An OK film based on a great true story
The true story of Robyn Davidson’s adventure and her crossing of a 1,700 mile across the Australian wilderness.Whilst it is undoubtedly an amazing feat to be able to achieve this, the sheer remarkableness of this achievement is not conveyed in this film properly. Had we not been aware that this is based on a true story, judging by the film alone one could go so far as to say this was a relatively ‘easy’ task. The isolation she faced, starvation and dehydration are hardly presented. Instead she seemed to often interact with people who helped her.
At the same time, the stunning landscapes, the might of her determination as well as her complete dependency on the camels and a dog is adequately portrayed.
Overall, this is a mixed bag of impressions. A good film overall, but it deserved to be great.
There is more to the desert than meets the eye.
I had been very excited about this movie after seeing the trailer. The story is exhilarating and after watching movies like “Into the Wild” and “127 Hours,” I was waiting to see what was in store. As I sat down in my seat to see this at the San Francisco Film Festival I decided to erase all anticipation of the movie and just sit. The lights dimmed down, the audience shuffled into comfortable positions, and then began the movie. Almost two hours passed, and the film’s credits began. The audience sat in their seats, myself included. We were mesmerized by John Curran’s adaptation, Mia Wasikowska’s tremendous performance, and Mandy Walker’s impeccably/beautifully captured imagery. What stood out to me the most, though, was the perspectives of isolation and companionship. Marion Nelson did a fantastic job at taking the elements of the autobiography that gave us those perspectives, and as we watched Mia struggle through the desert with her four camels, dog, and occasionally the photographer (played by a genuine Adam Driver), we all began to understand her points of views in life as well as ourselves. So much motif was done with the desert, which I have to applaud John Curran for doing. I will be seeing this film again when it is released, and I hope you will too!
