Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)

Very disappointing...

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It sucks and is poorly done with bad actors with a week story i don't see how any one could like this trash. The creators have done a lazy job at this and they can die in a hole.This gay movie is so bad i threw a brick at the TV,it is a trash film and i would rather watch a naked old hobo swim in a massive can of beans

Rabbit-Proof Fence is an Australian drama film directed by Phillip Noyce in 2002 and based on the true story of the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. The film brings attention to the Stolen Generations, the children who were removed from their families by the Australian Federal and State government agencies and church missions. The issue is still very controversial in Australia, despite the fact that on the 13th of February 2008 Kevin Rudd presented the apology to Indigenous Australians. The film follows the journey of three Aboriginal girls who were taken from their home and as they run away from the authorities, they follow the Australian rabbit proof fence on foot for 1500 miles. The film if very powerful, it shows the Australian wilderness, the rough landscape of the desert, and the way in which the three girls struggle to survive and get home. Not only is it well made, but also tells a very important story, which still affects the lives of thousands of people in Australia. It is highly recommended for people of all ages and all nationalities as the story is universal speaking of one type of people believing to be superior to others and trying to impose their rules and culture on to those they find inferior, believing they they will do them a favour and therefore they should be grateful rather than try to fight it. I believe that this part of history should be brought into light and discussed, and not hidden and forgotten. I, myself, found it educational as well as moving and touching, because it somehow reminded me of Natzi Germany and the fact that history may repeat itself if we are not careful.

The film is based on a true story, and was made in 2002. It takes place in Australia, and is about the children who were taken away from their families, which is called the lost generation. Phillip Noyce was directing the movie and Everlyn Sampi was playing the lead as Molly Craig.The Movie is about Molly Craig, her little sister and her cousin. They are half cast children and live with their families. One day, a car arrives where they live, by the rabbit proof fence. The children try to escape, but the man takes them into his car and abduct them to Moore River 1500 miles away. There they meet other half cast children who also has been taken away from their families. One morning Molly and the two other girls, decides to escape from Moore River, while everyone is in church. They run into the woods and starts their long trip back home. The evening this day, the people at Moore River discovers that they are gone. Soon they have a professional aboriginal tracker, and a police patrol hunting for them.I think the film was good. It was well made, and it tells an important story. The film is mostly about the tree girls walking across the country to get back to their tribe. But the film tells an important story of a shameful part of Australian history. So it's well worth watching.

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.
