More Australian Gothic Movies

True History of the Kelly Gang (Justin Kurzel) – queer, punk, postmodern retelling of the famous outlaw’s story. This one is a lot, very emotionally heavy, pretty fuckin Freudian, but also cross dressing and bucket helmets!! 

The Hunter (Daniel Nettheim) – Tasmanian Gothic film starring Willem Dafoe as an American mercenary-hunter hired by a military corp to hunt down the last living Tasmanian tiger. Very broody and beautiful in its starkness. Found family + care for the environment are major themes. Liked this one more than I expected.

Jasper Jones (Rachel Perkins) – coming of age film set in the 60s, dealing with all sorts of Gothic themes: murder in a conservative suburb, the decay of the family unit, ingroups and outgroups. Based on the YA book, which is also pretty good! At first I was like uh oh is this another “white boy learns about racism” story but it’s more than that – Toni Collette is in it as well and does a fantastic job, as per usual.

Fate's Refusal to Honour (or at least properly research) Depictions of Non-Japanese Figures 2: Electric Bogaloo ft. Wandjina from the Current JP Summer Event

Disclaimer: While I am an Australian, I am NOT of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. Therefore, I am coming at this issue from an outsider's perspective. If there is an Aboriginal person, or more specifically of the Mowanjum people from the Kimberly regions, please PLEASE correct me if I am wrong on any front.

The culprit behind the events of the current Summer story in the JP servers has recently been revealed to be Wandjina, a creator Dreamtime figure from the Mowanjum people's culture.

In any other context, I would be thrilled to have an Australian figure in FGO, but the problem here is the figure they use.

Wandjina are sacred to the Mowanjum people, and therefore one needs to go through Aboriginal Law to obtain the right to use the Wandjina's image.

In Australia, this resulted in an actual conflict between a non-indigenous artist and aboriginals. You can read more here, but one quote to note is from an Aboriginal man of the Darug people, Chris Tobin: "Aboriginal law is very specific on what you can and can't do with wan[d]jinas." Another quote on this topic is made by the owner of an Aboriginal art gallery, Adrian Newstead: "Only a few Aboriginal artists ever win the right to depict wan[d]jina, and only then after years of initiations and ceremonies..."

I am NOT attaching an image of FGO's iteration of Wandjina due to this. Not only is her appearance only Aboriginal on a surface-level with her 'dot art' aesthetic (dot art* is only a recent addition to Aboriginal culture, created back in the 1970s), having no resemblance to an Aboriginal person (note, that while many Aboriginal people are white/pale, FGO continually chooses to depict people of colour as light skinned as possible. And yes, I know she's blue, not white. There is literally no records of her being blue skinned; is this because Wandjina's are associated with rain????) but she is also not very Wandjina looking? These figures do not have mouths, have large eyes meant to resemble the eye of a storm and are typically depicted with elaborate headdresses. That little glowing boomerang on her head is not exactly elaborate. And WHY does she have a boomerang??? Because she's Australian???? By that logic, every Japanese figure needs to have a katana. #GiveMurasakiaKatana2023.

There is also the issue of Cnoc na Riabh. While it is funny to think that she's a foreigner because of an Australian influence, Yaraan-doo is also another Aboriginal figure. And it is slapped onto a white girl for a fan service event. I'd just rather Fate leave Aboriginal culture alone and just do, like, Ned Kelly or something if they're going to continue like this.

More resources and info under the read more!

You'll have noted in the quotes that I've edited an 'n' into wanjinas. This is so I didn't confuse anyone: both can be the correct spelling! I just stuck to what I thought FGO was using for their Wandjina.

Here's an overview of what wandjinas are and their inappropriate use in art: https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/arts/what-are-wandjinas

Here's another page about an inappropriate use of Wandjinas (note: it's only a short synopsis about a documentary that covered the incident, I'm uncertain if you would be able to get access to the documentary outside of Australia): https://www.creativespirits.info/resources/movies/who-paintin-dis-wandjina

It should also be noted that the two websites I've linked above are from the website Creative Spirits. While it is run by a non-Indigenous person, the person behind it is currently transitioning it to be an Aboriginal owned and run resource. You can read more about how this site is run in his About page.

