no one gave enough of a fuck about Aberdigitals to actually make a good movie about Aussieland the way the other parts of the empire got movies like Zulu
by the time they did, the only acceptable way to do it was the noble savage trope and demonizing the white people

>>217066955
Checked you filtered fuckin dipshit - prime San Giacomo, classic Rickman performance, Abbos getting slaughtered, this movie has it all
>>
The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978)

also doesn't help that Australia had hilariously puritanical ratings standards until the late 70s so no one wanted to film there

Picnic at Hanging Rock (dont download or buy 4k as the natural colours have been fucked with). At this point every Australian movie from the 70s is historical. Walkabout is the greatest movie set in Australia. Wake in Fright is the greatest film about Australians.

The Last Wave mogs it.

>>217066955
>Quigley Down Under

....weirdly enough, that's the closest anyone has gotten to making a movie about the "Black War"....

Burke & Wills (1985) is great. But don't confuse it with its parody film titled Wills & Burke.

DOT & THE KANGAROO

Why isnt there a whole "western" genre in Australia? Seems like it would be fitting and half of them were already actual criminals, im sure there was some kino around those times

oh my GOD did i beat my dick to those wonderful fleshy giant orbs

Mostly because Australia never had a strong film industry. I'm sure they would've made more if the money was there.
>>
You don't like Quigley Down Under you son of a whore I'll fucking kill you
>>
>>217067941

There is but because austrlia can only finance so many movies they only made a couple. America tried but it never caught on so they stuck with the classic view of the american west. Ned Kelly legend was famous in america.

is every australian a functioning alcoholic?

>>217068089
No, because many of us are non-functioning alcoholics.

Wasn’t this Ariel Sharon’s favourite movie?

Bushranger ban. Parts of Australia made it illegal to show movies about Aussie outlaws and this stunted their film industry.

What is this look meant to convey?
