These are details that have been missed by the average film reviewer.

In addition to outlining the story and explaining some of the locations, some of the many authentic details that Baz Luhrmann wrote into the sets, the dialogue and the story are highlighted below. Despite what some film critics say, it's not actually a cut-and-dried story - conflicting angles are brought up - but unfortunately the average film reviewer isn't bright enough to realise that Baz has presumably been very deliberate in raising complicated issues (from indigenous drinking, encouraged by well meaning whitefellas, to the racism by recent arrivals in the country, adoption, etc). The main ones are indigenous history and cultural traditions, colonisation & migration WWII and the Japanese bombing of Darwin and life on a remote northern cattle station with a poignant story of love, humour and tragedy woven amongst it all.
