Walk about
The first 10 minutes of walkabout shows us a contrast between two lives. The aboriginal lives and westerners. At the start of the movie we are faced with a "perfect" world. Girls go to girl schools and boys go to boy school. We also see that the world is so big between the people with high fences and grey uncoloured brick Walls.
Were also shown our the siblings are close and the mother and father in a family don't show love to there children and we are faced with this world of families without love. Nature creeps into a house with a woman having a few pot plants. The mother and father don't acknowledge each other and the marriage is artificial and they don't communicate.
The first scene in the movie shows us a brick wall. We see the brick wall as how it shows separation between worlds and people and its an artificial separation. It also shows us that is film shows a closed society and not very open. And it contrasts with the outback as there are no brick walls or fences and the worked is more open to everyone and everything.
The image of the peoples legs is showing us how impersonal the city is and how there is a lack of personality Nd individuality is this city.
The visual of the school shows us how robotic the girls are how perfect students need to be.
This clip shows us that buildings overpower humans. And how the enormity of these high rise
buildings show how weak a human can be. These urban structures cut off a lot of natural light
and nature.
The film makers also portray the father as a man who is depressed and has a lot on his mind.
