How accurate was "Wake In Fright" in terms of depicting life in small-town Australia...

How accurate was "Wake In Fright" in terms of depicting life in small-town Australia? Do people actually gather in bars to bet on coin-tosses? Do they actually get drunk and drive out into the bush to shoot and fight roos? Does the isolation really turn girls into desperate lascivious sluts? Etc.; etc.

Yes.

Oh wow this is a new one, how about redpilling our sheeple with your secret arcane knowledge, Mr Completely Rational Conspiricist Who Has No Personal Agenda At All?

Not him but that shooting is suspect as fuck.

I lived in a small "town" (town is a massive stretch - it was a pub and one part time petrol station) in rural Queensland. That was in 2002. So long after this film was made.

And it really wasn't all that different. MASSIVE amounts of drinking. Lots of violence.

Lots of generally weird shit too - I had a TV in the pub that had plexiglass over it to stop it from getting smashed. They would sit there and watch hardcore porn. One night we were watching McCleods Daughters, and all they wanted to talk about is how bad those bitches would get raped if they were around here.

Guns everywhere. Lots of animal killing for amusement.

I went out drinking with one guy one night, and we met some of his friends. They tied a couple of cows to a fence and just took them apart with shotguns. Not really hunting I guess.

I also went to one of those traveling boxing carnival things and watched drunk chicks just fucking smash each others faces in.

Only different is that the slut in Wake In Fight is much hotter than the actual irl bush pigs.

I haven't seen it but yeah that sounds about right except for the two-up thing which people only do because its legal only on ANZAC day so its a tradition for some.

Drove past the shooting as it was happening.

Well, I wasn't driving, my friends dad was. But we were sitting in the back seat. Didn't know anything was happening until we got home and my friend came running up the street screaming to turn on the radio (lel).

I'd believe he did it. He was a known weirdo. He did the bulk of the killing in a place where you'd have to be trying to miss and even then you'd probably fail.

The suspicious stuff to me is how the investigation was handled regarding the guns.

Interestingly the mate I was with when we went past there and who ran up to yell at me to turn on the radio was a full blown conspirytard on that issue and others. He completely believed it was faked.

see it when you can, it's quintessential aussie outback kino

blonde in blue tank is cute also far right

Brought "ya" "sarm" from America, "mate"! "Gawn" have a "swig", "cobber"!

The shooting footage used in the film is actual real "hunting" footage, the director paid some aussie hunters to go with them and his camera man to film them "hunting", which just ended up being a drunk slaughter of way too much roos.
You can find the interview with the director on youtube.

>legally retarded man manages to shoot better than a trained soldier
Tell me more so I can laugh at how fucking dumb you are mate.

I grew up in Moura which is central rural queensland. It was more of a town though.

But same shit, massive drinking, everyone knew everyone, everyone was just at the local hotel/pub every night.

Theres also a massive gender imbalance to guys in country towns in Australia (opposite in the major cities where girls waaaay outnumber guys) and we call country girls in Australia bush pigs for a reason, THEY ARE NOT HOT..

I don't remember people fighting kangaroos, but people do kill A LOT of animals with rifles. Kangaroos, Goats, Pigs and in QLD there are fucking Cane toads EVERYWHERE at night, you legit cannot walk without stepping on and squishing cane toads.

In Australia there are things called BnB balls which is where girls from larger regional towns mix with guys from smaller country towns and basically massive disgusting orgy's happen.

Vice doco going to one, they're the worst shit ever.

The movie is set in Broken Hill (I think, or a fake version of Broken Hill) and the two up is an illegal game in the back of the RSL

Pointless now since the whole RSL would just be legal poker machines.

Also, I was googling for video of two up;

>The only legal day to gamble in a pub!

What the fuck? Where? It's been legal to gamble in pubs here sincce I was a little kid back in the 80's.

Any pub now has slots, dogs, horses, sports betting, etc etc.

>Shoot better than a trained soldier

Except that never happened?

