Australian film Wake in Fright. Old movies from the 70's. It is still considered by some to be the best film in Australia.
Looking at the title, I thought it was a murder and robbery, or a gangster fire and the like, but it was not. The film tells the story of a rural primary school teacher from Sydney. On the way back to Sydney during the holiday, he arrived in a small town and was about to transfer to a plane. He lived in a small town, was overly warmly received by the locals, and...

It felt weird, uneasy. Ring (use the concept, count?) structure.
John Glenn, the teacher assigned to teach at Tibonda after a thousand bond. I am eagerly looking forward to leaving this little place for vacation and going to the big city to meet my girlfriend in Sydney. Mood is dissatisfaction with one's environment. When I changed cars at Yaba, a lot of things happened, which changed my mentality. I calmly accepted the current state of existence, and then went back to Tibenda after...

Going around and back to the origin
I am isolated from the world and get together in a
carnival. I go around and go back to the original point. Only killing yourself is a way of getting out of town. It was carried without any scruples, it was reddened by the scorching sun, and it was sobered by alcohol. The last sentence became a prophecy, and he stepped onto the "road to suicide" that Big Cap said casually and uncomfortably at the beginning of the film, and the male protagonist was just one of the many...

This is a story of balancing a regular life after releasing the animalistic and instinctive desires in the heart by struggling and tearing in the restraint and repression. The diffused air in the small town of Yabbada is mingled with indulgent hormonal fires. After coming to the town, following the guidance of this hormone, John Grant, a person who lives in a normal social system, is like a kangaroo witness, greed, violence, sex, and human relations are exposed to the spotlight and stared at...

Incomparable depression and despair. There is a sense of immediate vision of his own situation.
After reading it, I was extremely shocked, and hurriedly wrote down my own broken words, #見作#
Extremely depressed and desperate. The tears in the corners of his eyes when he was rescued are even more helpless to despair of life. In a strange town, due to greed and curiosity, he lost everything on impulse and fell into the quagmire step by step. Nightmarish place where you can't die.
In a small town, the emptiness behind the carnival of the residents, the confusion...

Wild beings play, their lives are consumed beer foam. Some parts of the film feel good, such as the 360-degree circle shooting at the beginning, hunting kangaroos. Don't take it seriously for a thriller. 3.4...

"Have a drink?" "No drink" "I invite you, let's have a drink together" "What's wrong with you people in this ghost place, your family members are killed and raped, the house is burned down and no response. Others don't talk to you. Drinking a cup is like being dug into the grave of one's...

The film can be regarded as "the best film in Australian history". The editing is so good that it can be regarded as a textbook level, and the soundtrack further expresses the impetuousness, anxiety and panic in the story. The actor played really well. When he lost all his savings in the casino, when he hunted kangaroos in the dark, and when he returned to the town again, several scenes were very...

The wild town adventures gather the free temperament of road films and western films, especially under the birth of Australian land, the most primitive parts of human nature are easily exposed, such as greed and sexual orientation, etc. The scene of killing the kangaroos was very well...

Jock Crawford: [after showing him the Two-up school] D'you get the idea now, Jack?
John Grant: Well, you just bet on whether the pennies come down heads or tails.
Jock Crawford: Yeah, that's right.
John Grant: You think this crowd will be at each other's throats when they settle?
Jock Crawford: Ah, there's hardly a fight. Each man knows what's coming to him, he just goes and gets it.
Jock Crawford: [on the current Two-up spinner] Yeah, Charlie always goes for eight hundred or bust. You gotta throw four heads in a row to do it, too.
John Grant: And what does he do with the winnings?
Jock Crawford: Well, nothing.
John Grant: [on Two-up] There's a nice, simple-minded game.
