John Farnham: Finding the Voice (2023)

What a gloriousvsurprise

[9/10 · 27 May 2023]

I don't write reviews but I felt compelled to review this movie.

I went along for my husband because he likes Aussie music. But I am not a big fan.

I was drawn into the story and the background to how John Farnham became the legend he is. The earlier years were such a hard slog with very little recognition. It was only as he neared his 40s that his belief in himself as well as his manager and friend's belief that things changed.

So really this story is about his struggle to be seen as a great singer and musician. It is also about the enduring friendship between him and Glenn Wheatley.

By the end I was tearing up thinking of his struggle and realising how good his music is. Which is more poignant now because of the loss of Glenn and Olivia Newton John last year. Then came throat cancer and the realisation that he will never sing again.

A very emotional tribute that is well worth watching. It also made me realise that we should be supporting our local bands at the pub or any venue.

Vampires (2020)

OK to pass the time.

I think it is a little better than other ratings. It had a good story that was different to other vampire movies. So just go with it and not worry too much about anything deep.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992)

A true masterpiece

What can you say about a movie that has been with me since the day I saw it in 1972.

It is hard to describe what affected me the most - the beautiful scenery,the love stories or the superb acting. Definitely a must see that will haunt you forever.
