chakravarthi says he got interested in launching a website for start - ups as he conducted a few sessions on sales at nasscom , the software industry lobby body , and tie , the organisation dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship .

initially , chakravarthi thought of writing on sales for start - ups , but then realised that the internet is a more powerful medium , and how better to do it than conduct interviews with entrepreneurs who have made it big .

“this is a knowledge portal targeted at early - stage and aspiring start - ups . for them , this is an indian sales portal , a live experience of people who have been there and done that , ” says chakravarthi .

firstfewcustomers . com , a website founded and run by him , seeks to help start - ups get their first few customers .

the entrepreneurs behind these start - ups may be tech - or marketing - savvy , but very rarely do they have sales experience , and that is one reason a number of ventures suffer , he says .

“i have done 30 workshops over the last 30 months . that is when the idea for this came , ” he says , adding : “the kind of questions that come , they are so basic because they are not sales people . they don’t have any experience . ”

a few senior company executives might have some sales background . however , opening doors and closing sales is tough .

he conducts the interviews either over phone or in person , and puts them up on the website , which is free to access .

his idea , he says , was to capture indian examples of sales , rather than rely on what foreign textbooks and websites offer .

his strategy is to ask the founders to refresh their memory and recollect the first steps they took while trying to sell their product or service , the mistakes they made and how they corrected them .

walkabout is a 1971 film set in the australian outback , directed by nicolas roeg and starring jenny agutter , luc roeg ( credited as " lucien john " ) and david gulpilil ( credited as " david gumpilil " ) .

edward bond wrote the screenplay , which is loosely based on the 1959 novel walkabout by james vance marshall .

walkabout premiered in competition at the 1971 cannes film festival .

when walkabout was released in 1971 , roger ebert awarded the film four stars but sheepishly discouraged reading too much into the film ' s overwhelming symbolism . other critics have generally been more willing to engage the film on its own terms . writing in the san francisco chronicle , critic edward guthmann ( in 1997 ) wrote that walkabout is a " a film that ' s part anthem to the primitive world and part rebuke to the dull , overinsulated selfishness of contemporary man .

walkabout has a good script by edward bond , and is directed and stunningly photographed by nicolas roeg .

while mainly manufactured in australia , the film was entered into cannes as the official british entry , and is usually considered a british film , though the finance is american . because it ' s a rare thing - an interesting film made in australia in 1970 - many are willing to claim it as at least a part - australian film .

roeg ' s vision of the film and his method of working has remained consistent .

the erroneous statement which suggests that walkabout is only done by boys undergoing initiation , reflects the impossibility of white culture being able to really understand aboriginal culture . an illustrated encyclopedia of aboriginal life describes walkabout as being :

i had to see this for film history and really liked the film however , i really didn ' t understand the last quarter of the film . your explanation was eye - opening and very pleasant to read ( comparing to wikipedia ) . thank you so much for taking the time to write it out , i have a whole new respect for this film ! - inola

walkabout fared poorly at the box office in australia . critics debated whether it could be considered an australian film , and whether it was an embrace or a reaction to the country’s cultural and natural context . [ 2 ]

you should read louis nowra ' s book on walkabout if you haven ' t already . it offers invaluable insight into it .

but it should be noted that up to this time no australian feature film had captured with such imagination or beauty aboriginal dance , as displayed by gulpilil in his courtship dance . whatever else might be said about it , the film expanded the imagination and understanding of those who would take part in the australian feature film revival .

playwright , scriptwriter and novelist louis nowra wrote an eighty page study of the film for currency press in 2003 .

like any memorable work of art , walkabout manages to convey certain elusive insights that , upon reflection , are so obvious they seem revelatory .

before director nicolas roeg gave the world one of the finest and most disturbing horror films ever made , don ' t look now , in 1973 , he crafted an equally brilliant but very different film set in the australian outback , 1971 ' s walkabout .

" one of the best writers analyzing contemporary genre film and television . " - ( theofantastique , 11 / 13 )

the poem read at the end of the film is poem 40 from a . e . housman’s a shropshire lad .

to wit , walkabout is a film consisting of very little dialogue , and the shooting script was reportedly just fourteen pages long . and yet there isn ' t a moment of " emptiness " to be found anywhere in walkabout . rather , through the repeating motif of cross - cuts , director roeg encourages audiences to consider a story about innocence , and perhaps more specifically , the death of innocence .

met with mixed reviews and dismal box office returns in australia , walkabout has since established itself as a significant film in the cinematic canon ; it boasts a 93 % rating on rotten tomatoes and was classified as a “great movie” by roger ebert in 1997 . this experimental adaptation of james vance marshall’s book the children ( since retitled walkabout ) uses its simplistic story – a young boy and teenage girl stranded in the outback befriend an aboriginal boy on walkabout – to frame a coming of age story complicated by questions of race , civilisation and sexuality .

