The film prioritises his perspective (which is reflected in its title) and is at pains to show him behaving valiantly – including killing his own men for harming Indigenous people and a significant climactic moment I won’t divulge here.A semifinal is next for Adrian Mannarino in the Mallorca Championships, and he will play Yannick Hanfmann. But Johnson and screenwriter Anastassiades may also be held back by their fondness for Baker’s character. This has to do in part with gaps in time and geographical distances that separate them, as well as complex feelings Gutjuk has for Travis. But while the relationship between Billy (Baykali Ganambarr) and Clare (Aisling Franciosi) felt intimately close in The Nightingale, and likewise for the friendship between Hanif (Ahmed Malek) and Mal (David Wenham) in The Furnace, a sense of distance splinters the relationship between Travis and Gutjuk in High Ground the tensions between them feel under-explored. Like The Nightingale and The Furnace – two other recent westerns that ask important questions about Australia’s past – the relationship between a white principal character and a person of colour is core to the film. The director and screenwriter seem to be held back by their fondness for Simon Baker’s character. He reunites with Travis 12 years after the event, the sharp-shooter recruiting him as a tracker after his former police chief (Jack Thompson) asks him to help hunt down another survivor, the vengeful Baywara (Sean Mununggurr). Gutjuk is one of the survivors of the massacre and is subsequently raised on a Christian mission.
When on-the-run bandits and police burst into the community and wholesale murder ensues, the point has been made that this scene is not just about the destruction of a single community but of a culture, a people, a way of living. In the lead up to the first violent moment, Johnson depicts daily activities within an Indigenous community – a trio of men hunting for food, a young boy rehearsing spear motions – situated around an idyllic lake.
It feels weird for a white man to convey the key philosophy of a film that explores the brutal impact of settlement, though High Ground avoids the “white saviour” trope despite coming a little too close for comfort, with several moments of heroism and sacrifice establishing Travis as the moral centre of the picture.

Gutjuk takes Travis’s spiel about the high ground seriously, passing messages about how to “control and engage” on to other people. Travis (Simon Baker) and Gutjuk (Jacob Junior Nayinggul) in High Ground.
