture is - this is an explanation of the Sara-Nall-Drover trinity relationship. Nicole Kidman seemed to be out of her element: she tries to play emotions, but it turns out more of a parody of them. Perhaps these are the consequences of cosmetic operations, but she is more often distinguished by the grace of her radiant pale skin than by the veracity of her role. As if playing a contrasting backdrop for Hugh Jackman, who is in such great shape that it begins to seem like 'Australia' for him, it’s a transitional project that closes the window between movieing in X-Men. The second part – arrival & laquo; Japs. More recently, Pearl Harbor has been crushed and Darwin is militarized. The local elite are going to evacuate, the rats are fleeing from the sinking ship. Ashley at this time is trying to get the right to adopt Nalla. But the boy without race must go with the missionaries, he belongs to the `` lost generation '' (For almost a century children – mulattoes were taken from their parents and protected from communication with pure aborigines and pure whites). The question is whether death this time will separate the lovers in Baz Luhrmann's movie epic. Although for the director himself in this large-scale story about the relationship between a society lady and a drover, about lost generations, about the fate of the continent during the Second World War, about the war of pastoralists for monopoly, Australia itself was important. More than two hours of screen time is a story that has grown to the scale of a literary classic of the 19th century: filled with many small events, told from the perspective of a boy, in which the main characters look like minor ones, and the minor ones are like minor ones. unexpectedly overshadow the main ones.