*If you want to know about dot art's origin, here and here are some resources on them. However, this article brings up something interesting that I would like to bring back to FGO Wandjina's dot art aesthetic. It notes that "the term 'dot painting' stems from what the Western eye sees when faced with contemporary Aboriginal acrylic paintings" (emphasis mine). All three articles note that dots were used to obfuscate sacred symbols and artifacts so that those who were not initiated into their cultures could not see what these figures were. In that case, what the hell is the dot art seen on Fate's Wandjina supposed to represent? In this article, it talks about the symbolism in Indigenous art. Fate's Wandjina has none.

#fgo #fate grand order #fate #fate wandjina #fgo wandjina #no one tell me if she turns out to be an alien or something because that a whole other can of worms #*sobbing* neither of my parents are even Australian I have very little exposure to Aboriginal cultures #and I take after my father so I am very white I hope making this post I was respectful? aaaaaaaaaaaaa #I got way too into making this post I forgot to take my shower and now its bedtime whoops #anyway when will nasu's sinful hands stop #own ramblings

How prevalent is American history in ur country? We literally learn nothing about Australia or NZ. I'm curious :)

(i did my schooling in australia so this is just aussie info) so in primary school (ages 6-12) we don't learn american history, just australian. mostly about captain cook, our gold rush, ned kelly, the stolen generation. i hated it i hated learning about captain cook it was so boring to me 😭 and of course its not done under any analytical lens of like critical race theory or under a wider scope of colonialism but thats another story lol. oh god and when they taught us about the stolen generation they of course said nothing about the state of australian racism to the indigenous population today.

we did learn about ww1 and 2 but only ever in the context of the pacific theatre. like we got gallipoli drilled into our heads. we did learn about the holocaust in year 8, but again not very america-related

in high school (13-18), our history classes start off still australian history (though there was the holocaust semester). around age 15 (year 9 for us) you can pick elective classes and those history classes and politics classes are more global. not american-centric, but since america looms so large we learned more about it.

honestly the thing is though that we DO learn a lot about american history because it's so soaked into media and culture. you just know about 1776 or the civil war or civil rights etcetc through movies and news and culture. a lot of people choose to be ignorant though and choose to act like 'oh thats not our business'

apologies for the long answer its just very complicated!

personal opinions under the cut

but it's never taught fully, and i think that's a huge problem. race in australia is pushed under the rug, its considered rude to bring it up. like by acknowledging racism you're doing racism. and especially its considered something of the past, like "yeah we were racist to the chinese in the gold rush" and "yeah we were racist to the aboriginals" ~bUT WERE BETTER NOW~ eugh

i think its really important for education to not be nationalistic. obviously we need to learn our country's history, but i'm also a filthy globalist and think everyone should be educated about everything. american history IS important to learn. there's this problem here where people call things like race or war or whatever 'an american problem' 'oh the americans always make things about race' 'the americans expect everyone to know their history" and its like well yeah its annoying but we SHOULD learn of course we should!

the US is the world's superpower. everything that happens in the US affects everyone else. whether its culture wars, social change, imperialism etc its something we have to learn. rahhh sorry this is all like personal qualms. you have no idea how maddening 2020 was. it was like all my classmates realised there was a world beyond our school.

#ask #Anonymous #thank you for the q! it was really great thinking about this

I keep being tagged in these chain-type things and I keep putting them off for later and then forgetting! But this time the accumulated guilt was strong enough that I remembered!

Last song: Until it Doesn't Hurt - Mother Mother

Currently watching: Nothing. The last thing I watched is a movie that I kind of half-watched on the TV this winter while doing other things and not concentrating on it, and I recently remembered it and wanted to give it the attention it deserves. The movie is True History of the Kelly Gang. And I loved it - it's very punk, it's very gender, it's very feral, and I'm amazed by the complexity of characterization it manages to cram into two hours of screentime. I see it as an exploration of how oppression and colonialism can twist people up psychologically until they've been abused enough that they see everyone around them as an enemy. I'm really not sure how well it holds up to Australians, since I'm a stupid European who knows nothing about Ned Kelly besides the basics, but it's very clearly not meant to be a realistic depiction so I hope that I'm not gushing over a thing that ruins your national hero here.

Currently reading: Currently rereading the 2017 Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn, so that I can then read the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy which I've somehow managed to not read despite being a huge Zahn fan. All this in preparation for Ahsoka, which I imagine will fuck with Zahn's careful layered characterization and contrive a reason for Thrawn to be an antagonist even if he perhaps logically wouldn't be at this particular point in time. All of my Vorkosigan and Queen's Thief mutuals are gonna be mad at me for this but I've realized that Thrawn is my favourite risk-happy strategic genius just because he combines the madlad energy with the illusion of being a gentle and dignified man. I'll be honest, I've also been stopping every couple of chapters to read some Thrawn/Eli fic because the UST between them is off the charts and I can't deal.

