Hi John,
I'm not quite sure of all the reasons for the Movie's poor reviews. and as I
mentioned, I have not viewed it myself. The reviews seem mostly to be critical
of the Movie's lack of a well developed story line, the corny plot, and the
over use of Australian cliche piled upon cliche.
I understand that the Movie does portray some discriminatory racism against the
indigenous Aboriginal people. but, it is generally accepted as true by
Australians that such bad treatment was highly prevalent at the time the Movie
was set, namely 1930's-1940's. I don't know, but perhaps this discriminatory
racism may be part of the reason for some of the discomfort that is felt by
Australians when viewing the Movie.

When I read this i was wondering if the reason the movie was not popular was
that it reminded Austrailians of a past that they want to forget.
The movie 'Sound of Music' was not like by the people of Austrea, since it
showed the people supporting the NAZI's.

Hi John,
I'm pleased you enjoyed the movie "Australia." Here, in Australia, the movie
received very poor reviews. Most reviewers regarding the story line as nothing
but a set of Australian cliches that reflect little of Australia's true
character. All reviewers agree however that the cinematography and production
were excellent.
I've not viewed the movie myself, but now that I have your recommendation, I'll
track it down on DVD.
Thanks,
John in Australia.

Hi John in Australia.

blue ray, and it has and I bought it. Good movie.
