	OZ CINEMA.com : Reviews : Jimmie Blacksmith
		As such, Jimmie is abused and exploited by the white population and ostracised from Aboriginal communities.
		Though Jimmie’s story is based on real events, the facts of Australian history have it that for more than one hundred years before Jimmie’s backlash, white Australians violently killed, tortured and persecuted the nation’s indigenous population to the brink of destroying the face.
		The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith is an intelligent tale whose evocative themes and discourses are as relevant today, in the midst of Mabo and Wik land claims, as they were when the film was released in 1978.

	The Cry of Jimmy Governor
		For Jimmy it was his right to marry a white woman, and he treated her with affection and acceptance, and love for the baby boy to whom she shortly after gave birth.
		Jimmy was born on a Mission run by the Anglican Church, baptised at an early age, and had white values instilled into him, along with an entirely false assertion that to be accepted by the whites, you only had to behave like them.
		Jimmy's open and accepting manner led him to believe this, and to spend his life in an attempt to belong to that elusive group, but even as he struggled to belong, he was breaking their moral code.

	Movietime - 20 May 2005 - Tommy Lewis and Yella Fella
		Tommy Lewis feels there are considerable parallels between the story of Jimmy Blacksmith - the fl man raised white, but never allowed to be properly part of a white world - and his own story as a yella fella, son of a white father and a traditionally educated Aboriginal mother.
		The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith was named by a screen directors' poll a few years back as one of Australia's best films.
		When Lewis as Jimmy Blacksmith ran amok on screen the scene was shocking, more so because Schepisi switched the film's point of view for this scene from Jimmy and his companion Mort to the victims of the attack.

		But I wrote of Jimmy's journey of disappointment and depredation in the first person precisely because, by the early 1970s, I and others were excited by a new awareness that Australia had an ancient map - as Bruce Chatwin would later say, a spaghetti of Iliads and Odysseys expressed in geological terms.
		The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, By Thomas Keneally
		A fictional retelling of the life of Jimmy Governor, who was educated as a Christian and married a white woman; but events led him to murder the family of his white employer in 1900 and flee with his brother Joe.

	Book Review - The True Story of Jimmy Governor - [2001] ILB 51; (2001) 5(9) ILB 19
		Born close to Denison Town (Talbragar) NSW in 1875, Jimmy grew into a hard working young Aboriginal man. He had been denied any sense of acceptance despite a ready willingness to work and his attempt to adopt a white working lifestyle.
		It was undoubtedly the intimate knowledge of country and bush skills of both Jimmy and Joe Governor that enabled them to avoid capture and to make a mockery of their pursuers.
		Despite it being one hundred years since the execution of Jimmy Governor, it is abundantly clear from an Aboriginal perspective that racism, prejudice, oppression, contempt and ignorance remain deeply ingrained in the psyche of this country.

	"The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith" Film Review: Cinephilia - Australian Film & more
		The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith (Fred Schepisi, 1978, Australia)
		Set in turn-of-the-century Northern NSW this is a powerful condemnation of the White Establisment's treatment of aboriginals and of racial injustice in general.
		Schepisi's solid script, though perhaps a tad too long, undoubtedly benefits from Thomas Keneally's original text, and the film is further enhanced by fine direction and camerawork (photography is by Ian Baker) and an excellent cast.

		Based on a novel by Thomas Keneally, which in turn was based on a true story (ala Schindler's Ark, which was also authored by Keneally), this film is a compelling tale of racial tensions, violence, and Australia.
		Directed by Fred Schepisi, the film follows Aboriginal Jimmy Governor (the magnificent Tommy Lewis) from childhood as he is raised by missionaries.
		Instead of fitting in with 'white society', as Jimmy hopes he can, he is ridiculed and laughed at for 'taking himself too seriously'.

	Moviehole.net - Interview : Bryan Brown
		The star of such greats as Breaker Morant, The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith and Newsfront has always supported the thriving filmmaking industry here and encouraging writers, actors and filmmakers to make a go of it Downunder.
		And although he toyed with Hollywood for a while in the late (Cocktail, Gorilla’s In the Mist, FX), these days, Brown likes staying on home soil, if only because that’s where all the great movies are now being made.
		It is. But what people are forgetting is that when we first started out — say in the last 70’s — all our films were great too, and all did great -The Breaker’s, The Sunday Too Far Away’s, Gallipoli, and Jimmy Blacksmith.

		The Australian idiom, combined with Kerr's accent--both are wildly appropriate--made it necessary for this listener, an American jogger, to go through the first tape twice.
		The aboriginal chant with which the recording opens is repeated at the close, by which time the music is freighted with meaning.
