Tahlia Halasz-Valverde “Is the Movie Australia representative of Australia (the country) or is it a Hollywood version of reality?” The movie ‘Australia’ involves many important aspects of Australian life that relate to our country both today and in the 1930s. As represented throughout most of the film, Australia’s landscape is barren and bare. It was appropriately represented showing the desert and dry areas of Australia and gives the correct impression of reality. Also, upon observing the landscape and vegetation, it portrayed in the movie low shrubs, boab trees and sand stone monoliths which are scattered plentifully through the Australian landscape. It perfectly represented the minimal amount of vegetation and types of vegetation that can be found in the real Australian bush and desert landscape. The very apparent struggle of the Indigenous community in the movie was what reality was around the time that the movie was made. For example, coloured people were not treated in hospitals, not allowed into bars and constantly looked upon as a lower version of the non- coloured people. Although the portrayal of the indigenous people and the way they were treated was correctly shown, in today’s day and age someone visiting Australia would not witness the same sort of discrimination as it has improved since the 1930s. Overall, I feel this movie is a very accurate portrayal of Australian life and culture in the 1930s but if comparing it to today, the outback and desert were well shown however the city or main town life is inaccurate as Australia as a country has developed and urbanized much more since the time of this movie. Indigenous Australians Throughout the entire movie, it was established from an early point that racial discrimination was a major factor in this movie. Constantly racist comments and stereotypes were thrown at the Aboriginal community and they were belittled from the beginning. Indigenous discrimination has been rife in Australia since the first British settlers in 1788. At first, since white represents spirits in the Aboriginal culture, they assumed the white people were their ancestor’s spirits. They helped cure th em of diseases like scurvy using different plant materials rich in vitamin C and they helped show them how to find sources of food. This made the first six months of the British settlers stay in Australia very comfortable, but when the Aboriginal people started questioning what they were doing and whether they were spirits at all. This then lead to the feud that is still continuing today. The image on the left shows the enslavement and imprisonment of Aboriginal Australians. They were later then sold to farmers and business men as servants and workers who were belittled and were in a life contract with their owners. Many steps have been taken to try to amend the divide in these two cultures in the past such as; preserving Indigenous and Aboriginal sites and protecting what is most precious to them, Aboriginal people given job opportunities and Kevin Rudd gave an apology speech in February of 2008 to acknowledge to wrong that had been bestowed upon the Aboriginals and the hope in the future to come. He apologized on behalf of Australia for the loss and suffering they went through especially regarding the Stolen Generation. This sparked a lot of disinterest but in the eyes of the Indigenous Australians, it was a step in the right direction. Aboriginal people have been displayed in many different ways throughout the movie ‘Australia’ that relate to what happens today, but also it includes inaccuracies as it was set in a different time period. This shows Aboriginals being enslaved and
