Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is about the aboriginal girls Gracie, Daisy and Molly, and it's a true story. They are from the "half caste" generation, also called "the stolen generation" Their home is named Jigalong and the kids in the movie were taken by force from their families, far away from Jigalong to Moon River where they are going to be taught to be servants. The girls managed to escape the camp together, and they walked all the way from Moon River to Jigalong, and they follower the rabbit proof fence. Everybody was looking for them, and they were in the newspapers every day.The minister in charge of the half-caste people was Mr. Neville. He did everything he could do to bring the girls back to the camp again, but he failed.The girls walked continuous for about 9 weeks and they had to fight through the rough landscape of Australia's desert, without food or water. Sometimes, the camera was filming like we were a crocodile crawling towards them. I liked that, because it felt like I was in the movie.What I liked about this movie was that it is a true story, and two of the girls, Molly and Daisy, are still alive. The ladies are 80 years now. But when they were younger, they were three strong girls who just wanted to go home, because they missed their families. And they managed to walk the 1500 miles to Jigalong, and that is really impressive! The actors acted very convincing. I would like to recommend this movie for people who are interested in history, and people who just like to watch a good movie.

The movie Rabbit Proof Fence is a story concerning the Stolen Generation in Australia. Very many half caste kids (one of the parents was white, and the other one, usually the mother, was aborigine) were taken by the white population in Australia by force and sent to schools or institutions that were going to train them into being white. A man called Mr. Neville, the Chief Protector of Aborigines in Western Australia, had the responsibility to decide over the aboriginal population, and from what they knew about the aborigines and the whites, it was with good intentions that they took the children away. They were supposed to mix the aborigines with the white population and eventually the aborigines would die out.This movie is a true story about how three girls, Molly, Gracie and Daisy, who were half caste children, were taken away from their mothers and put in an institution very far from where they lived. They soon made an attempt to run away, and they used a fence that stretched through the country to navigate. The fence was called a rabbit proof fence because it was there to prevent that the rabbits would ruin the agriculture on the other side. During this journey the girls always had to hide and cover their tracks. An aborigine who worked for the whites, Moodoo or "the Tracker", was following them. The oldest of the girls was Molly; she was only 14 years old.Molly, Daisy and Gracie changes throughout the movie, they are dynamic characters. What they experience makes them more grown-up. The girls' families are flat characters.The story about the three girls is true, it happened in the 1930's, and at the end of the movie, we get to hear about the real story and how it ended. Since the story is true, the creator of the film had some guiding lines to follow. The setting is put to the 1930's and the setting is very natural, most of the movie takes place in the Australian outback/desert.The most important thing about the movie is when the girls are taken away, and their journey home. The relationship between the aboriginals and the white population is something we can learn more about in this movie.I liked the movie because it is a true story about three young girls who had courage and a determination that everybody could look up to. The movie doesn't have a proper climax, and if you are a person who like when something happens in movies, this movie might not be the best choice. But I would recommend it anyway because of the historical aspect.

In this movie we get to see the true story about three aboriginal girls. They are all «half-caste» and belongs to the stolen generation. The kids were taken by force from their family and brought 1,500 miles away from their home, Jigalong, to Moon River where they were going to be taught to be servants. The girls, Molly, Daisy and Gracie managed to escape the camp and together the girls walked all the way back to Jigalong. Following only the rabbit proof fence. The girls are all over the news and everybody is looking for them to bring them back to Moon river. Mr. Neville is the man behind it all. He is the minister in charge of the half-caste people. He would do anything to bring them back to the camp again. The walk takes over 9 weeks and the girls have to go trough the rough landscape of the Australias desert. It is truly fascinating and also horrible to see the girls walk so long and with no food, or water. I really liked this movie. That is because it is a true story. Although it is a really dreadful history it is a great way to learn about what really happened in Australia so many years ago. It is a powerful story and an important movie. At the end in the movie we get to see two of the aboriginal girls that walked all the way back to Jiglalong. They are now over 80 years old and still alive. To see them on the footage was really fascinating.

Film ReviewRabbit-Proof Fence is an Australian drama film from 2002. The plot is based on a true story about three Aboriginal girls who is taken away from their mother and put in a settlement run by white men to breed out the mixed-race Aboriginals. It follows the three girls as they escape the settlement and starts on the long journey home, and are hunted by the white men who are doing everything they can to bring the three girls back to the settlement. The plot is taking place in the year 1931. The film is directed by Phillip Noyce and is based on the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara who is the daughter of the main character Molly Craig. This film does a good job of entertaining the viewer! The director has done a good job finding locations to film and placing the right music in the right place. You will see a lot of nice shots of the Australian Outback and the music really helps to build up under what is currently happening on the screen. What is a little special about this film is that it manages to keep it interesting to watch without the Hollywood use of special effects, weird camera angels or other things that would be typical for a Hollywood-film. This film is made to tell a story and so it does. And this is a good thing, because the story is strong in most ways. Though I did not get the emotions I would might expect out of a movie like this. I don't want to spoil too much for you, but I can say this: Some tragic happenings occur in the movie, and the film didn't make me feel enough for the characters to really care. I think this is much due to the acting of the main characters. Especially when it came to the character Molly, I didn't feel like she is acting like a normal 14-year old would. She is constantly dead serious and does not get emotional enough. When walking a path of 1500 miles to get home, it would sometimes seem like a normal walk in the village. Other than this, the acting is mostly good and so is the movie. I give it a score of 7 out of 10 because it is a good movie with an interesting plot and story behind it. It is a bit linear and because of this and the sometimes poor acting I do not give it a higher score.
