Mar 15, 2011to Aussie Oi: the music playing on the dvd menu sung by a woman is Waltzing Matilda by Ophelia of the Spirits ;) fell in love with it myself - just like the movie, it's gorgeous!!
mandy
Sep 27, 2010Esse filme é simplismente PERFEITO, ficamos perplexos diante da tela do começo ao Fim. Tem uma história de Amor muito Linda, e um elenco maravilhoso, Principalmente Hugh Jackman. Ameeeei, não tenho palavras para expressar.
Aussie Oi
May 15, 2010Love this movie. Can anyone tell me what the music is that comes in on the very beginning of the dvd menu. It has a woman singing and it starts with the animation in the beginning of the menu. Please help me before I rip my hair out trying to find it haha!

dorisdollmyster
May 06, 2009Brandon Walters stole my heart; I just wanted to reach in the screen and squeeze;& hug him.
dorisdollmyster
May 06, 2009Hope to see more of Brandon Walters. He was Fantastic in Australia. He should have had more recognition; since the movie was centered around Aboriginals; and the Stolen Generation.

May 04, 2009I thought this was a wonderful movie.I have seen it about 10 times and every time it gets better.

Apr 27, 2009this movie is the best movie EVER. my fave! oh, and hugh jackman is the best!

Apr 12, 2009Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman,a good pair for this type of movie. It was great.
Australia
Apr 12, 2009I've never left a review for a movie before--but I'm making an exception on this one! This was an extraordinarily WONDERFUL movie! What a surprise because there were some bar scenes at the very beginning that seemed a bit contrived and juvenile, so I wasn't expecting a whole lot; but once it got going, I was HOOKED! I'm rarely moved to tears when I see a movie, but this one had them flowing. It was funny (Nicole Kidman was unbelievably good at the comedy!)...Brandon Walters stole my heart from the very beginning...the man who played his grandfather was superb...and the MUSIC!!! What gorgeous music! I'd rented this movie from iTunes (a first for me), so as I was eagerly waiting to see who performed some of the music, I accidentally pushed "STOP" and lost the last few minutes. "Oh, no! The music!!!"I said out loud to myself. A previous poster said it beautifully, and I'll reinforce what he wrote: "It wasn't perfect. Yes, there were some flaws--but I soon found myself forgiving its flaws because its message was so worthwhile, and what it did pull off so well, it pulled off BEAUTIFULLY! See it! Forgive its beginning flaws and prepare yourself to be whisked away. I needed fantasy--and it delivered! I agree: "There should be more epic films such as this one!"

Apr 03, 2009This movie was a great. I'm a big fan of both stars and I think they did a wonderful job. The newcomer Brandon Walters was so cute.
Waldorf
Apr 03, 2009Absolutely the best. It should have gotten the Best Movie Award instead of Slumdog. It was great. Would love to see a sound track come out. The music was sooooo good. I recommend this movie. A must see~!
nkmoyer
Mar 24, 2009Absolutly loved the movie and the music was even more fantastic one question though what is the song that they play on the harmonica not Over the rainbow but an enchanting melody cant get it outta my head
Australia
Mar 23, 2009The movie was amazing,Nicole Kidman is a beautiful actress, Huge Jackman is hot. I loved the story it made me laugh ,cry, and angry that people could be so cruel to little children. The world needs to know these stories.

Mar 22, 2009A VERY INSPIRING STORY
dianador
Mar 16, 2009Actually the song is by The Postal Service. Iron & Wine covered it later. The singer is Ben Gibbard, better known from Death Cab for Cutie fame.
Rob
Mar 15, 2009thanku kerry, was driving me nuts :)
mo momma
Mar 15, 2009I just copied this from a post much earlier...... For the two people who asked about this song, which has also been driving me crazy - the one played by the chef on the Ukelele around the campfire and then whistled to Drover by his brother in law when asked to not whistle the 'over the rainbow' song it's called Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine. *relief* posted by Kerry on Dec 27, 2008

