Rabbit- Proof Fence

In watching the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence I found myself having great emotion towards the three little Girls, Molly, Gracie and Daisy. A few moments for me really stood out in the movie. The first was when the Mother and Grandmother were talking to Constable Riggs and there were saying that if the Devil-man wanted a "half-caste" child that he should marry a girl and have his own. The next scene is the policemen taking away the three girl, my heart ached for the mother and grandmother trying so hard to hold onto the girls only to be taken away in the car and driven away. The other scene that touched me was when they come across a lady named Mavis who I presume is to be a slave and she wants to help the girls and she gives them a place to sleep for the night. Only to have a man walk into the room where the girls are sleeping and he sees them and Mavis comes in and begs them to stay and says the man will not tell and he does so the girls have to run away in the middle of the night. My heart was pounding thinking that they were going to get caught. Also when Gracie decides to leave for the train station because a man they met along they way told the girls thats where her mother is and Molly and Daisy go a separate way. When they go back for Gracie and see her being taken away I was just think, how much more can these girls take! The final scenes when they see their mother and grandmother is just so heart warming, I am so glad that they did not walk those thousands of miles for nothing. When it was stated at the end of the movie that the search was over due to the lack of funds it just showed how bad they wanted these girls to pour so much time and effort into this search. Also when Chief Protector stated, "It is the bush native people who have to be protected against themselves. If only they understood what we were trying to do for them." What they were trying to do is extinct their generation, making it the "Lost Generation". I feel so bad for these small children who were abruptly taken from their loving homes and forced to live in a place where their identity was stripped so that they could become more American.
