Peeto: What makes you think that the girl wants a skinny yank like you when us real blokes are here? This quote is one of the many examples of the typical “Aussie bloke” that is portrayed in the film, Red Dog. Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am here to suggest the film Red Dog to the Australian film festival. I strongly recommend that the film Red Dog be exemplified in the film festival since it offers a reasonable and truthful depiction of Australia given the films time period. The film like no other nails the acts of mateship, gives an impeccable image of the Australian landscape as well as a fantastic representation of the Aussie male. During the movie a strong connection is created within two main characters which in turn

Every so often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual art that the public is drawn to this dramatic rendition of life in the theatre. For even just two hours or so, you are put into a different lifestyle. Action, drama or comedy it may be. We are thrust into a different way of thinking.
