Morning of the Earth (1972)
fantastic, worthy of multiple standing ovations
as cliche as it may sound, words cannot describe the beauty in which morning of the earth embodies. it is a story without words, of a group of surfers walking away from it all to live a rich and fullfilling life, surfing, growing crops, building surfboards, and smoking grass... morning of the earth was made during what is generally regarded as hostile time. vietnam was in full swing and many a young man feared being drafted into the military. albie falzon has reminded us that the earth is good, but all in all you have to make it on your own. just like the song says. highlights of the film include, michael peterson getting barreled off his nut at kirra (before the high rises, and only a few other blokes out), whoever the guy is in jean shorts ripping it up at angourie after he builds his own board, and the scene where the two aussies get the indonesian men stoned as. a tru classic.
