Australia THE MOVIE

So I saw the movie last night finally. With my mom. It was 2 hours and 45 minutes in its entirety. Worth every penny.

Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman both are Aussies, but Jackman was the one that played an Aussie. Kidman was English. I was happy the love story wasn't the main focus and didn't overwhelm me with sappy crap. The movie was EPIC. The soundtrack was awesome. It made horse wrangling fun and exciting. The acting was good too. The story kept going on and on but I didn't mind because I was so sucked in.

The scenery was amazing also and I loved pointing things out like the Qantas airplane. The outback was well represented and I really connected to the scenes because I'd been there. It was unlike any other movie. My brother can say he's been to a lot of the places in the Bourne movies since he went to Europe. Now I can say I've been to the outback like in this movie.

I'm so glad I got to see it. I can't wait to buy it!

I'm waiting for the DVD to come out!

I was wondering, what questions have people asked you about Australia (the country)? Because I'm trying to answer questions about Australia in my blog. :)
