Finally seeing more movies that embrace an honest telling of Australia’s past. This movie has great cinematography and acting. It’s worth mentioning this movie was partly funded by a body of the Australian Federal Government and that’s good sign of support
Jacob Jr Nayinggul was so good in this! Simon Baker and everyone else as well, respectively, but wow, for a first time actor, he went in on every shot. If he continues a career in acting, I wish this yapa (brother) all the best.
🙂 tears and goosebumps!!! The film worked for me, definitely worth seeing on the big screen, from birds, wind through the trees and song and clap sticks i could close my eyes and nearly feel the heat off the flood plains.
@undeadkid101 101 do you want to know how long it took me to find out his name? About as long as it took me to type this. So yeah, calling out the OP for being lazy, and I just think that’s typical. Australians are pretty much like that, especially when it comes to indigenous people. I don’t give a toss how condescending you think I am
Just started watching this. My heart beating furiously already. But I will give it a go! How awful these special people have been treated.. Bless em all. Amen .
Awesome! Also can we show some awesome respect to Jack Thompson who also goes on Dialysis and still pushed through the rebound tired feeling and on the Top End climate to perform splendidly
The truth of what happened in this country has risen as if out of the earth into my bones over time. It’s horrific in it’s detail, worse than any horror film. To make it right will be to change a culture, from one that uses and exploits to one that respects and protects.
Australia is founded on violent and brutal racism. First nation people were not even considered people let alone citizens in their own country until, THEIR LAND until 1968. We white (Europeans) and other assorted immigrants are in complete denial about this, it's simply too painful and mind bending to process. We accuse South Africa and the United States of racism......wait there....ask the Indians about British racism....
@@filiplikar lol how far ahead in age did we bring the aboriginals, literally from the stone age to the industrial age, don' t get me wrong , what happened was horrible, but if europeans hadn't of settled here, then they would either be completely eradicated by another people or be as worse off as Africa, not trying to sound racist just being truthful.
@@kylejohnston5007 Don't try to make out as if genocide was a good thing and had any positive effects on the indigenous people here. The fact you have to disclaim you aren't trying to sound racist proves enough points. Go educate yourself, this sort of ignorance is embarrassing.
@@user-jy9rq8nj7q also the "not trying to sound racist" part was towards africa ya mong, bc i was calling out that Africa is a shithole and that i was being truthful on the fact that aboriginals would've been worse off minus the metal workings of the African tribes
@@user-jy9rq8nj7q you are taught in au schools from when you start until grade 8 on the matter, they had been stuck in the early stone age for their entire existence of 60,000 to 120,000 years (due to the lack of trade is the main argument in school). Now tell me, would they be as educated, have as many opportunities, vaccines, healthcare, rights or protection? all of this came about from the settling of au where we forced them into our "world", lost generation, a stupid amount of racist immoral stuff, but at the end of the day, we have aboriginal kids getting through highschool with flying marks, getting into college and uni (and also the use of the wheel, metal and handles), in fact I'm even dating a girl who is part aboriginal and she COMPLETELY AGREES with me funnily enough. Australia is a nation where we have a mixed history that started off bad, but it laid down the ground works for this great nation where everyone is treated equal, with equal opportunities, the thing that we pushed for along with our aboriginal brethren. Go educate yourself, this sort of ignorance is embarrassing.
I love it when people outside of Australia watch Australian movies and think the acting is superb :) Funnily enough, we're just THAT chill, everything comes naturally when we get to be ourselves ;) Don't believe me? Watch movies like 'The Loved Ones', 'Rogue', 'Candy', 'Snowtown', or 'Outlaws'. You'll find the acting to be so natural, you'll look at so many American movies in such a different manner - your bar of expectation will rise. Good luck :)
I'll watch it at home. Looks like it is focused on a relatively brief period of the place called Australia. Must have been a lot happen before European period - nothing bad of course. No injustice of any kind to either man or animal.
@undeadkid101 101 I agree if the Spanish turned up here it would have been alot different. The Dutch trading in the islands north of Australia tried to trade with the W.A. & N.T. aboriginals but were sent packing with a hail of spears. Most shipwrecked sailors on the coast of W.A were killed by the local aboriginals. Who had a no boat people policy.

I'm glad they made this movie because all aboriginals australians need more support and recognition to all the hard work and blood sweat and tears to make historical movies like this ❤💛🖤👑🌿✊🏾🪶🪽🌾🌴🪴🌎🏝🌊💯☝🏿🇭🇲

I was gonna say that but that cured my sadness.

As a prequel memer and a Mentalist fan: this is where the fun begins

This movie was bloody intense and I highly recommend it!

absolutely brilliant a true Australian masterpiece …. Simon Baker & that young indigenous man outstanding performances
His name is Jacob Junior Nayinggul. You’re on the Internet, you could show a little courtesy and make the effort to look it up.
Thank you Rich.

I hope this gets released in the U.S. Looks like a good movie and I'd really like to be able to watch it.
Not sure about the likelihood of that happening. Australia’s movie industry is very small. I hope you get the chance to see it
well theres always the other option...

Was hesitant to see this one, but after all the praise in the comments, I think I'll have to give it a go.
This is a great film with an outstanding cast source this out to see it as one of the best Australian films in the making .

Still no real justice for Aboriginals in Australia in 2020.

This could be very confronting for some white Australians, European colonisation was barbaric - great to see the story told.