Jan 28, 2009I loved pretty much everything:the action the love story, and especially the setting!! Now i'm just itching to go to Australia myself!!
Jill
Jan 27, 2009Loved the movie, scenery, acting, action. But the use of Bach's "Sheep may safely graze" and Elgar's "Nimrod" from his "Enigma Variations", while wonderful music themselves, seemed very incongruous with the setting. There are many fine Australian composers who could have written music specifically for the movie instead of using these pieces.
kangaboi
Jan 26, 2009Those who have seen this film and say its bad well watch it again and actually watch it rather then pick fault with it. It's a film for everyone and the best film to be produced and will live with me for ever. I have actually been to Australia many times and believe me the place is even better than it looks on the film. Those who moaned about the length, well you knew before you paid your money so stop the moans. Watch the film properly and see it for what it is....JUST THE BEST FILM EVER!
DT von Switzerland
Jan 24, 2009I loved the movie! Just watch and see how interesting is it! Ja, drama could be long but the movie and the whole story in it is far more than that! Its LOVE- the greatest thing of all! People may not notice it but its true-- racism is there but was conquered by love! Super!
Australia
Jan 23, 2009I didn't like this film at all. It was just a warmed-up movie. The scene was really amazing, after watching this film, you wanna go there, that's for sure. But all the rest... there was far tooooo much drama in tooooo long scenes. Nothing revolutionary at all. What is interesting however is the historic component, with the discrimination of the "creamys". But there again you think oh a hollywood production. Ah la la...
Australia
Jan 22, 2009fantastic film, entertaining and heart felt. It left me thinking..

Jan 21, 2009I have seen Australia exactly TEN times now and I have to say to all that dissed the movie, Ya'll got no ideas wats ya talkin bout, the scenes where gorgeous, the backgrounds, besides the docks and water views, were not fake, Baz air brushes his backgrounds to make them stand out and to give the characters more depth, he does it in all of his movies, my fave film yet and I am looking so unbelievably forward to it DVD release in exactly 40 DAYS!!!
henkie
Jan 21, 2009It's so Hollywood. There are too much stories to tell so that you're not really 'involved' with the characters, to much computerizzle which you can see straight away and there are other things which are just too perfect. Sorry guys
Saphiraaa
Jan 20, 2009This is a great film!!! I was just amazed! I've never thought that 'Australia' would be THAT good! The outback, cameras, music everything is PERFECT!
Rudie
Jan 19, 2009Excellent movie in years. Perfect cast, filmsetting and wonderful music.
Ulises
Jan 19, 2009just a beautifull movie and exelents actors, i really love this movie and Nicole
JCOL
Jan 18, 2009The music just before the end of the movie is Nimrod, composed by Edward Elgar, and part of his masterpiece Enigma Variations =)
twochins
Jan 16, 2009Enjoyed the film but need to know the title of the classical music just before the end credits( not the boabub tree song)

Jan 11, 2009it is worth every second of the whole watching! Amazing actors, scenery of Australia and the plot is great. heart touching movie :))
Bubblegum
Jan 11, 2009well, it was real good actually. I just felt that it was like two movies in one. And that it kept sort off ending but then starting again. However it was very sad at some points yet made me smile alot when it got too the ending. I loved the music that's in the trailer. Cant find it's name anywhere :/.
Troy
Jan 08, 2009Excellent film. Absolutely gorgeously filmed. Perhaps a tat too long and it continually felt like the actors wanted to burst out in song; it is after all a Baz Luhrmann film! But definitely worth seeing at least twice. Can't wait for the DVD.
HELEN
Jan 07, 2009THIS IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AND STUNNING. LOVED IT FROM START TO FINISH.

Jan 03, 2009horrible
LP
Jan 02, 2009sorry. going to be a little clearer here. when the dude whistles around the camp fire and at the very beginning of the credits (only a few notes), that is the song by jason mraz.
LP
Jan 02, 2009the song is not by iron and wine even though it sounds similar. it's the beginning notes of a song called i'm yours by jason mraz.
nopa
Jan 02, 2009such a beutiful movie! one of my favorite of all time 4 sure! not a mainstream but its really nice! bravo, baz Lhurmann n all the crew!!!

Australia
Dec 31, 2008I feel as though this Film was made just for me. I was able to lose myself in the Fantasy of this good movie for a couple of hours. I remembered the Old Timers who lived in the Outback at this time including my own mum and dad.

Dec 31, 2008i couldnt stop crying. i loved it. BEST movie ever..BTW hugh jackman is SO hot!!
julita/poland
Dec 31, 2008Rewelacyjny film,Hugh Jackman-świetny aktor i niesamowicie sexowny i pociągający mężczyzna:)
alex
Dec 31, 2008It was a Baz Luhrmann film. Of course it was going to be melodramatic. Stunningly breathtaking with a predictable yet still compelling storyline. It had a quirky cohesion, being an amalgam of absurdist comedy and heart-wrenching tragedy. The best movie of '08. And i'm proud to be Australian.
Gareth
Dec 31, 2008A good film, marred by Luhrmans usual pantomime charm. Anyway for those desperate to know what that credits song is, it's: By The Boab Tree (as pointed out by someone else) written and performed by Ophelia Of The Spirits and you can get it on itunes.
scampage
Dec 30, 2008good movie, looking for soundtrack

Dec 30, 2008excelente pelicula.... ambos protagonistas interpretaron sus personajes de manera cautivadora.

