Baz Luhrmann's "Australia"....NOT!Dec 23, 2008
By D. Hartley
I had just about abandoned all hope that this marvelous 1978 sleeper from Australian writer-director Fred Schepisi would ever see the light of day on DVD, until I was pleasantly surprised to see it pop up on the "new release" rack of my favorite neighborhood independent video store last month (I quickly snapped up the last copy). Adapted from Thomas Keneally's novel (which was inspired by true events) this semi-epic culture-clash tale concerns the travails of the title character, played with explosive intensity by non-professional actor Tommy Lewis. Jimmie is a half-caste Aboriginal, living in New South Wales in 1900. He struggles between the pull of his native culture and the insistence of white sponsors who want him to "do the right thing" and assimilate into "civilized" society. This is easier said than done; it seems that the harder he tries to please everyone, the more he is shunned by all. Jimmie sublimates his reaction to the enveloping systemic racism and roiling inner conflicts for too long, which eventually leads to a shocking explosion of violence. This is visceral, powerful and disturbing stuff (not for the squeamish), but well worth your time. The film makes an excellent companion piece to the more recent Rabbit-Proof Fence. The DVD includes a recent interview with Lewis.

Chant of Jimmie BlacksmithDec 25, 2010
By Alison Kirby Record
This is a very good film. Not as devastating as Rabbit Proof Fence but nonetheless a tragic testimony to the effects of racism and ethnic abuse. It does not preach but simply presents the events without obvious bias. Racism begets racism and when Jimmy has enough, his monstrous acts toward innocent white are not sanitized. But still, we see the reasons for his brutality. A superbly acted film and the Australian landscape is sspectacular.

By ronald
This film is an excellent example of the prejudice faced by the aborigine peoples of Australia and the white people who treated them much as the black people of our country were treated for so many years.
