The Giants (2023)

Review by timothymarkcadman

The Giants

7/10

An interesting movie, but entirely unbiased...

I enjoyed this movie, as a participant in many of the events described, and to see the evolution of a small 'l' liberal into Dr Bob Brown, a global environmental figure, and founder of a political movement that became one of the early Green parties. Bob's homosexuality, abuse as a child, and defence of his identity by his father, a policeman, and ultimately his whole family, helps explain why he has become the figure he is today. He is an everyperson. Hence his, and his party's, appeal. That story was beautifully told. The computer generated graphics of the trees were overblown, as was the political panegyric, as Bob, like all us, has feet of clay - he is a politician, first and last. Some of Bob's party's stumbling, like the privatisation of Telstra, the national communications carrier, and the critical error of destroying Australia's emissions trading scheme (condemning the nation to ten years of 'climate wars') were completely ignored. But well worth watching. Bob is not a god, nor a guru, but the Planet he speaks for, are, and we love him.
