Bran Nue Dae
When searching for a movie to review for my
first project people recommended I watch Bran Nue Da. I really dislike it for
two main reasons it’s horrible musical singing glossing over every real issue
such as the horrible issues of racism/ inequality and its horrible wishy washy Hollywood
plot and ending.
The film starts off in Broome where we meet Willie Johnson (they must have
had a hard time thinking up that name) Basically he is having teenage boy puberty
issues and is madly in love with a girl called Rosie who is seeing on older man
. His issues are compounded by the fact
that he was to go back to boarding school where he wants to be a preist this directly contradicts his
sexual desires of Rosie and drives his teenage rebellion against the racists
German priest who runs the boarding school and his subsequent escape and
journey to broome with some random homeless man who his drinking under a bridge
and the German pack backers they con to take the from Perth to Broome and after a long and enlightening journey
which everyone is better for they arrive just in time for their soppy cliché Hollywood
ending.
