What do those of us who loathe the film want? How about a credible lead character? Instead of a compulsive gambler who never loses. I find Lucinda's love for Oscar completely unbelievable. Lucinda's character is underdeveloped in the script, but played all-out by Cate Blanchett. She and the scenery (crossing Australia and the church on the river) are the only redeeming features of an atrociously bad movie.
