>tfw the entire australian canon revolves entirely around either abos, shitty abo legends, history about how the abos were enslaved, or avant-garde homosexual art house bullshit
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE JUST ONE FUCKING MOVIE OR A BOOK THAT'S ACTUALLY DECENT!!!!!!
WHY IS AUSTRALIAN CULTURE SO SHIT??????
well you've got ned kelly right
that's pretty cool

sounds about right
>>62158634
Have you ever watched a Mad Max movie?
>>62158634
Pretty much this. Literally. Look at even Overwatch.

>>62158676
I don't expect any other australian on this board to know about this movie and I am amazed that some french guy does too
>>62158614
I literally don't know what you people do over there. All I can think of when I rarely think about Australia is just a slightly stupider America but only in the desert.
>>62158674
We have a long running internal cultural conflict over male identity and homoeroticism which is reflected in movies like Wake in Fright where it's used as a horror element.
We make a lot of gay films.
How the fuck did you people mix with abos? I have never seen an abo that looked even remotely fuckable.
>>62158671
You trying to imply that that's gay?
>>62158634
Documentaries don't count.
woah...so this...is...the power...of...australian cinema....

Well, you're sorta Brit. Just inherit British culture.

It's pretty well known.

But you have Steve Irwin, Gallipoli, emus ,missing Prime Minister after a swim and the time you ruled Papua after taking it from Germany.
How hard is it to make a movie or vidya about them?
>>62159008
I'd play an emu simulator.
Australian culture seems to be divided into two genres: ultra-stereotypical "have a go ya mug" patriotism and ultra-ironic "I rape babies" leftist nonsense
You have slouch hats and short shorts

oh, I loved that film.
Didn't you guys have a wild west too? Or was that just america/mexico?

Who are some Australian intellectuals
>>62159071
But the all-aussie have a go stuff is made by leftwing comedians who got a TV show after starring in the Law Review
And the babyrape stuff is made by the kind of insane artistic types whose political outlook is more complex than just saying they're extreme leftists
>>62159148

What about exploration literature a la Voss?
I heard Australians were much richer than Americans, is that true?
>>62158773
You trying to imply that that's gay?

>Peter Singer
what key do i press to pay my respect
>>62159184
For most of the narratively interesting parts of Australian history (convict days, global depressions of the 1890s and 1930s) there was a huge divide between the rich and the poor but because the rich here got more of their wealth from agriculture they usually had more of a sense of their own personal struggle to utilise the land and open up the country.

It depends really. US min wage is $7.25, Australian min wage is $17.70, and individually we spend fuck all on healthcare but most other things are more expensive like housing, food etc.
Middle class Australians are probably richer than middle class Americans, but because of Hollywood and global companies, rich Americans are miles ahead.

Do we even have a proper film industry here? All I here about is the government giving tax breaks to major hollywood productions but that's about it.
>>62160969
Yes. There's plenty,they're just not that great on the global stage

abos are literally the only culturally unique thing about your country you fucking retards
you are nothing but anglo gypsies except they put you on an island.

Australia has a long history of art, poetry, prose, film, music, theatre and more you could learn about if you were at least a little interested.

Men At Work got sued for this song. They basically stole the tune from Kookaburra Sits in Old Gum Tree.

Does Australia have an "Unofficial anthem" ?

Lmao, I watched an Australian documentary about Uranium and it started and ended by talking about abo folk legends. Bit disappointing, though I did learn that the UK government did accidentally irradiate some abos when testing their new nuclear weapons in Australia.

>WHY IS AUSTRALIAN CULTURE SO SHIT??????
Because it's a barren island settled by criminals removed from any relevancy by its location. Nothing could've happened there.
>>62165434
says someone from a country, the only global culture input of which is being related to Croatia, with their Seious Sam series
Daily reminder the only time Australia was ever relevant was when it lost to fucking Emus.
>>62165656
that's one more time than canada
>>62165727
We burnt the White House that one time, sure it wasn't actually Canada but it still counts.

REDCLIFFE
>>62165873
I was facetious, but admit it: saying stuff you said about Australia (settled by criminals, removed from any relevancy by its location) is like saying Russia was founded by Peter the Great, accompanied with Rasputin
>>62165996
It is a barren island on the ass end of the world settled way too late with no real effort put into it (unlike for example America). If the Chinks expanded there, who knows.

I don't think normies find abbos particularly interesting. Modern pop culture is fare more fascinating towards most people. Nobody gives a shit about digeridoos, people still associate Australia with crocodile dundee outback bushman types and surfers with funny accents.
