I had only ever seen parts of this when I was very young, never the whole thing. Such a beautifully moving film and tender love story. Mel Gibson is just wonderful in it, but all the performances are excellent. Australia produced some great films in the 70s; what a whole different time it was, though. 這是一部高品質的電影，在現今的電影市場實屬難得：它優雅、真誠、溫暖，充滿了超越世俗表象的人性真諦。簡而言之，這是一個美麗而樸實的故事，它以其獨特的方式向我們訴說著生命的意義，以及超越我們自身的一些本質的東西
