Indeed, the reaction of American was good for example New York Times said the film is showing the original national identity of Australia with great scenery of the Australia outback. However, the evaluation of Australian audiences was that they felt uncomfortable when they are watching the film because imported actors are trying to imitate the peculiar accent of Australian. In this article, the writer also mentioned this film is not worthy for Australian due to the insufficient representative features of Australian life of 1920s. This could be argued that these kinds of statements and reviews demonstrate how reactions about the film differ depending on countries related to the nationality. |
