Backbencher

This movie is about a young girl names Sybilla. She lived in the Australian countryside with her family. When she is young her parents have to send her to her grandmother because they don’t have enough money to support her. She has dreams of becoming a writer and a poet. Her grandmother thinks if she is married it will be good for her. But she wants to discover herself before she becomes married. Later on in the movie she meets Harry, who is a rich station owner, and they both fall deeply in love with each other. He finally asks her to marry him but she once again says she has to find herself first. For two years they are apart and Sybilla is working as a governess for a station to pay off her father’s debt. Harry once again asks to marry her and she declines again on she hasn’t found herself yet. The movie ends with her writing a book about her life and it getting published.

The whole movie wasn’t too bad but the ending wrecked it for my self. So I was a little disappointed about that. She had a good life in front of her and she threw it away because she wanted to find herself and be independent.
