The anti-war satire is based on the true story from 1930s Australia when the country’s military declared war on a population of flightless birds. And lost.
, it was basically everything I had been hoping to find in one serving. It was a biting satire, a hilarious comedy and it had this massive action-adventure component, because there’s an actual war against these emus. There’s also this heartwarming drama component as well. I know all these elements shouldn’t fit together. But they do!
Over a series of four different battles with different types of weapons, the military, the same military that had recently won World War I, could not defeat these emus. Eventually, they gave up. They basically conceded defeat. There were newspaper headlines at the time which are just hilarious. They talk about how the emus seem to have squadron leaders who are outmaneuvering the Australian Army. So that’s all true.
So our story is primarily about Harry’s life unraveling, his sense of identity unraveling, his belief that he needs to become his father in order to get his father’s approval, all that unraveling. What happens is he meets a young woman, a Noongar, an Aboriginal woman, who wants to preserve the emus and the land. She sort of opens up his eyes to the idea that you can become a hero in a different way.
We have a very cute baby emu character called Emmie who becomes a prisoner of war and a villain emu called Blue who is sort of like Spike fromDr. Bird’s Advice for Sad Poets