Current obsession: I don't think I have one - I'm all about novelty seeking in this phase of my life, to the point that I am hardly able to finish doing or consuming one thing before needing something completely different. I guess I am kind of professionally obsessed with some things, but I don't think any of my mutuals want to suffer through my ranting about social science research techniques? I can barely bear to hear myself think lol.

Thank you for the tag @aeide Great idea 🤍

Rules: 10 (non-ancient) books for people to get to know you better, or that you just really like.

So these are my current faves from the last century or so and limited to fiction. I left out the 19th C stuff - just know that I’m an English Literature nerd, and if it was written by the Bronte sisters, George Eliot or Jane Austen, I have read it at least ten times.

1. The Subterraneans by Jack Kerouac.

I have read all of his books, and I love Dharma Bums also, but the Subterraneans speaks to the theme that will always draw me in - hopeless love. The way Kerouac writes, the deep introspection and pawing over of his thoughts is really relatable to me, and the way he is always the destroyer of his own happiness… not to ignore that this book has issues (it’s deeply of it’s time, 1950’s US) but when it comes to emotional impact, I can’t think of a better example.

2. An Imaginary Life by David Malouf.

Malouf is a contemporary Australian author who often writes in a poetic way, and An Imaginary Life is perhaps his most poetical. Its the story of Ovid’s exile to the Black Sea. There are passages in this book about home, loss and memory that will never leave me. I like all of his work though, almost without exception.

3. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S Thompson

I have probably read this book fifty times. It’s funny and messed up and wild - and there isn’t another book like it. I read this when I just want to laugh and don’t want to engage my brain too much.

4. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

Like Fear and Loathing, I’ve read this book many many times. It’s wonderful though sad. The way it’s structured, so that you seem to circle around and around the story, as the story grows darker and darker… it’s truly an amazing piece of work. The movie absolutely failed to capture it.

5. The Secret River by Kate Grenville.

Another contemporary Australian author, the Secret River is historical fiction based on the white settlement of New South Wales in the early 19th Century. It is beautifully written and tackles the ugly side of colonialism head on. There are scenes in this book that made me sob. She also wrote the Lieutenant which addresses some of the same issues and it’s also very good.

6. The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey.

Another contemporary Australian author (though he lives in the US now) - as the title suggests, this is a book about Ned Kelly, the famous bushranger. It’s written in Ned Kelly’s voice, and it’s done so, so well. I can’t think of another work that is so bold in its use of voice.

7. All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

I honestly struggled to decide which of his books to choose because I love his work for the way he puts words together, and he does it so incredibly well in everything he writes; however, All the Pretty Horses was the first of his I read, and it made me read all the others, so it seemed the right one to choose. No Country for Old Men and Suttree are other favourites of his.

8. Imperium by Robert Harris

The first in a trilogy - they’re all brilliant - retelling the life of Cicero. I love the way Harris writes - very clean, very light. I would give a leg to be half so good at writing to be honest.

9. The Gates of Athens by Conn Iggulden.

This follows the life of Xanthippus - Pericles’ father - during the 480s BCE. As with Harris, Iggulden’s writing is absolutely a benchmark for me. This is the first in a series and I haven’t checked in a while if the next one has been published. Note to self. He also wrote the Falcon of Sparta which was great, too.

10. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Millar.

I know there are issues with this retelling, and honestly I don’t care. The way it’s written is everything. The word craft is so beautiful; the feeling that permeates the whole story of impending doom; how every happy moment is in fact sad. It’s gorgeous. Its poetic. It speaks to that hopeless love trope I mentioned earlier. I also loved her Circe for the same reasons.

