She was not - all the female members of my family wanted to see more of her riding, knocking the pants of the drover, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>It would not have taken much to link the stories. A little better writing, a little more control.<BR/><BR/>But it was still a great movie. I hope that Aldhis does see it - I would be very interested in a reaction from another culture.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-65422728741848549062008-12-31T14:21:00.000+11:002008-12-31T14:21:00.000+11:00Hi JimMy reaction was similar to your own.

But it did get better.<BR/>Instead of one story there seemed to be two or three stories cobbled together. <BR/>The title of the movie is pretentious. I don't think this movie captures the mythology of our heritage nearly as well as, for example, the film "Galippoli" did. <BR/>However, some of the scenery was magnificent. Our Nicole's acting wasn't as bad as some people are saying. After all, she was playing the part of a English lady. <BR/>I also feel that this is a movie experience that I will remember.<BR/>Happy New Year!Winton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-80000401367571508582008-12-31T12:07:00.000+11:002008-12-31T12:07:00.000+11:00Do see it Aldhis, and post your reactions.
