Australia- a great movie




Jon and I just went last night to see one of the most amazing movies! It is the movie "Australia" with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. It is basically about the North part of Australia during WW II - - though only a small portion of the movie contains war related battles, etc. It wasn't too violent (there was some violence, but well handled)- and it wasn't depressing at all (which I was worried about). In fact, it was one of those movies you walk out of the theater "full" - it was very emotional and uplifting - romantic, exciting (be ready for some cattle droving and fighting an evil takover plot!), and very emotional (a main theme of the movie is about a half Aborigine child who will steal your heart). . . It is a really long movie- almost 3 hours, but I was sad to see it end! It didn't feel too long, like other long epic movies often do. I don't want to give any more of the plot away - - just know this is a must see!

That sounds like a great movie. I'd love to see it. Glad you and Jon got a chance to go out and have a real date!

I wanted to see that one so badly but never made it and now it's not at the theater. Darn. I'll put it on my netflix :)
