I reckon y'all would like this movie called The Man from Snowy River. I did. It's about a boy who has to leave his home in the Australian mountains and go to the lower lands to live. He gets a job on this ranch that owned by the twin brother of a good friend of his daddy. Both parts is played by Kirk Douglas. I reckon he went over there to make it. The names of the twins in the movie was Harrison and Spur. I ain't never heard of twins whose names warn't similar. Like we got to old men twins here in Harper name of Ricky Ronald and Dicky Donald. That make more sense to me. Anyway Jim falls in love with Harrison's daughter, Jessica, and they have a big problem cause her daddy don't want none of that romance. Besides him and Spur has been feuding for many years. The boy becomes a man when he proves he can do real good at herding wild horses (brumbies.) There is one funny shot when, if you look real close, you can see a rider in and amongst the wild horses. But that's okay. The boy becoming a man was the important thing. Like my Jack become a man on his trip home. Of course Jack was a boy for a lot longer than this Jim in the movie.But that's alright.
