Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)
FANTASTIC
I have seen this movie three times now - most recently on DVD - a Special Edition 2 CD set - and the thing still brings me to tears...
The anguish of losing a child is something that no parent should ever have to know, but these kids were so strong and determined - they didn't give up trying to get back home. To know that Molly was taken away AGAIN and made the journey back AGAIN a few years later is a story in itself...
Aussie knowhow really brought this story to life - Philip is a legend - and the girls were incredible in portraying the REAL Molly, Gracie and Daisy. "Following The Rabbit Proof Fence" shows the process behind the film - and Philip should be very proud of his efforts to make sure everything was shown exactly how things were done during the years of The Stolen Generation.
I dedicate these comments to my beautiful sister, who was taken away from our mother in 1972, and found us in 1996... I love you Kylie!!!
Hidden in Silence (1996)
Very goof potrayal
This movie just screened on Channel Seven - Australian TV - today.
In my opinion, it was a very interesting take on how the Nazi's treated the Russian Jews as mercilessly as everywhere else.
Kellie Martin did a really great job, and her tears and frustration as "Frusia" were quite convincing.
The Holocaust is a part of our history that WE MUST NOT FORGET. Schindlers List wasn't the first - and it wont be the last - account of survival and courage in that five year nightmare. My family is Dutch, and I will always applaud any movie makers who want to keep the candlelight alive by telling of someone's courage to stand up and help those who were being abused, violated and murdered for being "A Jew."