Dec 30, 2008Brilliant film! What was the song played with the closing credits?!?
Helen
Dec 30, 2008Better than Titanic by far. Don't forget the tissues!

Dec 30, 2008fantastic!
tibbles
Dec 29, 2008Went to see this with my wife last night and absolutely loved it. The little boy is a star in the making. Can't believe it was his first role. Yes its clich�d and a bit predicatable however if you want to be entertained and fancy a feel good emotional ride then I'd thoroughly recommend it.
Nan�
Dec 29, 2008I just loved it ! Its really great ! I cried like a baby when Lady Sarah and Nullah meet and when Lady Sarah meet with Drover in the end . It was the best movi I ever saw in my life ! Just loved it !
ray
Dec 29, 2008awesome bro!

Dec 26, 2008Corny enough to satisfy the American market,poorly acted,unbelievable story line.....yet still one of the most entertaining movies you willl ever see. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
spokki
Dec 26, 2008Well, this movie wasn't perfect: it was far from it. It wasn't perfect, but it was breathtaking, unbelievably beautiful, entertaining and absolutely stunning, so I'm more than happy to forgive it's mistakes. Hugh, Nicole and that lovely little boy are such a magnificent trio. Loved it.
sheila91
Dec 25, 2008Not a very good film compared to something like Titanic which even though everyone knows the story before they see it manages to create drama. This film disappointed in particular by being predictable as others have said. I think once the marketing hype has died down people will realise what a lemon it is. The music was good, hence 2 stars, and for all those waiting for the soundtrack you could of course just buy the originals! They are beautiful pieces in their entirety not just the clips in the film!
Julien
Dec 25, 2008Great Movie!
Seonna98
Dec 25, 2008Loved this movie!!!!! Have seen it now 2 times and it is excellent. I just haveto say thank you for such a wonderful movie.
buzzy87
Dec 23, 2008Outstanding! I can't give it a high enough rating. I think once the rantings of the "quick to judge to look intellegent and poorly educated" people are over, it will go down as one of the Greats. The acting and cinematography were Phenomenal. Excellent! A Beautifully told and Powerful story.
demas
Dec 23, 2008Without a shadow of a doubt this was the worst movie I saw in 2008. Very thin acting, a thinner plot riddled with cliches and predictable at every stage, overdone "effects" that were even shown up as such in the film (take the dust cloud approach to the farmstead, cut to aerial shot showing the dust cloud only around the building which clears before your eyes), poor representation of Aboriginal people and culture, need I go on. Those who liked it, well fine, but I'm not seeing many *reasons* being quoted as to why 5 stars were merited.
Charlie
Dec 22, 2008This was an awesome movie!!! It has something for everyone. My grandma has promised to buy it for me when it comes out we can watch it together,she lives in a nursing home so she cannot see it in the movies. I love all of BL films, this one even beats MR! Great acting and directoring, great work everyone.
maddy
Dec 22, 2008GREAT MOVIE!! LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK
Australia
Dec 21, 2008To much melodrama, not enough drama. Two great actors forced to over act and way to many close ups. WHAT Baz used in M R did not work in this one.
Coco
Dec 18, 2008Saw it twice in one week. Loved it even more the second time. Something for everyone in this movie and it is over in a second.
Ozzie
Dec 18, 2008Embarrassing, too long by half, hard to understand and soooo predictable.
Kate
Dec 18, 2008This is an amazing movie. I am definately planning on buying it as soon as it comes out. Does anyone know the name of the second song that Drover's brother-in-law whistles to him?
gilly
Dec 17, 2008I sat enthralled throughout the whole movie. The characters were believable, the costumes authentic and the acting by ALL the cast was superb. Thankyou Baz, CM and ALL your crew for faithfully portraying Australian life as it was then.
SnowLeopard91085@aol
Dec 16, 2008OMG! When this movie comes out on DVD I'm going to buy it! This was such a good movie! I saw it in the movie theater last saturaday. I love it!
Ang
Dec 15, 2008One of the best films i have ever seen!
Asha
Dec 15, 2008Where the H#LL is the soundtrack? I thought they came out BEFORE the movie. GRRRRREAT movie! but the marketing sucked.
Beyonce\'
Dec 15, 2008Amazingly unique and creative, I've never been in a theatre with such strong emotional reactions around me. It's obvious the critics giving it low stars can't rate a movie anymore with out graphic violence or pointless sexuality. Definitely a DVD worth purchasing and seeing on the big screen twice.
miky

Dec 10, 2008I mean, I wonder if the film score composer knows this and that's they used the song (inspired by Grainger's music, not Bach's).
aq
Dec 10, 2008The movie was fantastic. Incidentally, the use of Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" in the movie score is very ironic because Percy Grainger (Australian-born with British heritage) wrote a Ramble of Bach's piece titled "Blithe Bells." I wonder if the film score composer knows this interesting fact.

