A majority if Australian films are naturally doomed to fail. The same reasons are always to blame because the filmmakers play it to safe and the films are really dark.
Than there is Paper Planes. This movie is a must see for all ages because of the irresistible whimsical tale that teaches us a few life lessons on the way and doesn't fail to connect with audiences,big or small.

This film deals with themes such as dealing with bullies, negotiating with peers,being sportsmanlike and mist importantly dreaming big,but as well as this the film poses an important question:is success just about winning or is it more important to be a good friend and make things beautiful,as told by Kimi (Ena Imai).

Paper Planes also shows its smarts between its characters and the famous Australian actors who voiced them. In this movie the specific talents of all the actors roles were well written and played in the film. All their expressions,appearances and lines in the script resemble the characters of the film. However there is a character who was quite undeveloped, Jason’s father, Patrick (David Wenham) let down his character by his expressions and lines which was dull and boring compared to other supporting characters like Kimmy who play a good part in the film and truly makes it an Aussie film.

Driven by brilliant actors,animation and adventure,with a whimsical story line,this movie is a must for all ages and even if it means you can't take of for a while,it will have your emotions soaring through the

    Paul Haggis’ movie Crash is all about different kinds of social and multicultural differences we observe. We look through a three-category lens made up of race, class, and gender. All of which play roles in stereotypes and assumptions we make about others. The film deals especially with America as it continues to grow as a multicultural society and also explores how racial intolerance and prejudice are collective problems for all of the United States.…

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    The sociological problems raised in the film included: the obvious of global warming, but it also introduces some sociological problems that relate to some of the theories that we have discussed in class. The three theorist that I believe that this film relates to form over the semester is Marx speaking on the Manifesto of the Class Struggle, which is prevalent in most societal problems, no matter the era. The other two theorists that the movie relates to is Dubois when he speaks of Double coconsciousness and the veil, and lastly, the film reminded me of Mills, and his description of the private individuals as “the idiot” who only thinks of themselves.…

    Cultural Identity

    • 1262 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The epic drama Australia, (2008), by award-winning director Baz Luhrmann, is the second highest grossing film in Australia’s history. Australia is set during the Second World War. A context and time different from ours and therefore one, which allows for an examination of cultural identity and those values, beliefs and attitudes which we as a nation have, normalized and some of which we have challenged. The setting allows cultural beliefs to be exaggerated and also contradictory to the majority of today’s beliefs, therefore creating a larger response from the viewer. These cultural beliefs – representations of the time – are both challenged and normalized throughout the film. This includes the belief that Australia was a typical wild-west nation and the cultural attitude that the indigenous race was inferior. These beliefs are fundamentally raised through the use of various writer’s filmic techniques. These techniques used by Luhrmann include the use of dialogue, symbolism, camera lengths and repetition. It is through these techniques that Luhrmann raises various cultural beliefs throughout the film.…
