Caught Australia last night with Baby Achmad.
I can easily say that this might be the best movie I've watched this year, just before it hits 2009. I would even give this movie 5 stars.
From the poster, the movie may look like a weepy sappy war romance. But do not be deceived. This movie is an excellent portrayal of discrimination against coloured people by the whites. And that despite the evil Whites that cause suffering upon the coloured people, there are still good Whites that see beyond colour and help the lives of others change for the better.
The movie was extremely touching. The excellent cinematography, combined with the very moving music, and the excellent acting of the actors (Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman = nuff said) makes up an almost perfect work of art.
Apart from the touching and moving scenes, there were also comedic moments in many parts of the movie. And I always think that a movie that can make you both laugh and cry, and inspire you at the end of it, is an excellent movie.
Do go watch it, you won't regret it.
