About this product

Product Information

Fred Schepisi's internationally acclaimed masterpiece, based on the novel by Thomas Keneally, is the shocking tale of an indigenous man driven to madness and revenge. Jimmie Blacksmith (Tommy Lewis) is a young Aboriginal half-caste raised in central NSW at the turn-of-the-century, a boy initiated by his tribe but also educated by a stern Methodist minister (Jack Thompson).Looking to gain respectability in European society, Jimmy finds a white bride while performing back-breaking work on local farms, but cannot escape his skin colour, suffering ongoing racism and oppression. Discovering that he may not be the father of his wife's child, and fired without pay, Jimmy explodes in a fury of violent revenge and escapes into the bush with his brother Mort, cutting a bloody path of retribution upon the society that has forsaken him. In 1901, the year Australian democracy is born, Jimmy Blacksmith finally faces his fate, and with it the fate of his people.

  • Disappointing Production

    For what was meant to be an important contrubution to our understanding of indigenous circumstances, I'm not convinced that this production necessarily hits the mark. Characterisations are at times poorly acted, and some violence is simply gratuitous. Overall whilst the production had some interesting approaches, I was disappointed; as I had expected a stronger display from all involved.

  • Absolutely excellent and thought provoking. Well worth watching

    I had seen this movie several years ago and wanted to get my own copy. This movie is a apparently based to some extent on actual events, and reflects the treatment meted out to the Australian aboriginies by some, but certainly not all, of the white settlers in the mid 1850s. As a person who has an interest in Australian history, and who is well aware of severe mistreatment of aboriginies by white settlers, I have always regarded this movie as well worth watching. A contract can be drawn between it and the totally unbelievable scenarios shown in the alleged movies of today.
