The writer of this article mentions that âThe Sundownersâ has the traditional national identity of Australia as well as the industry when the film was made and released. Actually, it was a particular time when most of films about Australia were made by foreign companies like a Warner Brothers because of various reasons including economical, governmental and social circumstances. In other words, Australia had to represent their own life or story through the perspectives of overseas audiences which means it could be asserted that âThe Sundownersâ is not exactly representing Australian film. âThe Sundownersâ was the motive to present Australia to the world, and it was described as a magical country in this film by intention of the director. Images and scenes in the film are all fresh, mysterious and warm so that such factors could make audiences feel something new and imagine by their own way a country which is depicted in the film. As a result, Australia and an Australian life of 1920s were showed to overseas audiences through the film âThe Sundownersâ with their peculiar characteristics of the country. |
