Rabbit Proof Fence
Q1. 'Rabbit Proof Fence' highlights how experiences change our point of view. Discuss.
Can you imagine being an Aborigine? Living in the outback? Hunting for food? What would your point of view be if you were brought up that way? Or maybe you were a white person. What would your point of view be then? What would you think of the Aborigines and their way of living and the way they were brought up compared to you? All the different experiences people have such as how we are brought up, our beliefs and religions, the way we live or go about normal life and what we are taught and how we are taught effects how each of us see things. 'Rabbit Proof Fence' directed by Phillip Noyce clearly shows us the differences and similarities between white people and their experiences and Aborigines and their experiences and how their experiences change their point of view.
Our beliefs and religions are a big part of our lives as it discriminates people into different groups. Such as if you were a catholic you would believe in god and believe that we were helping the aborigines by taking children away from their parents and their natural surrounding when that is actually their way of life and part of their religion and culture to live in the type of surrounding they live in such as their religions and beliefs are also effected by what they are taught.
Mr Neville a character in the movie has been taught by his culture and religion that he and other white people are more superior than the Aborigines and that they were a whole different race.
And it shows that in the movie by having certain views of him that make him look more superior than the women who are watching his slideshow, with him using a stick to point at the Aborigines.
He then talks about the Moore River Settlement and how it is a good thing, and how he says they will be "brought up to be given the benefit our culture had to offer”.
Aboriginals have a totally different religion and beliefs, this has to do with
