Amazing story of strength and willpower

Warning: Spoilers
It was three months already that I had been waiting to see this movie. Well, the waiting was really worth for. Not only the filming is amazing in many aspects, but the story from the book, the actress, the actors, including Diggity are fabulous. This kind of movie awakens the spirit and gives new strength in all our hopes and dreams. I feel that I had I seen this movie at the age of 14, 15, 16... I would have changed many things in my life and I would have gone out to the world sooner than when I did. There are sequences in this movie that are priceless. To me, the most beautiful one had to do with her mixing with what surrounds her in the desert. She is wearing a clothing on her head, very subtle and she looks around her and feels something she would not feel in the normal day to day world. The beauty of the desert and its impact in our souls. That is what is portrayed in the sequence. I love everything about this movie, the aboriginals, the dust, the camels, all is so very well portrayed, so simply and natural. The tempo in the movie is also fantastic. It is a long difficult trip and yet the tempo is done with a rhythm that doesn't tire, but makes us feel like walking there too. To desert lovers, this film will not disappoint you. It will make you feel "that feeling". I recommend this movie eagerly to all passionate hearts and the youth in general. This will be an unforgettable movie. During the movie I thought it had been directed by a woman, but I was wrong, so the director really did a great job by keeping the sensitivity of certain scenes that are almost mystical. I remember when I studied English my English book had an article dedicated to Robyn Davidson (in this movie portrayed by Mia Wasikowska) and I thought I would like one day to see a movie about her. There is was!
