Walkabout (Film 1971) Through no fault of their own, the two children are stranded in the Australian outback. Without enough food or water, they must find their way back without any help. When they meet the native boy, the children are almost at the “end of the line.” To survive, they are forced to work and live according to the lifestyle of the native boy, which is (to quote) "an opposing spectrum, with which they are forced to coexist." » 2) The landscape depicted in the film is the Australian outback. The outback is nothing more than a desert. However, this setting serves as two different zones, depending on the point of view (of the children or the native boy). For the two children, this desert is an uninhabitable environment. They are not used to this type of place and have difficulty adapting. But the native boy is at home in the desert. He knows where to find everything he needs to survive. In this sense, the landscape plays a very important role. role in telling the story as it is.3) The invasion of aliens to a harsh new land can only refer to one thing, namely that the two children are unwittingly introduced into the back- Australian country, an environment to which they are not accustomed (so for them, it is a “new and harsh land”). Their inability to survive is demonstrated by their exhaustion when they reached the oasis. At some point, they used up all the available water. So in a way they were extremely lucky to have met the native boy. An example of their refusal to accept indigenous culture would be the girl refusing to undress in front of the indigenous boy, while her brother is very open. to accept this way of life.4)For me, the very last scene of the film is the most memorable. Not because they all swim naked in the pond, but because the girl really misses this way of life. It's exactly the same lifestyle that she refused at the beginning. And she wonders how, if she had "mated" with the native boy, she could have a much happier life than at the end of the film. The fact that her lifestyle that she thinks she would be happier in has been changed. changed really represents our value to me.
