mateship develops overtime

the film ‘’the Castle’’ directed by Rob Stitch 1997 they use the three important values and concern in the Australian society are little Aussie Battler, important of family and the value of mateship. Provide the responder a distinctive Australian voice. The values and perspectives that shape our identity are represented in the text with the focus on the three main values. This message was conveyed through the dialogue, humour, music and film techniques. The song ‘’took the children away’’ by Archie Roach; it also expresses these values in a similar way using symbolism, lyrics, lighting and metaphor. Consequently we are able to connect to the Australian voice.
The language of the film that shapes our understanding of the Australian voices and the value conveyed e.g. the gift of giving and Darryl’s placement of present in the trophy room is a symbol for the value placed on family. The family is gathered for father’s day. A medium shot frames the family sitting on the sofa or the floor, very close to one another. The scene is filmed from the front, appearing very like a photograph. Their body language is relaxed, their facial expressions are smiling, with a look of devotion.
The value of mate ship in the film is clearly defined through a multitude of Australian voices as the Kerrigan’s battle against a powerful and ruthless business. “It’s not a house, it’s a home.. Its jacks castle, farouk’s castle”. The voice of mateship is expressed in the way Darryl is concerned and feels obliged to help his neighbours jack, Farouk and Yvonne. Jack is old and weak and reliant on Darryl to save him. Darryl even pays for Jack’s share of the courts costs. After the loss at the Federal court, Darryl feels guilty that he has let his mates down.
‘’they’re going to kick you out on your arse! Well bugger it, I’m not giving up jack. If they want to play by the fine we play by the law but they’re not the only big guns in town.’ Use of colloquial language, Australian idiom and
