Shadeoses posted:and as a book. If it were taught as "Wow! Look at how outdated and bizarre the racism in this book seems! Look at how weird it is that people are being mocked for eating spaghetti! Maybe our own modern racisms are also nonsensical and stupid and will be considered as such by future generations!" then I could get behind it. But no, every teacher ever in the 21st century teaches that this the face of racism in Australia - whites being mean to not-white-enough whites for doing weird and crazy things like making sauce for their pasta.

Letters from the Inside was book I read in high-school english that I liked. Also Unreliable Memoirs by Clive James but A Man for all Seasons can go gently caress itself in a fire.

We read a book called Maestro and it was poo poo. The metaphor/symbolism was completely overblown, as if it were written just for the purpose of being taught to year 10 kids.

Romeo and Juliet would've been vastly improved if they'd copy-pasted Di Caprio's character out of What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

Due to how Looking For Alibrandi is taught at different years at different schools, I had to read it and do assignments on it three times and watch the film multiple times twice. God even if I'd liked it to start with I would have hated it by that point.

I like Moulin Rouge because it's big and stupid and colourful and over-emotional and it's my brother's favourite film and great fun to watch with people who likes its vibrant stupidity. Romeo+Juliet, ehh, less so. I liked parts of it but overall it felt a bit - I don't know, forced?

Did any of you guys read a book about surviving a nuclear apocolypse in high school? Would have been years 7, 8 or 9. I've been trying to remember what it was for years.

Australia is a loving mess, and has some of the most bizarre pacing of any movie I've seen.

I like how if you think about it for more than a second you realise Christian is probably going to get TB and die too so he won't have too long to sit around moping about Satine.

Murodese posted:WAPOL shot and killed a guy during a domestic call on Friday night because he came at them armed and dangerous, and they had some brief footage of the weapon on the news tonight. It was a Leatherman mini-blade on a pocketknife, about 3 inches long. Apparently they didn't try to use pepper spray or tasers either, just shot him in the stomach. A pretty WAPOL job, really. A three inch knife is enough to seriously injure or even kill someone. If he came at them then they were right to defend themselves.

One of our other novels was In The Lake of the Woods and I've lived with the memory of a Vietnam vet vividly reliving maybe killing his wife by pouring boiling water on her face. Thanks VCE.

Post apocolyptic media talk - I remember watching Threads in early high school because our science teacher couldn't be bothered and holy poo poo it was terrifying. I can't believe it was made (partially) by channel Nine.

You might be thinking of Tomorrow When The War Began, which isn't actually a nuclear apocalypse, but probably had similar notes getting hit. It's possible you misremembered the 'nuclear' part. I wanted to point the finger at a prolific author I remember reading a lot of in the curriculum around that age, but I don't actually remember who that was; I thought it was Paul Jennings, but I just checked and that's a different guy. I remember one of their books was a sci-fi retelling of the First Fleet, is that ringing bells for anyone else? EDIT: Beaten on Tomorrow, oh well.

Does Italian Spiderman count as Australian cinema? Besides, it's Australia, we export all our natural resources.
