Merry xmas

Since my original blog relating to the film Australia, I have been thinking and reading. My main thought strain has been regarding the water tank scene and the more I think of it the more significant this one scene is. Water is very spiritual. It is healing, it is symbolic of emotions and may be seen as the element that represents connections to the female and earth elements. This spiritual symbolism may be taken further as relating to the masculine barren dry land and the female water energy associated with forests and oceans. If I chose to view this film only according to natural element symbolism, I am sure I could see symbolism in almost each scene. I am most interested in the symbolic link between mother and emotion which is I believe the central theme of the whole movie. The implication that water is symbolic of the hidden truth tells it all. I have yet to read the link between water and aboriginal dreamtime. That is the next step.
