I like watching movies. I especially like “Rabbit Proof Fence” in foreign movies. This is the story that is described about aborigine from 1931 to 1970. I didn’t know about Aborigine in detail before I watched this movie. White rulers tried to adapt children of mixed parentage with aborigine to white society. They isolate children from their family.
These main characters are three girls. It was terrible that deal with aborigine. Children of mixed parentage didn’t permit to marriage aborigine to make them marry white people. It has meaning that extinguishes black skin. White rulers thought that white skins are intelligent. Three girls were also found by white rulers, and they took to an asylum after all. If the children didn’t listen to white people says, they are punished. They had to work, spoke only English, and urinated in bucket there. So, native people called white rulers for “devil”.
Finally, three girls were carried off. They lived for a few days, but one of girls couldn’t put up with it. Then, she decided that she and other two girls run away, and they met their mother who is at home. However, one of girls whose name is Gracy was caught by white ruler on the way. So, the other two girls aimed for their home. They couldn’t eat anything many days, and they tumbled, but they kept walking 1500 miles for 90 days that they believe their mother is over the fence.
At last, they arrived at their hometown. They and their mother were glad and cried. Then, they lived not to find for white rulers. They married native people, and bore the baby. However, she was also carried off, and she couldn’t meet her mother again.
This story is an adaptation of the true story. This movie was shock to me because I didn’t know such fact until now. I know only thing that white people thought they are superior to black people. I became sad that Japanese did such a same thing for Ainu. I thought that we take this fact, and we have to tell our children and make the world not to do that thing. (360, total 8382)
