Scene from the film Australia where Lady Ashley hears Nullah "singing her to him" as he said. He plays "Over the Rainbow" (a recurring song in the film) to call her to him on his return. Enjoy ^_^
I have seen this movie 3 times, and watched this scene maybe half a dozen more times, and everytime I nearly cry, Kidman was absolutely GREAT in this movie, I think her finest performance. And Nullah was great too. Nearly stole this movie. This scene should have been extended obviously however.
Es increíble esta película y su música, es recomendable para los valores humanos, y un canto a la espereranza. DIVINA❤❤❤❤Cuando todo parece estar debastado, se sale, tod@s tenemos nuestras luchas. ES IMPRESIONANTE Y REAL.❤❤👌🦋
I always found it a little inappropriate that they used "over the rainbow" as a theme for the Aborigines, give L. Frank Baum's editorials advocating genocide of indigenous peoples.
This "cultural whitewashing" needs to end. If a piece of art is beautiful and noteworthy it needs no defending. Much good can come from obscure and even illegitimate means. You give power to the man by speaking his name and giving him attention. Keeping and treasuring this song while allowing this man to sink into a murky forgettable past is how we fix the situation. Unless you'd rather start a book burning club....LMAO
Baum didn’t write the song. Over the Rainbow was created by two Jewish men who knew all too well wishing for something better and the sense of no place like home.
Why is using a song about hope inappropriate?, you can't just iridicate white history either, two wrongs don't make a right, I'm seeing this alot, people are now descrimination white people to make up for history, A. What good will that do, it will just keep the cycle of hate going and B. Your equally descrimination so it doesn't make it better. Your also saying that white prople shouldn't be in this film, cause over the rainbow isn't Aboriginal, not being funny your the only one complaining about the song cause your upset about its representation, we need to integrate like Hairspray said, not seperate the cultures. Also you've clearly not seen Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of over the rainbow, you tell me now that culture shouldn't be integrated. Also how is the film whitewashing?
It was part of the story after Nullah's Mother died when he was crying she told him the story through a the Song Somewhere Over The Rainbow which calmed him because he loved stories & he learned the song & played it on his harmonica also STORY TELLING WAS PART OF THEIR CULTURE It doesn't matter who wrote it or why because it eased a Childs pain & broken heart that's what's important...The whole Film was a beautiful Story.
