Continental Epic
PostedDecember 30, 2008

from Phoenix, AZ
Like a Lincoln Continental, this movie is big, safe, and classic. The story focuses mainly on the Northern Territory of the continent, which in many ways represents the entire country/continent of Australia. This film reminded me in some ways of "Giant" starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean. The homegrown villain becomes self-destructive as his insatiable lust for power grows throughout the film. The movie finds its climax during the Japanese invasian of Darwin, where through hope and bravery, the dreams of nation are fulfilled in the lives of one family and an outback ranch called Faraway Downs.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