>He can't hit a stationary object the size of a football laying motionless directly at his feet

YOU might actually be retarded.

patrician taste mate.

they are all so sexy to me! what a priviledge to lick they pusy it would be!

...

>I forget which day

It's fucking ANZAC Day you unAustralian cunt. Get the fuck out.

>Do people actually gather in bars to bet on coin-tosses?
two up is not played any longer

>Do they actually get drunk

Drinking is a part of Australian culture

>and drive out into the bush to shoot and fight roos

Maybe shoot. Not fight.

>I don't know a thing and cant think for myself and just regurgitate paranoid accusations that stroke my trigger
No its not
He was not legally retarded, people misrepresent his intelligence and act like he was a downie or something
He lacked emotional maturity and self control
He was quite capable of functioning on a basic level in society

>How accurate was "Wake In Fright" in terms of depicting life in small-town Australia?

What kind of idiot watches Wake in Fright and thinks this?

...

And yet we are still one of if not the most successful countries on earth. How fucking bad is everyone else doing?

not him.
I highly doubt a downie like Martin could reload while still having a round in the chamber en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia)

It's a heightened reality thing but shockingly accurate

>And yet we are still one of if not the most successful countries on earth. How fucking bad is everyone else doing?

I'm diamonds.
Where is this from ?

a culture of excessive drinking is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a people

He'd had and used guns since he was a kid and received his first air rifle
its what they did in Tassie even if the kid was weird and stupid
He was well known in the neighbourhood growing up using the air rifle and other guns on neighbours pets and wild life

Most of the shootings occurred at close range, like in the tightly packed cafe where even Stephen Fucking Hawking would have been able to shoot most of the people.

You want suspicious, consider this:
Two people who left him sizable inheritances died with him in the vicinity

The first was an elderly heiress he'd been hanging out with, possible was involved with sexually, who died in a car accident which he claimed to have blanked out during. He was known to at times grab the wheel of the car and pull it hard for fun when they were out driving.
She dies, leaves him her fortune, her house, cars, etc

Then his father dies, he drowns himself on the family farms reservoir.
With Martins diving belt wrapped around his neck.
Martin was reportedly very excited to help the police and emergency services search for him.

you dont actually believe this do you?

If you aren't swiss you literally have no basis for calling Australia shit by comparison.

>They tied a couple of cows to a fence and just took them apart with shotguns.
That's sounds quiet brutal but I guess I would be a drunken outback degenerate killing animals for fun as well if I lived in small rural town in Queensland.

>No it's not
Stunning refutation you cunt.

you're keeping the "refugees" out though, so major props for that

unregulated gambling is illegal so you understand now if the government doesn't get their tax it's illegal.

the chick in the middle seems so out of place to me she seems like inner suburbanite that went to party at some hillbilly gathering.

I live in a country that allows me to own as many guns as I want and doesn't have bar lockouts i'd say that's pretty good enough

>Live in third world shit hole
>But I got guns so it's fine

Good for you m8

>Live in third wold shit hole
>Can't own guns but big daddy gubment will surely protect me

Your guns ain't going to bring your living standard anywhere close to the average Australian.

I've been shooting for a decade now and I couldn't even begin to come close to how well he performed.

Not in my experience, no

Yes absolutely

All girls are sluts

I live in a pretty small town of 600 people, on the island of Tasmania. AMA, reddit

you can own guns...?
just gotta go through the red tape to get em

Did Aronofsky rip off this scene for mother!

my experience in Tasmania is that every second girl you meet is related to your mate and is a slut.

that and fucking driving around at night on country roads is a death notice with the amount of wallabies and wombats you guys have.

>and doesn't have bar lockouts
That's only Sydney

A Sup Forumsbabby is born.

Pretty accurate. Though for a town that size there was way too many cunts in the bar unless there's a fuckload of ranches nearby.

Two up (coin tosses) is also unironically a huge tradition though most coasters only do it on anzac day (Veterans day?)

As for sluts, check out youtube for some video of B&S balls (Bachelor and Spinsters). Aussie chicks are sluts.
