Rabbit Proof Fence

Directed by Philip Noyce


Rabbit Proof Fence is a 2002 Australian film directed by
Philip Noyce. The movie follows the story of Molly, Daisy and Gracie
being taken from their homes, mothers and grandmothers. They start their
journey following the Rabbit Proof Fence half-way across Australia, to go
home to Jigalong.
The main characters are played by Everlyn Samp (Molly), Laura Monaghan
(Gracie), Tianna Sansbury (Daisy), Kenneth Branagh (Mr.A.O. Neville) and
Jason Clarke (Constable Riggs).
I think the director (Philip Noyce) Made a fantastic story. It tells the viewer
about the stolen generation and the brave and heroic journey of 3 young
girls.
The theme of this movie is the stolen generation and what it was like to be
of aboriginal race back then.
The genre of this is history and drama. The reason as to why they made this
dramatic is to make the viewer fell almost as if they are there.
I think Molly is a very strong and brave character in this move. I think this
because she had the idea of leaving even once she sow what would happen.
She helped her sisters (cousins) through tough times and not once did I see
her give up.
The sound in this movie was vert powerful and strong. Whenever the girls
where in dought there was sad music; and when there was a build-up there
was intensifying music. Along with the music the sound affects where very
powerful too.
Rating:
I recommend this film for about ages 10-11 or above (grade 5+). I think this
because it has some intense and possibly disturbing scenes that younger kids
might not like and might feel upset about.
