Yolngu Boy.
Yolngu boy is a disappointing, Soul destroying, atrocious, and nauseating movie starring; Sean Mununggurr as Botj, John Sebastian Pilakui as Lorrpu, Nathan Daniels as Milika, Lirrina Mununggurr as Yuwan, Makuma Yunupingu as Matjala and Nungki Yunupingu as Dawu Director Stephen Johnson.
Yolngu Boy is about three Yolngu Boy (aboriginals) teenagers Botj, Milika, Lorrpu who had a dream of becoming hunters together, when they became teenagers, Botj who did bad things landed him in jail then he had a release from jail and Milika who is more interested in football and chicks! And Lorrpu who is trying to save their friendship. Botj who burns down the community centre puts him in jail again. So the three friends set off to Darwin to see Dawu the head elder to keep Botj out of jail.
The actors portray characters roles well but my expectations were not fulfilled because it was very slow moving and it was a bit full on I expected it to be more fast pace and run more smoothly.
There were lots of flash backs of memories and they lost the story line because you couldn’t tell when there was a flash back or the current events.
Yolngu boy has a lot of issues raised for example drug use and living conditions. Chroming was used by Botj, Chroming is where you sniffing chrome based paint some long terms affects are; heart, liver and kidney damage, loss of hearing, damage to the bone marrow, anaemia, weight loss, sneezing and coughing, nosebleeds, depleted supply of oxygen in the blood. The living conditions were very poor for the long grass people they had little tent with barely any shelter and mattresses to sit on they had no bathrooms barley any food
The film Yolngu Boy is a film that is not for everyone and I feel that you should watch the film before you make a judgement of the film.
