1:29 the rejection wasn't because of her class, it was because the rumours of her husband releasing Charlie Burns spread. Most apparent in the butcher scene. My favourite movie, by the way. :)
I've always been a HUGE fan of Westerns but it wasn't until I saw Bone Tomahawk in 2017 that I even HEARD of The Proposition! And, just like having ignored Bone Tomahawk for almost two years before finally watching it, I was super annoyed that The Proposition went under my radar for even longer! Bone Tomahawk may have instantly become my absolute favorite Western (and possibly even favorite movie in general) but The Proposition shot up the list too and remains one of my top 10 favorite films, I'd say! The Australian Outback setting is even more unrelenting than the American frontier, or maybe hostile is the word! Great vid, bud!
Was honored to see this film at the Cinerama Dome on Sunset Blvd, presented by Danny Huston ("Arthur Burns") when it first came out, with a Q&A when it was over... one of my favorite character actors, part of one of the all-time great cinema families, giving his best performance ever! Still one of the best films, with one of the great scores and screenplays, of this century.
I agree with everything you said I just watched this yesterday bought the 4k box set just heard about it from a RUclipsr 6 days ago you've said it all I've got nothing else
This was and is a magnificent film.- on many levels....and your analysis does it justice - really, a very good job - but (forgive me) your (flat monotone) delivery could do with some work - but otherwise great job
Both frontiers, the Australian Outback and the American West, do have similar historical themes of colonialism and the civilizing of wild lands. But both environments are so different from one another. I'd say Australian has a much harsher climate.
yes i agree with @musical euphoria it does take the tropes of american westerns, but subverts those familiar conventions. also the themes in this film are unmistakably Australian and have been drawn from themes from many classic australian films although anyone can enjoy this film , it really appeals to the australian psyche. perhaps if you were to convert it to an american film it would get lost in translation just like what happened to many australian exports that were ruined when re made in america, for example , kath and kim

My all time best film

Awesome well done mate. My favourite movie
hey man, very good analysis!
Nicely said. No BS. I like the film, having seen it many times, but you framed the ugly nicely.

People call it a Western but imo it's an Australian Bush Ranger film not cowboy's.
Beautiful movie, great video 👍
Great ! I don't watch much new stuff, just going deeper into old stories . . .

this helped with my media notes thanks
is it me or is this just too quiet to hear with everything switched up to the max?
I'm having the same problem, so it's not just you.

Interesting analysis
I always wondered if it could be
Great analysis, I always wondered if it could be set in the American Southwest, what do you think?
no chance at all

@@harvtek Thank you for the reply! BTW, I'm Australian but I've always wondered what the film would be like in a more 'traditional' American style.
any red dead fans here because they watched arthurs character mention the movie in a interview?
The plot seems pretty similar to RDR 1's story revolving around John Marston. Sorry it took more than a year to respond.
