let me be the first non australian to comment on this positive . i get the movie for hugo weaving and i watch it to the end . it one of those drama of life film and a my mother use to call a movie that depict a real life story with no extraordinary event and that be mostly descriptive . i like the light and the girl . the rest be without too much fault and but without too much merit either . i yearn for something like the interview and or at least some matrix villain element here and there and but nothing out of the ordinary . the story do teach one about face one own destiny and break free from the environment others build for you and but this happen when the life give peach factory in the area be about to close and so not much of an effort to change thing be require . the smart american beauty sound alike song in the background could have be part of a large soundtrack and but just that one playing over and over again become annoy after 100 minute of film . in the end and i guess it do his job of present a part of australian life and but to me it do not seem specifically australian ( it could have be place anywhere ) and it do not seem attractive a a story . i guess one must be in a certain mood to like the movie .
