Kylo R Apr 23, 2019 Movie was trash the random noise was really irritating and i can't imagine watching it again

Kylo M Nov 22, 2018 A story that is extremely compelling, now... should be required viewing for all Americans in 2018.

Leia R Oct 27, 2018 There is a great deal of craft evident in the way Rabbit-Proof Fence was put together. The music, an adaptation of Aboriginal melodies by Peter Gabriel, is haunting and singularly effective. The camerawork is such that it never allows the beauty of the Australian outback to eclipse the human element - an impressive feat when considering how glorious the countryside is. Under the hands of some directors, a film like this could easily turn into a travelogue; as developed by Noyce, it is an exploration of the heart and soul. And, at an economical 94 minutes, Rabbit-Proof Fence trims all the fat and tells its heartfelt and stirring story. This is one of 2002's most memorable imports. This is an account by the famed online critic/reviewer James Berardinelli. You owe it to yourself to see this film- for the sake of art. (A humbling recreation). See more

Draco W Oct 23, 2017 A moving, smart, beautifully filmed and bittersweet true-story movie about a mostly unknown, yet principally universal, part of world history. See more

Draco S Sep 14, 2017 This is a very Interesting movie. My husband and I watched this movie a few years back and we really loved it. I had totally forgotten about this movie until I seen it as an assignment in my religion class. We were both excited to watch it again! Rabbit-Proof Fence is based on a true. It is a story about three girls, Molly, her sister Daisy, and their cousin Gracie. One day these girls are forcibly ripped from their home and families and sent to a school or education camp to teach them how to behave and speak "properly". If they even tried to escape they would be thrown into a pit that they called the "boob". In this pit they would have limited food and water, they would be beaten and have their heads shaved. Even though those circumstances seem really brutal, Molly was determined to return home to her loved ones. She watched and waited for the right time and her, Gracie, and Daisy fled the camp to embark on the road home. Once they got to the Rabbit-Proof Fence they could follow it all the way to their home. There were many obstacles they would have to face before they would return home safely. When they were on the brink of exhaustion, they make a safe return home to their families. This is very similar to how the Americans did to the African Americans. They would try and teach the African Americans their ways and forbid them to participate in their own personal beliefs and traditions. They saw something that was different and instead of trying to understand and accept cultural differences, they saw flaws within the indigenous communities and tried to change it. Molly, even at the young as of 14 years old, had to have a lot of faith and courage to return home. See more
