I watched this film last night. I don't have much to say. And perhaps that's because there weren't much dialogue going on throughout the entire film. It doesn't mean the storyline's no good though because you're bombarded with a lot of emotions to keep you pestered on the screen.

Samson and Delilah is a story about two aboriginal kids living in a poor community who fell in love with each other. Of course with stories such as this there must be a tragic ending but that ending soon changed into a very bright beginning. Samson, as it shows, does not have any parents and is living with a bunch of guys who plays music all day long. Delilah, on the other hand, takes care of her sick grandmother, brings her to the health center, brings her to church, feed her and basically she does everything a good grandchild does. Samson fell in love with Delilah upon seeing her while he was sitting outside of a grocery store and soon became a very creepy stalker who follows her around, throws stones at her and all these while not saying anything to each other. It's pretty complicated to tell how they got together but when Samson started courting Delilah, she didn't respond well to him and only when her grandmother passes away does she give in and they both start going to places together - inseparable.

It's just so tragic when Delilah was kidnapped and raped by "white boys" and it bothers me so much that she doesn't say anything to Samson about what happened to her. Even more tragic is when they were both sniffing petrol while walking in the street, cross the road, Samson walks infront and suddenly BAM! Delilah gets hit by a car. Well, Samson, being the "sniffer" that he is has an impaired hearing so when Delilah was hit he didn't even realise it until he realises that Delilah is not with him when he got home. Days passed and still she's a no-show so that's when I saw emotion from him. He cried and it's just oh so heartbreaking. Imagine this, she's the only one you love, the only one you hold on to because you have nobody else in this world and suddenly she disappears without you knowing. But then she kind of rescued him and took him home.

Well, it's just a really depressing film to watch. Talking about aborigines is something very very sensitive here so when you watch something like this your heart goes out to them and you pray that one day something will happen and their lives would just stopped being oppressed. I don't know but I give it 7 out of 10. It's very very good and if you're a high-brow film buff you'll know how good it is. Oh for these actors to portray the lives of their people is totally admirable. You do not see a lot of these films here although you would imagine they'd be a lot. That says a lot about the history of these people doesn't it? It's heartbreaking.
