Good morning Selection Panel of the Australian Film Board. Today I am going to convince you that The Sapphires, directed by Wayne Blair is the perfect movie to enter the competition to represent Australia. The movie was released in 2012 and is based on a true story of four Aboriginal girls that tour around Vietnam in 1968 singing for the soldiers. The main parts of the movie that stood out were; how it demonstrated the Australian value of perseverance, the difference between each individual character

Wal-Mart and presenting some arguments proving that the success of the large retailer is due to consumers who choose always to shop from the place offering the cheapest prices. In his article, Reich states, “After all, it's not as if Wal-Mart's founder, Sam Walton, and his successors created the world's largest retailer by putting a gun to our heads and forcing us to shop there.” By this statement which is completely true and describing the evidence of consumer freedom, Reich is treating the financial

This late 90’s narrative structure film “American Beauty” narrates the changes in gender roles and how they have impacted society in contrast to the traditional male bread winners and female homemakers of past times. The characters in this film are defined through their sexuality in the roles they play. This film also relates to the theme of identity and explores

Wal-Mart is seen as a superstore around the world. Their low prices slyly attract customers to their products. It seems odd to apply a theory that was composed during the nineteenth century to this modern-day store, yet this theory is still relevant in current times. Karl Marx’s idea of capitalism and division between the bourgeoisie and proletariat are applicable to the corporation of Wal-Mart. Marx has predicted the global expansion of capitalism (Dillion 35).

The documentary titled Why Walmart Works: And Why That Drives People Crazy takes a completely different turn from the previous documentary we were just discussing. Rather than bashing Walmart for their mistreatment of employees, low wages, and horrible working conditions, this documentary does quite the opposite, showing Walmart in a much more positive light.

OLD YELLER This was one of my favorite books during my childhood days.

The Cabin in the Woods 1. Joss Whedon says that ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ is “your basic horror movie taken apart; five kids go to a cabin in the woods to have a fun weekend of partying and possibly sex… and are therefore dismembered”. Whedon and Goddard have in essence tried to create a movie with roots tied to the horror genre; it is simply your common slasher movie where the characters are killed off one by one till there is either one person left or none for that matter. ‘The Cabin in the

Sam Walton was known to be industrious, always trying to get the most out of money, and had a burning ambition to succeed. This was evident in his book Sam Walton, Made in America, My Story. He was a hard working individual who helped his family through the depression, started his own business from almost nothing and changed the field of management for ever.
