Judging from the poster, it's some historic romance where white people have drama with brown people being wise, magical or exotic in the background? Probably the story is about how devastating it is for the main couple to live amidst what would be the brown people's tragedy? They probably save at least one?

Am I close?

Oh boy

Fuck me, that's worse than I thought. Sounds like a corny romance novel from the 80s with heaps of Magical Negro and White Saviour tropes.

And there's a Chinese character named "Sing Song". Seriously, fuck Baz Lurhmann for this racist garbage.

I think the character literally sings songs, so that's his nickname in the movie?

But you're not entirely wrong

... yeah, still sounds like the sort of "hilarious" nickname a white person gives a Chinese person because they think it that's what their language sounds like.

Pretty much! Ever heard of the "Magical Native American" trope? It's a bit like that, but with indigenous Australians instead. There's also good old "us two conventionally attractive English-speaking white people have such a tormented love because social stratification".
