The movie Rabbit Proof Fence is a story concerning the Stolen Generation in Australia. Very many half caste kids (one of the parents was white, and the other one, usually the mother, was aborigine) were taken by the white population in Australia by force and sent to schools or institutions that were going to train them into being white. A man called Mr. Neville, the Chief Protector of Aborigines in Western Australia, had the responsibility to decide over the aboriginal population, and from what they knew about the aborigines and the whites, it was with good intentions that they took the children away. They were supposed to mix the aborigines with the white population and eventually the aborigines would die out.
This movie is a true story about how three girls, Molly, Gracie and Daisy, who were half caste children, were taken away from their mothers and put in an institution very far from where they lived. They soon made an attempt to run away, and they used a fence that stretched through the country to navigate. The fence was called a rabbit proof fence because it was there to prevent that the rabbits would ruin the agriculture on the other side. During this journey the girls always had to hide and cover their tracks. An aborigine who worked for the whites, Moodoo or "the Tracker", was following them. The oldest of the girls was Molly; she was only 14 years old.
Molly, Daisy and Gracie changes throughout the movie, they are dynamic characters. What they experience makes them more grown-up. The girls' families are flat characters.
The story about the three girls is true, it happened in the 1930's, and at the end of the movie, we get to hear about the real story and how it ended. Since the story is true, the creator of the film had some guiding lines to follow. The setting is put to the 1930's and the setting is very natural, most of the movie takes place in the Australian outback/desert.
The most important thing about the movie is when the girls are taken away, and their journey home. The relationship between the aboriginals and the white population is something we can learn more about in this movie.
I liked the movie because it is a true story about three young girls who had courage and a determination that everybody could look up to. The movie doesn't have a proper climax, and if you are a person who like when something happens in movies, this movie might not be the best choice. But I would recommend it anyway because of the historical aspect.