Dec 10, 2008It was even better seeing it a second time! Having just returned from Australia which included a 5-day camping safari in the Outback it brought back a lot of memories. The movie had everything - beautiful scenery, drama, history and romance. Fantastic movie!!!Well done, Baz. Hope to see the soundtrack out soon. Noreen

Dec 09, 2008It wasnt about war really,it wasnt really meant to be a love story, but a film about family-how you find it without looking- how love can save you-if you just leave your heart open it can find its way in- a very unexpected surprise, I thought it would be an okay movie and it was really great! A great family movie -it shows that being together is what matters.Not all the worldly things- not money not wealth just family!!!

Dec 09, 2008I have to say, I was anticipating the movie awfully badly, but I never expected it to be so good! I'm seeing Twilight this thursday when it comes out, and i've been waiting for this movie now for one year. Even so, I would rather see Australia again, than watch Twilight. Call me crazy, but it was an amazing movie with an amazing cast. I've always loved Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman... well, I don't really need to go into detail there... but as well as that, the music was just to perfection, and as soon as the soundtrack comes out, I know that'll be the first thing I buy with my christmas money. It's highly recommended to romance lovers, and people who love a bit of action, and alot of drama.

Dec 08, 2008Movie - 3 stars. Music 5 stars. Bach and Elgar do it every time!!
bungalowboy
Dec 08, 2008Listen everyone: Read my lips- the music at the end was NOT Sibelius....It was Sir Edward Elgars "Enigma Variations".
sporttwins
Dec 08, 2008Very long and very hollywood. Story line was okay but I would recommend saving the money and renting this one at home, if that! The music was the best part.
Ventura, CA
Dec 08, 2008great score..with theme from Brahms.
NatGuz
Dec 07, 2008Loved this movie and the soundtrack even more. Any idea when it will be released??
AnneM
Dec 07, 2008The musical score must have been put together by someone with a sense of humor. A cattle drive while playing Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze." I doubt I would seen this movie if I had realized it was essentially an overly long western. Does anyone know the what the music was at the very end? Sibelius came to mind but I am not sure.
ClassicalCookie
Dec 07, 2008The music at the end was from British Composer Sir Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations.

Dec 07, 2008I loved it, if you let yourself get lost in Baz's imagination it's worth the ride, I'll go again, My fiance cried through at least half of it

Dec 07, 2008This movie is just wonderful and exceptionally done on all fronts! I can't wait to see it again! It would be nice if Hollywood could be so well represented with this kind of quality more often!

Dec 07, 2008Strange there is no released soundtrack and no music credits. The closing credits were accompanied by Elton John. There were remnants of Sibelius' FINLANDIA but I too am uncertain and the credits rolled too quickly to read. It was entertaining, somewhat factual and, at times, heart-wrenching. Good flick but on the long side.

Dec 07, 2008I loved this movie. I thought Nicole Kidman was great in it.
Norwin
Dec 06, 2008Interesting comments regarding the wonderful soundtrack. The music by J.S.Bach that is heard frequently throughout the film is entitled "Sheep May Safely Graze"

Dec 06, 2008This movie was amazing. Brandon Walters captures your heart and should capture an Oscar. The scenery was beautiful. Kidman and Jackman were wonderful as well. I will purchase this movie to watch over and over agin!

Dec 06, 2008This movie was fantastic! My mom and I went and saw it last week and I already can't wait to go and see it again! Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman make a great couple on the screen!
Lolly
Dec 05, 2008Absolutely amazing movie. My husband and I both agreed it may be the best movie we have seen in our lifetime. This movie should take Oscars in many catagories. Hollywood has not made a movie of this excellent caliber in many moons. Brandon Walters stole my heart at scene one...Bravo!

