Title: Very Unlike the Book
Review: This was a very confusing and inaccurate movie adaption of the book "Walkabout". I read the book for 7th grade English, and it is very beautiful and moving. It gives information about Australian plantlife and about the Aboriginals. Sadly, the movie is very different, and it is very untrue to the book. Some examples of the mistakes: 1. In the book, the kids are from South Carolina, but in the movie, they are from Australia. 2. In the book, they are in a plane crash. (In the movie, the father tries to kill the kids, burns the car, and then shoots himself.) 3.The girl is supposed to be 13 and the boy is supposed to be 8. In the movie, the boy acts like he's 3!!! 4.Although I can see why they would do this, the boy isn't supposed to be wearing a loincloth. He is supposed to be naked!!! And that's just in the first 15 minutes! So if you really want to know the story of Walkabout, read the book, don't watch the movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
