Why do you think the film would have been "a lot more realistic" if it had been set in America?
plus the astralian acsents are werid and hard to understad
Why do you think the Australian accent is "werid?"
Are you unfamiliar with accents other than your own, whatever that might be? share
Because more people are in america so its more relatable, and i thiught astralia was all dessert and this movie has cities and things wich looks more like amerca. is a weird accents because its just is i cant explain it and i hate it
shareHi Casey,
I asked because you said the film would have been more realistic if set in America, that's all.
That you think Americans would relate to it more if it was set in the US because there are more people in the US than in Australia is fine by me.
But that raises a question. Would you watch Chinese or Indian films?
China (1.38 billion) and India (1.25 billion) have the first and second largest populations on the planet.
The population of the US is third (only 320 million).
But if you did then you'd have to watch films with subtitles (as I do).
Anyway, as for Australia being all desert, well that's possibly because the country is pretty arid when you get away from the coast. The film is also set in Perth in Western Australia, which is geographically similar to California, and so has similar vegetation and climate.
As far as the Australian accents in the film are concerned, I accept that they're possibly hard to understand if you're unfamiliar with them. The accents used aren't typical middle class ones, either (as heard in a lot of Australian films, that is) but that's no reason to hate them.

They're what we like to call 'bogan' accents. There's a lot of hate on them in Australia (and as someone who has to tame her bogan accent I can say this - seriously, when his girlfriend spoke I got chills thinking that some of the things she said would have come out of my mouth). share
