A great love story, the birth of a nation and landscape photographs of never-seen dimensions: One can well imagine what Baz Luhrmann in mind might have been when he was many years ago to work making his country a cinematic monument to it.
A mixture of the Bürgerkriegsepos "Gone With the Wind" (1939) and the Australia-Western "The infinite horizon" (1960), it should probably be? here loved the heroes before a glowing red flames in the nation, then we drove the cattle through the seemingly limitless Outback of the fifth continent and grew up together at the campfire.
Big, bigger, "Australia"? the mag five years ago, the format has been set for Luhrmann, who in the U.S. through films such as the disco operetta "Moulin Rouge!" kassenträchtigsten one of the directors of the world had become and now his beer, and rock wool exporting home country in great style on the cinema map articulation wanted.
Then came the Australian Tourism Authority comes into play. The care with tax breaks worth millions while shooting for a comfortable financial environment, but apparently also had one or the other idea how to learn in Luhrmann epic to the applicant country to potential visitors could be attractive.
As a mixture of "Gone With the Wind" and "Endless Horizon", the film is now sadly no longer enough. Rather like a brute genre Bastard from the Weltkriegsschmonzette "Pearl Harbor" and the Dummbatzklamauk "Crocodile Dundee". With little sensitive irony here is again the usual stereotypes of boys biersaufenden widespread nature, while the war scenes to the type of big Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer as a digital stunt storms come along.
The Durchdigitalisierung of the images is actually a serious problem. Sure, you can not have more like Hollywood mogul David O. Selznick for "Gone With the Wind" a wooden backdrop city in flames, so that before the night horizon this very special, dangerous glowing red clay can spread the passion of the protagonists once again extra fired.

An aquarium has more depth than this movie.
That is but as it is probably actually in "Australia" go as you are in an area claimed that the largely free of natural, legal and civilizational boundaries is.
These freedoms must be based on an English upper-class lady in 1939 as the greatest threat of course work. No wonder then that Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman), in its stiff khaki-dress as a one-woman army colonial occurs around the hostile terrain to explore. Actually, they only wanted her husband back from the cattle on the beautiful island home to Europe's pick. But one opponent has the husband's murder, so that the British here in the north of the Australian Nirgendwo themselves into the flesh of the deceased to enter business does.
KINO-PLANERDPAIhr Cinema: What is where and when - the blogs ONLINE planners for the whole of Germany ... With a stern hail good accountant, a Chinese cook, a sweet mixed Aboriginal and pretty, but untamed backwoodsmen Drover (Hugh Jackman) tries Lady Ashley the impossible: the cattle into the many hundreds of miles away to drive the port town, where the British navy at the beginning of World War II is ready, a lot of money for fresh protein-rich diet soldiers spend.
Until the squad to a group of funny quasifamiliären meeting may take up, however, some adventure to exist: There must unleashed the herd before the fall into a ravine will be preserved, as must the infernal night of the Japanese attack on the northern Australian mainland survived, and since also has the little mongrel boy from the clutches of Christian missionaries rescued, his instincts with his Native American prayers and songs to drive out.
AUSTRALIA (USA / AUSTRALIA 2008) Director: Baz LuhrmannDrehbuch: Baz Luhrmann, Ronald Harwood, Stuart Beattie, Richard FlanaganDarsteller: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, Bryan Brown, Jack Thompson, David Gulpilil, Brandon Walter Production: Bazmark Films, Twentieth Century - FoxVerleih: Twentieth Century FoxLaufzeit: 166 minutes Start: 25 December 2008offizielle WebsiteAn this point now is growing that this very weak adventure film for concern Esoterik-out kitsch. This year, the Australian government already officially in the natives of the country for the robbery and the Christianization of young Aborigines excused? a re-education, which are still up in the seventies of the last century was practiced. "Australia", by government agencies and supports blessing, now acts as an extension sought the official recognition of Aboriginal culture in the fictional universe.
The problem: director Luhrmann's film operates in the up a Naturmystizismus to whom he himself apparently is not willing to believe. Like a bolt from the sky is clear, therefore, whenever it will fire again, the grandfather of the boy (David Gulpilil, known from the ethno-classic "Walkabout", 1971) unmotivated on one leg in the center of action to the grandson and his white Fellowship with magic tricks to protect. A truly repellent postcolonial Gönnertum makes so wide in history: Supposedly this is politically correct ethno-hocus-pocus ascended without him aesthetically and socio seriously execute.

So what is considered a Einigungsepos-torn nation begin immediately to non-binding Wildlife operetta. At a sort of "Moulin Rouge!" in the Australian Outback. Unfortunately, without the great music? and even appalling dance deposits: For a charity ball on the eve of the Japanese aggression must be heavily bearded drover Drover is completely depilate and in a white dinner jacket fit. And all for a pretty bleak foxtrot.
Even as a post-colonial coercive measure: Australian, where is all this out, the width of your country and the Ungezähmtheit your souls?
