| ♥♥♥♥♥ | BEWARE!!! |
| However "great" the acting may be, or how nicely/uniquely it is filmed, this series is basically a glorified soap opera.
I purchased it for my Australian husband, thinking that it would be an interesting piece of historical fiction. Fiction, yes. Historical, I doubt it. The characters are so messed-up, and continually dig themselves deeper into the pit of scandal and despair. FAMILIES BEWARE: This is full of language, nudity, sexual scenes, adultery, and a GRAPHIC murder scene. There are affairs, a disturbing story/secene of abortion, illegitimate pregnancy, etc. We kept watching, hour after hour, expecting it to get better, or at least have some redeeming message. ...But it just kept getting worse and more depressing - and more scandalous. I really like Cate Blanchett, but even her character is a bit much to handle in this movie. She is featured on the cover of the DVDs, but doesn't come into the picture until more than half way through. I highly recommend the DVD series called "Burned Bridge" if you are looking for a very interesting and accurate glimpse into Australian/Aboriginal culture. Cate Blanchett is also in this one and gives an outstanding performance, along with Ernie Dingo and the others. Also, the film "Rabbit Proof Fence" is an incredible true story of Australian history. I would NOT reccommend this (Bordertown) to any of my friends, family or acquaintances. ...And I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I watched so many hours of it hoping for it to get better/more redeemimg. |