Heath Ledger was about to start a long and successful career in Hollywood when he accidentally overdosed in 2008. Since then, his fans, friends, and family have been trying to imagine what could have been. "If you're this kind of person, the world's your limit," said celebrity photographer Ben Watts, who took many pictures of the Australian actor before he died at age 28. "What he did was really impressive." Now, 14 years after the "Brokeback Mountain" star died, Watts is putting out photos of Ledger that have never been seen before as limited-edition NFTs. Watts said, "This body of work is one of my favorites." It's the first time the lensman has worked with cryptographic assets. He said, "I'm late to the party." Watts, who lives in Chelsea and is 55 years old, met Ledger at a restaurant in New York. His sister, actress Naomi Watts, dated Ledger for two years after they met on the set of the 2003 movie "Ned Kelly." Watts took skateboarding fan Heath Ledger to the Los Angeles River in 2004 for an assignment for Interview magazine. Ledger said it was "such a great day." "We were going up and down on a skateboard without holding on. "I was in the back of the car and was pulling him," he said. "In some of the shots, you can see that I'm holding the tow rope and he's holding onto it. He was thrilled." Watts, who was born in London and grew up in Australia, moved to New York in 1995. He also did publicity shots for "Ned Kelly," including one in which Ledger points his fingers at his head like a gun. Watts said about the strange snap, "I haven't really given it much thought." "I do something like that sometimes when I'm really upset or stressed out." Ned and Bob, two of the puppies that Ledger and Naomi Watts got, are in one of the 15 photos that will go on sale on MakersPlace, an NFT marketplace, on September 14. The money from the sale will go to the Heath Ledger Foundation, which was set up after the "Knight's Tale" star died to help young Australian actors get training. Watts also said that the actor, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as The Joker in "The Dark Knight" after his death, was very involved in the process of taking pictures. "I paint many portraits of famous people," he said. "And it isn't always what they like best." https://nftdawn.io/never-seen-before-photos-of-heath-ledger-will-be-sold-as-nfts/?feed_id=1930&_unique_id=63145db060bc2

Ballarat Fencing and Gates

Significantly, gold has been one of the most important industries in Ballarat, Victoria and still is today. Gold was discovered in 1851 at a place called Poverty Point. After that, the area of Ballarat was discovered to be a plentiful alluvial field, which was the cause of Ballarat transforming itself into a larger encampment for the Victorian gold rush.

Today, Ballarat has an estimated population of over 94,000 citizens and is located 105 km's north-west of Melbourne. In 1970, Ballarat evolved into a popular tourist destination, with the well-known Sovereign Hill attraction opening, and since then has continued to increase the number of tourist destinations including, Kryal Castle, the Eureka Centre, the Gold Museum, Gold Rush Mini Golf, Ballarat Wildlife Park, Ballarat Bird World, ghost tours, and more.

Ballarat is home to the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery, the oldest regional gallery in Australia located in Lydiard Street North. Ballarat is also home to the longest and oldest Memorial Avenue, the Avenue of Honour. With the Avenue coupled with the Victoria Heritage Register, they are said to be seen by over 20,000 visitors each year.

The City of Ballarat has a beautiful botanical garden with many statues including members of the Australian Parliament, making it an interesting attraction. In addition to the impressive gardens and situated along side it, is Lake Wendouree, which was originally known as the Yuille's Swamp. The lake is now home to numerous wildlife, including several swans, ducks and about 100 native water rats.

The oldest and largest annual presentation of an Australia Eisteddfod, is the Royal South Street Eisteddfod, located in Ballarat, with the presentation running over a period of 12 weeks each year.

The city has a close link with community theater and acting and it is not surprising that some famous actors and actresses in Australia were born in Ballarat, including Kimberley Davies and the well-known Bill Hunter. Ballarat is also used for various shooting locations, with the city appearing in movies like, My Brother Jack in 2001 and Ned Kelly in 2003.

Two major international producers, Mars Incorporated and McCain Foods Limited, are both headquartered in Australia, in Ballarat in particular, both establishing in the 1970s and are still going strong today.

what movies have you watched recently? did you like them or did some of them disappoint you? which do you recommend?

the most recent film i watched was the green knight and it did disappoint me.. but more because i went in with such high expectations due to all the hype around it! it was quite underwhelming in certain aspects but still so gorgeous. The scene where the camera pans around while Gawain is tied up and is shown to be a corpse was probably my favourite. Other than that I had to watch Ned Kelly (2003) for my Australian crime and social history class - a great look at how the justice system/police have played a major part in creating 'criminals' since colonial times.

The story of Australian bushranger Ned Kelly and his gang as they flee from authorities during the 1870s.

Intense and kind of insane. It did make it plausible why a bunch of guys rode around wearing women's dresses.

George MacKay gives an impressive and scary performance.

Word of caution, do not watch the movie if you are sensitive towards stroboscopic light effects, let alone prone to epileptic seizures.
