Finally, I watched the movie. One of the things I felt obliged to do before leaving Australia. It was a good entertainment with too many cliches and bad lines. Gut-wrenching bits were the references to stolen generation and white Australia policies. Nicole Kidman has some funny lines but I think she's been around so long, has been consumed so much by Australian media that I had the perception of her as a media celebrity trying to act.It was, as if watching my sister acting.
Of course than you are being dragged away from her performance. She should not appear this much on around. She should remain in the silver-screen, exclusive to that domain.
Can this be a haunting diseases lurking for celebrities in the info-tainment era of the media ?
Like, how can I watch any Tom Cruise movie without remembering his Scientology stints ?
The excessive reproduction of an actor or actress's image on media must have some negative correlation with her/his ability to carry audiences away with the plot on the screen.
