Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

SnoopyStyle It's 1931. The government in the Chief Protector of Aborigines A.O. Neville (Kenneth Branagh) is the legal guardian of every Aborigine in Western Australia. Government agents would remove half-caste children from their parents. Sisters Daisy and Molly Craig along with their cousin Gracie are taken from their tribe, the Jigalong mob. Molly's father is a white man who was working on the rabbit-proof fence. She leads the trio in an escape. They follow the fence back home tracked closely by native Moodoo. Neville directs a massive manhunt to find the three little girls.It's a compelling historical drama. The little girls are great especially Everlyn Sampi. It also has the great David Gulpilil. Seeing the real Molly Craig and Daisy Craig Kadibill in present day is what truly kills me. It's an amazing true story.

paulinapiat Rabbit-Proof Fence is an Australian drama film directed by Phillip Noyce in 2002 and based on the true story of the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. The film brings attention to the Stolen Generations, the children who were removed from their families by the Australian Federal and State government agencies and church missions. The issue is still very controversial in Australia, despite the fact that on the 13th of February 2008 Kevin Rudd presented the apology to Indigenous Australians. The film follows the journey of three Aboriginal girls who were taken from their home and as they run away from the authorities, they follow the Australian rabbit proof fence on foot for 1500 miles. The film if very powerful, it shows the Australian wilderness, the rough landscape of the desert, and the way in which the three girls struggle to survive and get home. Not only is it well made, but also tells a very important story, which still affects the lives of thousands of people in Australia. It is highly recommended for people of all ages and all nationalities as the story is universal speaking of one type of people believing to be superior to others and trying to impose their rules and culture on to those they find inferior, believing they they will do them a favour and therefore they should be grateful rather than try to fight it. I believe that this part of history should be brought into light and discussed, and not hidden and forgotten. I, myself, found it educational as well as moving and touching, because it somehow reminded me of Natzi Germany and the fact that history may repeat itself if we are not careful.

sigmundhol The film is based on a true story, and was made in 2002. It takes place in Australia, and is about the children who were taken away from their families, which is called the lost generation. Phillip Noyce was directing the movie and Everlyn Sampi was playing the lead as Molly Craig.The Movie is about Molly Craig, her little sister and her cousin. They are half cast children and live with their families. One day, a car arrives where they live, by the rabbit proof fence. The children try to escape, but the man takes them into his car and abduct them to Moore River 1500 miles away. There they meet other half cast children who also has been taken away from their families. One morning Molly and the two other girls, decides to escape from Moore River, while everyone is in church. They run into the woods and starts their long trip back home. The evening this day, the people at Moore River discovers that they are gone. Soon they have a professional aboriginal tracker, and a police patrol hunting for them.I think the film was good. It was well made, and it tells an important story. The film is mostly about the tree girls walking across the country to get back to their tribe. But the film tells an important story of a shameful part of Australian history. So it's well worth watching.

johannes1337 Rabbit-Proof Fence is a movie starring Everlyn Sampi, Kenneth Branagh and David Gulpilil. The movie is based on a real story set in early 30's Australia. In this period of time the immigrating Europeans were bringing their culture upon the Aborigines by force.The story begins with some background information about the current situation in Australia, the Commissioner of Native Affairs in Australia signs a warrant for the capture of 3 "half-caste" children. The sisters Molly Craig and Daisy Kadibil together with their cousin Gracie Fields are forcibly removed from their grandmother and mother being relocated to a camp hundreds of miles away. After a few days in this camp, the girls decide to run away from the camp and start walking the many miles back home to their family. Molly is the oldest of the three girls and quickly decides that the most effective way of getting home is following the Rabbit-Proof Fence north. The man sent to track them quickly realizes how they are thinking and follows them, trying to track them down. The movie changes drastically when the sisters cousin is captured and brought back to the camp where they started, meaning that the sisters will have to continue on their own.The thing about the movie that really caught my attention was the way they used music. The majority of the movie contained Aboriginal background music, giving the movie a special feel. In addition to this music being in the background, they also included actual Aboriginals singing and chanting in their native language.The actors in this movie were okay, quite fit to their roles and especially one of them impressed me. The actor who did the role of the Commissioner of Native Affairs really impressed me, being able to stay emotionless and not understand a thing about what he was doing. Not being able to see how he was actually destroying and hurting the Aborigines.To sum up, I think this is a really good movie. The fact that it's based on a true story gives the directors little room for their own interpretation of the script and story, meaning you can't really put your finger on it. The feeling you get when seeing how horribly the Aborigines were treated, only 80 years ago is not something anyone should be proud of. This is not a "feel-good movie". Some of the scenes are quite strong, meaning that if you have a problem with watching discrimination I would not recommend this movie. I would recommend this movie for anyone over the age of 14, because I do not believe younger children understands the meaning of this film.
