VHS Movie Reviews of Storm Boy
Movie Review: Well made and sensitive children's movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Storm Boy won the Best Picture award from the Australian Academy when it was originally made and the trophy was well merited for this is an engaging and pictorially elegant movie that while aimed at children does not insult the intelligence of the adult viewer.
Based on an acclaimed juvenile novel of the same name ( by Colin Thiele)it tells the story of 10 year old Mike (Greg Rowe)who lives with his fisherman father (Peter Cummins) .His Dad is barely making a living ,the pair live in a delapidated beach shack and his Dad gets by selling his catch to the local fishmonger .Nearby there is a bird sanctuary and Mike develops a strong baond with a baby pelican ,encouraged by an outcast Aboriginal mystic,Fingerbone Bill (David Gulpilil)who bestows the Storm Boy nickname on Mike .
Mike and Bill are outcasts from their respective groups -Bill is a mystic and a nomad while Mike is isolated by poverty and his father's fringe status in local society
The story is one of the developing relationship between Mike and the bird and underlying this his coming to terms with who he is and how he can shape his own future
Ravishing photography of the rugged coastline of South Australia ,some assured direction and a neat script make this an unassuming pleasure very suitable for the family audience
