Being an Aussie I will watch any movie made here even though 99% of the time I shake my head at just how bad we are at making good films.
Most of them for some reason have to show the outback or the coastline. What, do they think Americans will eat it up just for that reason? A lot has changed since Crocodile Dundee you know!
In recent times there seems to also be this trend of making films based on a character struggling with their bland troubled life as he or she tries to raise a child and find work etc..
If we write a murder mystery again it has to be set in a rural town.
The stories are just so bland and I am not invested in the characters so I turn the film off after 15mins because I just don't care what happens to anyone and I am not going to waste my time finding out.
Our so called comedies are not funny, our action flicks have little action and will be based on something stupid like a giant squid or shark or crocodile.
We just don't have the ability to come up with any original unique interesting stories!
I watched Emily The Criminal last week and whilst it isn't going to win any oscars it was a great little story, one that could have been set here or any city in the world.
I cannot even name 5 good quality Aussie movies since 2000. It is embarrassing.
