George McAlpine: Tommy, your performance yesterday was an embarrassment. Now you want to go away to some music college, and you're not even good enough to impress a bunch of graziers? You're a cocky, Tommy. Everything else is just a road to nowhere. Now, listen to me. We have bled and sweat our lives into Harmony Station. Through drought and rain, that land has supported McAlpines for three generations, and if you want to throw that all away to pursue some worthless folly, at least have the common sense to find something you're good at.

Inspiring and dare to say it, a masterpiece

BROKEN HILL isn't certainly a remembered movie. After all it has only 6 reviews with three that give it 10s and the most recent for it written in October 2019 that gives it a 3 which is somewhat sospicious. Yet last June I finally saw it and I could see why some love it.

Tommy McAlpine is a teenager that works with his father George (Timothy Hutton) in the Australian outback herding sheep but Tommy is bored of this lifestyle and wants to become a musician with disastrous results and the dissenting opinion of his father. But after Tommy nearly destroys his dad's car and ends in jail for drunk driving he is given to chance to make an orchestra with some prison inmates and surprisingly enough, it's a success. There would be some trouble along the way but no matter what happens, Tommy has finally achieved his dream of being a musician.

In the beginning it looked ok, with Tommy and his dad working in the Australian outback, his meeting with Kat and the car accident. But after he becomes the band leader it became greater because it can make you believe that you can make your dreams come true even with the most unexpected people (considering his band is formed of prison inmates). And the ending made me feel emotional for obvious reasons.

Overall, nice acting, an inspiring concept, great music... all this makes for some unique viewing and a movie that is worth your time.
