Sunday Too Far Away

my take on this movie is that it was a classic Aussie film filled with Aussie humour but it has a its fair share of sadness.One such scene was when the old shearer dies after a heavy night on the booze. This movie also has a few classic Australian bar fight scenes where its a good old fashioned punch on. One of the things that struck me about this movie was how hard the workers had to live while out on the farm considering how hard they work every day. The other thing that I found different was the way that everything seemed to be a job for the male and not much was done by the females because it wasn't considered right.

This movie wasn't a great movie to watch as a teenager in the 21st century because the video quality wasn't all up to scratch, but I do understand that this movies was made back in the 80's, and I must agree with the reality of the film as the life of a shearer on a remote cattle station. This movie could of been set out better because there are some scenes that in reality wouldn't survive or do. I found it a little hard watching the film because since this movie was based in around mid 1900's, the way of life is completely different from 2013, where as men ruled life and women and children had very few rights, which I think it was very wrong, but thank goodness for modern times. I personally don't recommend watching the movie as a teenager but it is the people's choice.

Good, old, classic Australian movie, with great Australian actors who portrayed the classic Aussie shearer. The story was good and had a few comedy moments. The movie showed what the shearer's have to do with the job and what they have to deal with,such as annoying cocky's and terrible chefs. This movie allows us to see the lives of the shearer's and creates empathy for the characters when they are going through tough times. One moment in the movie that struck me was when Foley had the car accident at the start, it just came out of nowhere and he just walked away from it without any worries. I really enjoyed seeing the inside of the shearing shed and seeing the process of actual shearing. Sometimes I found it hard to understand what was happening throughout the movie, as I haven't had much to do with shearing and don't know some of the language associated with it.

I saw this movie when I was a student in Perth and it's one of the films that I'd like to add to my collection. I've searched various places and never had any luck finding it (even on VHS). I've found it available on Dstore and have ordered it. This company can now deliver DVDs (and other items) to the UK and other European countries, USA and Canada as well as Japan. The web site is http://dstore.com.au/ I have used them personally on about six or seven previous occasions and can now be used for a useful source of Australian movies (some of which can be hard to find). Previously I've had some delivered to my parents address in Perth and they've sent them onto me.

To me, this movie is an Aussie classic and I really enjoyed watching it, This movie gives us a very good indication on how they used to work/ live back in those times and that the pay wasn't all that great. Not only is this movie about how they worked but it's also demonstrates how they lived, which is a lot different now a days. But as each movie does this movie has its share of sadness which could bring a tear to your eye. I encourage everyone to give this movie a watch as I think it is a very funny and enjoyable Aussie film.

Tiresome film about men in a weird and somewhat suspect macho culture shearing sheep, boozing, shearing more sheep and boozing more. It's an amazing slice of life. Men ( the few women in the movie are not relevant to the story) who seem to have little or no connection to life beyond booze and monotonous work. There's an interesting exposure to the arcane language of shearing but little interchange about much else of interest. It's a monoculture and not a hugely interesting one at that. The British and Irish working class origins of Aussie culture are apparent. Anyone familiar with the kinds of booze ridden, gender segregated cultures found in the British isles rural or working class ghettoes will be familiar with this culture. It was reminiscent of the culture portrayed in " Once were warriors" from neighbouring NZ. I watched the whole thing even though I was ready to dump it when the men started wiggling their naked bums, but it never really reached sny climax or conclusion.
