Goodes, think of an amalgam of Myers, Grace Brothers, David Jones and Georges (in Melbourne). Think of Beresford, an Australian, perhaps making a beautiful movie with a rather clever political statement embedded regarding migrants and Australia. Very pertinent in today's world and very subtle but resoundingly clear for those that want listen and hear. Yet another very enjoyable almost period piece regarding Australia. At my age I knew people like virtually all the characters depicted in the film. I feel sorry for people who do/did not. We were not immediately nicer D accepting of refugees after WW11, we were not immediately nice/ accepting of refugees after Vietnam (more my era). But I do not think we have never treated refugees as badly as today. Maybe that is why Mr Berrsford has tried to remind us of nicer and kinder Australia. I do hope we will listen. This movie can be enjoyed on more than one very superficial level. Watch again and think about what is said, by whome and about what. You sometimes need to think when watching a film.
