The beginning of the film was in the classic Baz Lurmann style - quirky and over exaggerated. Had he carried this through the rest of the film, other than with the scenery, the picture would have been tiresome. I agree with you, Parker.
For a good example of this style, check out "Strictly Ballroom". We also see it to some extend in "Moulin Rouge!"
Now speaking on the scenery, it was a fantastic characiture of Australia. Watch the film again and pay attention to the scenery. You'll realize how vibrant and exaggerated it actually is.
I have been working so hard. I love it. But sometimes when I stop for a moment, I realize how much stress I have. Anyone want to go out and do something fun?
Drank a lot this afternoon. It's only Monday, but you have to entertain the clients. Now for coffee. Still, it feels really good to let loose. Now I want a good fuck.
In the end, "Australia" turned out to be the perfect Australian Epic Western.
Check out his first film, "Strictly Ballroom".
