    It is a pity that some people see a fictional account of a story and make judgements. Yes,illegitimate Aboriginal children living in poverty were taken from single mothers and put up for adoption,and this also happened to white children of single mothers. This was the way it was then in Australia and around the world. There were very few single mothers in the 1930′s. It needs to be remembered that in the Aboriginal culture incest was and is part of their culture going back 40,000 years. In fact many Aboriginal men have the very same DNA due to the inbreeding of the culture.If a child was found to not have a father,living in poverty and in danger of being sexually molested,then was it not reasonable for that child to be rescued? Recently(and this is a true story),in 2002 a young Aboriginal girl living in a West Australian Aboriginal settlement committed suicide after being sexually molested. Some “politically correct” and patronising white people had the nerve to say and I quote-”we shouldn’t worry about incest as it is a normal part of the Aboriginal culture” unquote. She wasn’t “stolen generation” and they won’t be making a film about her.

    Last night, having mistakenly taken the video store owner’s recommendation, I watched the movie Rabbit Proof Fence. As soon as the opening credits began, I realized what was in store for me – ethnic praising, white bashing – but I watched it anyway. Even though I’m keenly aware of anti-white propaganda in films, I was still amazed.

    The stereotyping was so blatant and over the top. The white people were monstrous in their punctiliousness, their coldness, their stupidity on the grand scale. And they were contemptible in their cowardliness, laziness, lack of perseverance. The aborigines were brave, loving, kind, self-sacrificing, polite, gentle, wise, determined, in touch with nature, cleverer than the whites, etc. No indication that they’d be driving cars into kangaroos for sport in a few decades.

    Whites have been primed for years to accept such distortions without objecting.

    Then I remembered a movie I saw in my childhood, probably over 30 years ago – “Crazy Horse.” As I remember it, the chief himself was a noble hero and the most hideous character in the film was an ugly faced white military leader who gave the Indians a gift of thousands of blankets contaminated with smallpox.

    Being brainwashed like this is the reason that White people don’t do enough to protect themselves and their civilization. The Australian government’s policy of removing all half-caste Aboriginal children to special training schools was not perfect, but it was not racist. The whole point was to take the children away from a primitive stone-age culture so that they could become part of modern Australian culture. In other words, it was inclusive.

    This film is about racism all right, but it is about the racist stereotyping of whites as evil and every other race as good, and it is about brainwashing Whites to hate their own culture and race so that they will sit idly by while it is destroyed by minority empowerment, historical revisionism, and mass immigration of more `good’ people (i.e. non-Whites).

    While this wasn’t the worse film that I have ever seen it comes close. This had the potential to be a really awesome and dramatic story, but it turns out to be slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.

    I have to say first of all that I enjoyed watching the film–as a fictionalized historical documentary, it works well. The scenery is amazing, the music (sounds, more like it) by Peter Gabriel is very nice, the camera work is good, and the acting decent, but there’s really no story here at all. No characters change or learn anything, nobody learns any of the life lessons that drive fiction and drama. Things here just happen, one thing after another, like a plain narrative, and it leaves an empty feeling after the film is over.

    The actors didn’t have much to work with, it seems, and their performances show it–I agree with the reviewer who says that they seem to be caricatures. Almost all of the white people are prejudiced, unfeeling bigots, and all of the aborigines are subservient, passive people who depend on the handouts from the whites. I don’t know if that’s historically accurate, but it is somewhat painful to watch.

    As a historical lesson about the depths to which people in power can sink when they’re convinced of their own genetic “superiority,” I would highly recommend this film. As a movie, a story that compels the viewer and helps us to learn more about life, I wouldn’t recommend it at all–there’s simply no story here.
