I finally watched the movie Australia, directed by Baz Luhrman(Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge), and found it riddled with cultural politics cliches. Here is a trailer:
If your idea of a good movie is one that is designed to symbolically challenge supposed stereotypes of 'race, gender and economic class' then this is another offering of the usual stuff.
If not, you'll probably get the impression that you're being talked down to with cultural politics messages and stereotypes that don't quite work.
WATCH, READ, WRITE.
