Awful, wishy washy, self loving nonsense with puddle deep symbolism for teenage girls who think they're hip. Utter gong.

*And seriously?

And as for TGG, i'm not willing to give it the time of day. I wont like it, I know I wont like it. So why should I bother?
Yet you can pass judgement on it as you did in the post above.

As for Australia, the plot at the end was vastly different to the story at the beginning, and there was actually a lot of character development especially in the character of the drover. The fact that the film began as a western and ended as a war film makes me think you haven't seen this either if you think nothing happened.
