Mikes View "Australia"

So me and jess went and saw the movie Australia directed by Baz Lurhman, starring the brilliant Hugh Jackman and the so so Nicole Kidman.

I really liked this movie a lot. It had a lot of different elements that made for a very well written movie. Hugh Jackman did an amazing job. He was clever, fun, dramatic and all in all fantastic.

I am not usually a fan of Nicole Kidman but she did a really good job in this movie. She was funny when the moment needed it and was incredible when the scenes got a little to intense.

I love the little kid who place nallah. He is just a gem.

The movie did have its downside. It is 3 hours long. After about 2 hours you just get this urge to look at your watch and ask yourself when it will end. But then it gets even better. I am not one for epics but this had me all the way through. I had to pee near the end but i just couldnt bring myself to get up and go to the bathroom because i didnt want to miss anything. Unlike jess who did have to get up and pee half an hour to the end.

If you are skeptical as it is a Baz Lurhman movie put that skepticism aside and go see this film without prejudice.

Kurt this means you. Go see it.
