Film review of “Rabbit Proof Fence”
The film “Rabbit-proof fence” by director Philipp
Noise deals with three kids, who walked a long way
to live their aboriginal lives again. Starring Everlyn
Sampi as the main character Molly while Tianna
Sansbury and Laura Monaghan play Daisy and
Craig and Gracie Fields respectively. The film is
based on a true story which is also written in the
book “Long Walk Home” by Doris Pilkington.
The story is set in Australia and start at a region
called Jigalong. Molly, Daisy and Gracie are the so
called “half-caste children” After Mr. Neville, chief
protector of the Aboriginal people, passed a law.
Molly, Gracie and Daisy are forcibly taken away
from their mother and home. The kids are
transferred to a reformation camp to be converted to
Christian. They had strict rules at the church. Soon
enough, Molly can’t take it anymore. Together, the
three of them escaped. Immediately they are tracked
and followed by Neville’s people. Nonetheless they
managed to evade them every time.
The film sheds light on one the biggest problems in
Australia at the time. Even though the actresses are
untrained, they deliver an absolutely bombastic
performance, showcasing each and every emotion. I
especially like the sunset shots which look amazing.
If you are interested in history, especially in
Australian history, this film is a 9/10. One of my top
recommendations
