Kong Ho Meng A tragic and painful account of young aboriginal girls who were taken away from home to have...as the whites perceived... a better life and proper education, which later fled and struggled a near impossible journey just to get back home...its fascinating that there are actually no baddies as the whites(kenneth) were trying to help them but the lack of understanding between the 'helper' and the 'victims' brought certain unwanted results. Simple plot and amazingly natural acting by the native youths sets this show apart from the rest and great enough to stand out as a memorable movie...there is no doubt that everyone will feel deeply towards the 3 little girls so do expect a little tear-jerking scenes!

kjersti-95 The film is about three aboriginal girls. That is from a true story. Some persons belong to the stolen generation and they are "half-caste" persons. Their home is named Jigalong and the kids in the film were taken by force from their family and it is about 1,500 miles away from Jigalong to Moon River where they are going to be taught to be servants. The main character is named Molly, Daisy and Gracie and they manage to escape the camp together and the girls walk all the way from Moon River to Jigalong. They only follow the rabbit proof fence. When the girls are walking home to Jigalong they are all over the news and everybody is looking for them to bring them back to Moon River. The minister in charge of the half-caste people is named Mr. Neville. Mr. Neville was doing everything to bring the girls back to the camp again. The girls walked about 9 weeks and the girls have to go through the rough landscape of the Australia's desert. They haven't any food or water and that is very horrible to see those girls walk along this. I like this film because it is from a true story and I really liked to follow the movie about what were happened here. It was very interesting to see what the girl did to hide themselves. I liked to see the end of the film when we saw the girls in real, right now.They are now 80 years old and they are still alive.

johannes1337 Rabbit-Proof Fence is a movie starring Everlyn Sampi, Kenneth Branagh and David Gulpilil. The movie is based on a real story set in early 30's Australia. In this period of time the immigrating Europeans were bringing their culture upon the Aborigines by force.The story begins with some background information about the current situation in Australia, the Commissioner of Native Affairs in Australia signs a warrant for the capture of 3 "half-caste" children. The sisters Molly Craig and Daisy Kadibil together with their cousin Gracie Fields are forcibly removed from their grandmother and mother being relocated to a camp hundreds of miles away. After a few days in this camp, the girls decide to run away from the camp and start walking the many miles back home to their family. Molly is the oldest of the three girls and quickly decides that the most effective way of getting home is following the Rabbit-Proof Fence north. The man sent to track them quickly realizes how they are thinking and follows them, trying to track them down. The movie changes drastically when the sisters cousin is captured and brought back to the camp where they started, meaning that the sisters will have to continue on their own.The thing about the movie that really caught my attention was the way they used music. The majority of the movie contained Aboriginal background music, giving the movie a special feel. In addition to this music being in the background, they also included actual Aboriginals singing and chanting in their native language.The actors in this movie were okay, quite fit to their roles and especially one of them impressed me. The actor who did the role of the Commissioner of Native Affairs really impressed me, being able to stay emotionless and not understand a thing about what he was doing. Not being able to see how he was actually destroying and hurting the Aborigines.To sum up, I think this is a really good movie. The fact that it's based on a true story gives the directors little room for their own interpretation of the script and story, meaning you can't really put your finger on it. The feeling you get when seeing how horribly the Aborigines were treated, only 80 years ago is not something anyone should be proud of. This is not a "feel-good movie". Some of the scenes are quite strong, meaning that if you have a problem with watching discrimination I would not recommend this movie. I would recommend this movie for anyone over the age of 14, because I do not believe younger children understands the meaning of this film.

bjornkvale Film ReviewRabbit-Proof Fence is an Australian drama film from 2002. The plot is based on a true story about three Aboriginal girls who is taken away from their mother and put in a settlement run by white men to breed out the mixed-race Aboriginals. It follows the three girls as they escape the settlement and starts on the long journey home, and are hunted by the white men who are doing everything they can to bring the three girls back to the settlement. The plot is taking place in the year 1931. The film is directed by Phillip Noyce and is based on the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara who is the daughter of the main character Molly Craig. This film does a good job of entertaining the viewer! The director has done a good job finding locations to film and placing the right music in the right place. You will see a lot of nice shots of the Australian Outback and the music really helps to build up under what is currently happening on the screen. What is a little special about this film is that it manages to keep it interesting to watch without the Hollywood use of special effects, weird camera angels or other things that would be typical for a Hollywood-film. This film is made to tell a story and so it does. And this is a good thing, because the story is strong in most ways. Though I did not get the emotions I would might expect out of a movie like this. I don't want to spoil too much for you, but I can say this: Some tragic happenings occur in the movie, and the film didn't make me feel enough for the characters to really care. I think this is much due to the acting of the main characters. Especially when it came to the character Molly, I didn't feel like she is acting like a normal 14-year old would. She is constantly dead serious and does not get emotional enough. When walking a path of 1500 miles to get home, it would sometimes seem like a normal walk in the village. Other than this, the acting is mostly good and so is the movie. I give it a score of 7 out of 10 because it is a good movie with an interesting plot and story behind it. It is a bit linear and because of this and the sometimes poor acting I do not give it a higher score.
