'Broken Sun' is an excellent example of independent cinema: Bold, ambitious and intelligent.
I do not want to spoil the story to much for people who would love to see it. I can only say that it is set in 1944 in the Australian outback where an escaped Japanese soldier from a POW camp and an ex Australian soldier meet - needless to say that after that nothing will be the same. By the way, it is based on a true event - just in case you are one of those who love films based on reality.
What I really loved is the complex relationship between the Australian and Japanese characters. They are both tormented individuals though humane. There is no bad person or good person to blame or to praise. You, me, nobody can can judge or understand the real meaning of war unless you were there fighting with glory or scared to death.
Ultimately, the great success of 'Broken Sun' is to show the price paid by human beings when victims of deprivations, indignities and excessive pride. War annihilates people firstly inside and after outside. There is no return when we fight for something with weapons and regardless.
What a gem!!! It is a pity that it was only shown in a bunch of Theatres in Australia.
I am looking forward to watching it again on DVD.
