Plot: Set against the scenic backdrop of pre-World War II Australia, Baz Luhrmann's romantic period adventure stars Nicole Kidman as an English aristocrat who inherits a sprawling ranch, and Hugh Jackman as the rough-and-tumble cattle driver who helps protect her property from greedy English cattle barons. As the pair attempt to herd 2,000 head of cattle hundreds of miles across the treacherous Australian outback, they are stunned to bear witness to the bombing of Darwin by Japanese forces -- who just a few months prior launched a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

AFFAIR.

Australia - movie

Good movie, Longer than some but that gives it time to develop the story line and people.
Historically, very accurate.

Truly Wonderful Movie
Added 11/16/2009

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I've watched it 3 times (so far), and each time I have a new 'ah-ha' moment. Hugh Jaxman isn't hard on the eyes either ¢¾. I highly recommend this movie.

A divided film
Added 11/15/2009

While Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are billed as the main characters, the story actually centers around and is told from the perspective of a half white-half aboriginal boy named Nullah. He brings the lead characters to life, giving them purpose and heart. Of course, there are villains--no good story is complete without them--and they are a driving force behind the plot and storyline. But the life of the movie are the unlikely trio who find a family and sense of belonging with each other. However, I cannot quite make up my mind about this film. It really seemed like it was done by two different directors. The first half of the film was light, quirky and relied much too heavily on computer enhancements to naturally breathtaking landscapes. Through the entire first half of the film, I could not believe that this was the grand, dramatic epic that was raved about. But, over an hour into it, the picture finally hits its stride and becomes a sweeping epic--the characters gain depth, the story has heart and Australia comes to life. Overall, while the film most definitely could have been improved in the first half, it was worth sitting through and the almost three hours passed quickly.
