The Last Confession of Alexander Pearce (2008)
A captivating confession of cannibalism
Alexander Pearce was not a hero, he was not a character that you immediately feel sorry for; but he was a man who lived in the most desolate penal colony in Australia. A man driven to escape from the cruelty he endured. A man who yearned for his freedom and would do anything to survive the harshness of his surrounds. The documentary is cleverly driven by narration from the man who he confessed to, a Catholic priest and fellow Irishman. It captures the ruggedness of the bush, the desperation of the human condition and the cruel and barbarous English occupation of Tasmania. The Last Confession of Alexander Pearce is a well paced, well told and captivating confession of cannibalism.
Australia (2008)
Our first blockbuster
This film captures the heart of Australia and the Australian people. I have visited most of the places filmed here including Bowen and i must say that the film is the best from our shores in a long time. With shades of "We of the Never Never" and echoes of a Japanese threat this film has everything. Bryan Brown and Hugh Jackman and our first Lady the beautiful and talented Nicole Kidman.
I reject the previous reviewer. I don't go to the movies for the actresses and I bet that the reviewer just echoes the critics of Nicole Kidman. A shameful evaluation. I go for the story and this story is as strong as a barbed wire fence.
You Beauty!!
