I have really come to enjoy Australian themed movies. I am a fan of Western movies. And that might be the correlation.
The Proposition is 1 of my favorites. I enjoyed Quigley Down Under a lot. And I am missing a few others yet. But the harshness of the landscape. The treatment of the Aborigines by colonial forces who are just learning the land.. brings to mind western civilization coming to Indian occupied country around the same timeframe.
That said. This movie moved me greatly. Not for the faint hearted. It is brutal at times but carries a realism which makes me believe it could have occurred and did so in many untold stories.
