Comments

The references played a big part in making this page, however, i found some references where way more useful that others. For example, Eve Bailey's Australian Rules webpage was the most information filled reference i used. It is in depth and correctly analysed. In contrast the article from theage.com was way more focused on the controversial side of things. As 'Australian Rules' is a touchy film about an interracial friendship, this article decided to focus more on the racial problems. Although The age article had limited information, i was still able to gather a lot of knowledge on the racial issues of the film.
