This boy has recently become an Aussie hero. When you watch the clip below, you'll see why. Knowing a bit about Australian identity and values, you should be able to understand why this "underdog" story appealed so much to people across the nation.
In a way we have already touched upon the topic of bullying talking about subcultures. Pity we didn't have a chance to watch Romper Stomper.
Here is the trailer again.
On a slightly brigther note - a trailer for Muriel's Wedding.
And here are two movie tips. Both films are a perfect illustration of the topic of youth problems.
Both deal with the insecurities of young people: loneliness, lack of understanding, problems with defining one's identity, lure of the big world and its temptations, and so on...
Both star a very talented female - Abbie Cornish - who is well on her way to become next Cate Blanchett.
In both she co-stars with two Australian actors representing the young generation whose potential has been recognised by Hollywood.
Here are the trailers for you:
Candy (2006)
Somersault (2004)
