If anyone in Melbourne can be bothered there is a 4 window display in the Myers window on the Bourke Street mall.

My camera has had the clap for a while so this is as good as i can get them.

I can see from the reflection in the glass that its Bourke Street Mall, but what shop?

Myer Emporium

Its a shame they did not organise this exhibition prior to the Launch of the movie, (which I havn't seen) it may have helped put BOS* I think I'd realy be more interested in seeing a three and a half hour movie about that hatbox

In terms of $ return the film was a success

it was critically mauled

this is window dressing rather than a full blown exhibition

Thanks for the shots. I saw the film for the first time last night and I enjoyed it. The only bit of costuming I didn't like was Hugh's hat, which you see in the window above. Everyone else had great hats. I particularly liked the way the Aboriginal culture was woven into the story.

I haven't seen the movie yet either - I will though, it's been on my list for a while, and I'm not really a "hat guy" but I for one love the look of that hat. I have no idea of it's authenticity or whatever, but to me it looks extremely adventurous. I assume it's Akubra? Now to me Hugh's pants look too narrow for that time period.

The movie is more about a precocious Aborigine boy than either Kidman or Jackman's characters. Unfortunately he is perhaps the most annoying child ever put into a film, and spends the duration of the story yammering on in a stereotyped Pidgin English that makes him sound like a Native American character in a 1950s western movie. ("Gotta get cheeky bulls into big bloody metal ship!") Kidman and Jackman's characters are basically there to usher the kid's story along-- largely preventing it from becoming, as Luhrman had hoped, the "Australian 'Gone with the Wind.'"

The movie will also be somewhat insulting to anyone familiar with Australian-- or world-- history, as part of the climax and the death of a major supporting character hinge on a depiction of the Japanese engaging in a land invasion of Australia following the bombing of Darwin.

Alden, I must've walked right past those on Saturday without even noticing. Must've missed them dodging all the F1 crowds in town over the weekend

My tram stop for work is Bourke and Swanston so I'll pop by for a look after work today. Thanks for posting the pics.

Australia was pretty lame. Apart from Nicole's riding apparel and that first suit (which I did love), it was nothing to it at all, not for me at least.

agreed

much of the film was lame but i still enjoyed most of it
