Australia is considered a young country compared to other countries because it was founded around 200 years ago. Today, she still struggles with something of an identity crisis, trying to find her true identity. To try to define what is really considered Australianness, we will have to take the plunge. For example, in the Australian film, director Baz Luhrmann made a great effort to tell an epic story of Australia, but it still falls into the category of careless clichés of Australianness. We will now look at the poster for the film Australia and then analyze it to interpret how it represents Australianness. Let's take a look at the main color of the poster first, it's sort of a mix between mainly red and orange with a little bit of black. It’s the color of the outback; South Australia. It is the largest and most isolated part of Australia, consisting of dry, dusty deserts and few streams and rivers. This place was called "the dead heart" by early explorers because of its hostility towards its inhabitants (Erinn Banting, 2002). This area is an interesting place, contains the history of the gold rush and the history of these indigenous people, also known as Aborigines, who were forced to move to live here. They were driven out by white European settlers for all sorts of reasons. According to Peggy (1993, p.1), these reasons varied from economic to political reasons. In the film, there are many scenes filmed in wide angles to show the vast nature of Australia, including the outback, successfully depicting the wild and imposing beauty of this land. So, alongside the scenes, the choice of main color in the poster design did a great job of mentioning a famous...... middle of paper ...... of Australian culture when the fact that these white European settlers came from England. In these bad racist jokes, Australia is always seen as a country with a culture and history of convicts and criminals deported from England. Along with the problems, the wave of immigration is creating what is called multiculturalism, making it even more difficult to define what the true culture of Australia will be: Aboriginal, English or immigrant. You might think this is an impossible task. embodying Australianness in a single image such as a person, symbol or idea. It can be easy to assume that Australia as a whole is striving to truly find itself, but on reflection, this cultural diversity has made the Australian a true Australian. The definition of Australianness, also known as Australianness, will remain an interesting question to be resolved in the future..