Dec 02, 2008Excellent, excellent film. What's bothering me though, there was a song that the asian cook played by the campfire that I liked and recognised, but don't know the name to...would you guys know which song I'm talking about? The cook played it with a ukelele (small guitar)
victoria
Dec 02, 2008A little bit Indiana Jones with a touch of Out of Africa. Great friendships, dastardly villains, beautiful scenery and humor too. Many couples in the theaters and the men enjoyed it as much as the women. Highly recommend it.

Dec 02, 2008Sheep May Softly Gaze was used throughout and that is DEFINITELY Bach... someone suggested no Bach earlier

Dec 01, 2008I loved the movie and the story but I think Nicole Kidman overacted a tad. I love the song the "The Drover" Does any one know when the soundtrack will be released?

Dec 01, 2008The first kiss in the movie is to 'die and go to heaven'. Not that the tuxedo scene at the mission social was too shabby either......

Dec 01, 2008loved this film. Great story line; wonderful acting, gorgeous scenery and the music score partly in thanks to Elton John, who wrote "the drover" melody, was brilliant !!

Dec 01, 2008This movie is by far the best I have seen in a very, very long time. The acting is incredible.

Dec 01, 2008My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It meant a lot to me because my father was in Darwin during WWll fighting. Made me home sick. Brandon Walters stole my heart with his beautiful eyes.
Jeanne
Dec 01, 2008Music soundtrack had Edgar Elgar's Enigma Variations (Variation IX-Nimrod) in it. I don't believe that there was anything by Bach. I-Tunes does have a version of Elgar's music there. I loved the movie. Not just a chick flick. We went as two couples and everyone enjoyed it.

Nov 30, 2008This was an epic movie I will purchase on DVD and watch over and over again. I was moved by the story, captivated by the beauty of the scenery and the romance was as sexy as 'Out of Africa', another of my favorites. We should have more movies of this quality made! Absolutely loved it. Can't wait til the soundtrack comes out.

Nov 30, 2008Have seen it twice so far. Best movie I've seen in along time. Disappointing to hear people who haven't seen it comment negatively on it. So moving and enjoyable, the way a movie should be! Thank you Baz.
stunned
Nov 30, 2008Saw the movie last night I was blown away it was absolutley awsome Kidman and Jackman were brilliant and Nulla stole the show he has a great future ahead of him. This is a must see movie and goes straight to the top of my movie list as the best movie of all time. THANK YOU so much Baz

Nov 30, 2008I believe the classical piece of music woven throughout movie was Bach's Air for the G String??
Dan
Nov 30, 2008Jemma, did anyone answer your question? I recognized the tune, but feel quite uncultured at not recognizing it.
Rose
Nov 30, 2008Yeah, what is that classical piano piece that plays throughout? It's killing me not to remember it!
Jessie
Nov 30, 2008It is easily going down as my favorite movie yet!! It was amazing!

Nov 29, 2008Loved it... Does anyone know what the classical song is that plays throughout the musical score?? You here the tune woven here and there throughout the movie...

Nov 29, 2008Often times movies that are quick off the gate disappoint on the home stretch. This is not one of those. It was evenly paced, well acted and a real cinemagic carpet ride. Don't wait to see this from your own easy chair. This epic adventure must be experienced at a venue better suited for the occasion. I loved it.
VB
Nov 29, 2008Excellent movie... Great epic love story with adventure. Excellent acting, scenary and music. I will enjoy seeing it again.

Nov 29, 2008Brandon Walters should be nominated for his part in the movie. What a talented, beautiful boy. His parents can be very proud of him.

Nov 26, 2008This film was captivating, truly done in the old Hollywood spirit. While based on some events that did occur, there is the perfect blend of history and fiction. The story is more than a typical love story or outback adventure. The soundtrack was captivating and soulful. Besides the great chemistry of Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, the young boy who played Nullah, in my opinion, stole the show. I loved it!

Nov 25, 2008I saw this movie last night at a screening and was thrilled. It was better then I expected and not typical of Baz Lurhman. It was epic and the acting was super. Go see it.
ferdysingson
Nov 23, 2008I saw the pre-screening the other day with Hugh Jackman present doing a QA. The movie is based on the old Hollywood style movie making with all the cinematic beautiful background sceneries and a captivating plot that is swashbuckling, adventurous, and many many things that can be described and a full blown getaway from reality movie that will leave you like you went on an exciting adventure back in time and in the outskirts of Australia. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman definitely had a great chemistry in this film. Highly recommended.

Nov 15, 2008"I haven't been this excited about a movie for a long, long, long, long time. Was that a movie? Was that a movie? I mean they just don't make movies like that any more, they really don't."
WOW!
