"Rabbit-Proof Fence"

I thought this was a good movie, but I do not think I would watch it again. I prefer movies with a storyline that I can relate to, and since I have never been forcibly taken away from my family, I can only imagine what it was like for Molly, Gracie, and Daisy as they were taken away from their family and forced to be civilized so as to have their Aboriginal heritage “bread out” of them, like the rest of the half-caste children being held against their will at the Moore River Native Settlement. It was unbelievable how racism against Aborigines was portrayed in this movie, and the native people had every right to call Mr. Neville “Mr. Devil” because of how he was separating families and, ultimately, destroying the Aboriginal culture for the people being affected during this time period. In a sense, I look up to Molly, Gracie, and Daisy’s determination to pull through and get back home because, at such a young age, I’m surprised that they did not stay at the school or give up, especially when the rabbit-proof fence ended in the desert. Overall, this movie made me feel good knowing that Daisy and Molly were able to see their mother and grandmother again and, despite having to deal with the law which began this whole ordeal until the 1970s, the two were able to live out their lives.