anyone going to see walkabout at the bfi ? it is being screened several times in march . hoping to be there myself - of course !

the distinctive musician and composer discusses his instinctive approach to composition and the value of a total immersion into a film’s world .

when re - issued in 1998 in australia , the film managed only a token a $ 68 , 720 in business , equivalent to a $ 95 , 507 in 2009 a $ , according to the film victoria report on australian box office .

the sequence , effective within itself , cannot carry the burden of the whole film , though by default it must . the film runs along for most of its length on the simple continued addition of contrasts and this sudden multiplication of meanings and levels only emphasizes the poverty of what precedes and follows rather than raising the film as a whole to a more majestic complexity .

a truly great film , and walkabout is a truly great film , is not only great in its totality but also has a profound effect on its viewers in two ways ( imo ) : i ) every viewing can bring something new or a different twist to a scene ; ii ) every viewer is made to think and interpret it according to their own philosophy and understanding of the world .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .

however , we must accept that film is a construction , and not a document of place . if a statement is presented as fact though , it should be correct . the desire for verisimilitude cannot be satisfied here , in this complex and fantastic film .

the film was a box office flop in australia , but did respectable business internationally , and has had a good ancillary life .

the film put david gulpilil , one of this country ' s finest indigenous actors , on the map . it premiered at the cannes film festival but performed poorly at the local box office and drew a mixed response from critics . among the topics debated by reviewers was whether it was actually australian . walkabout was financed with american money , adapted from an english novel by an english director and stars mostly english actors .

one of the horror genre ' s " most widely read critics " ( rue morgue # 68 ) , " an accomplished film journalist " ( comic buyer ' s guide # 1535 ) , and the award - winning author of horror films of the 1980s ( 2007 ) , the rock and roll film encyclopedia ( 2007 ) and horror films of the 1970s ( 2002 ) , john kenneth muir , presents his blog on film , television and nostalgia , named one of the top 100 film studies blog on the net .

after the film was restored , it was given a new theatrical life in australia , europe and the united states , and received a number of new reviews - for example , the film only arrived in san francisco in 1997 , and received a review here .

based loosely on a 1959 adventure novel by james vance marshall , walkabout amply displays the director ' s unfettered , prodigious talent for crafting symbolic visuals . roeg ' s considerable efforts here remind the engaged viewer that film - - in the final analysis - - is truly a visual art form .

walkabout is one of those australian films that… isn’t . made with american money by an english director and english screenwriter , it’s nonetheless one of the most important films about the australian outback . along with wake in fright – which also premiered at the 1971 cannes film festival – walkabout solidified an international perception of australia’s outback as harsh , barren and exotic ; an iconography reinforced by the likes of men at work and crocodile dundee in the years to come .

now , 27 years after the film ' s release , the reconstructed " walkabout , " which was never released on video in either version , has finally arrived . it opens today at the castro for a one - week run and plays january 17 - 20 at the uc theatre in berkeley .

blu - ray walkabout is tempting me to upgrade to blu - ray , but i am trying to resisting buying blu - ray player until i need to replace my dvd player . i would only re - buy handful of my dvd so it is not economical to upgrade just for one film .

walkabout is the rare film of its era to include an aboriginal actor in a leading role . the first film to do so was charles chauvel’s last film , jedda , starring robert tudawali and ngarla kunoth . eligible for a palme d’or in the award’s first year – 1955 – jedda is an australian take on romeo and juliet that remains an important milestone in australian cinema . like walkabout – and films of the era such as the chant of jimmie blacksmith – it concludes in tragedy for its aboriginal characters ; whether the persistent victimhood of indigenous australians in these films is a reflection of their real - life tragedy at the hands of the white government , or a trite example of white filmmakers failing their characters depends entirely on your perspective .

one last note : if the romantic , sweeping music in " walkabout " sounds suspiciously like the score for " out of africa , " it ' s no accident . john barry wrote both , and he obviously borrowed from " walkabout " to create the oscar - winning , very similar work on " out of africa . "

these questions willl strike a familiar chord as they are the same ones that have been chasing their tail since the film ' s release .

an indigenous perspective on nowra ' s book is provided here , and it too questions the film and nowra ' s interpretation of it .

roeg creates in walkabout a world of his own , a microcosmos that is at once beautiful , primitive , wild , familiar yet unfamiliar , thoughtful , and thought provoking .

walkabout finds an emotional centre when the kids meet an aboriginal australian ( gulpilil ) who helps them find water and joins them as they drift between sun - parched settings .

after an opening intertitle explaining the meaning of the term walkabout – “in australia , when an aborigine man - child reaches sixteen , he is sent out into the land… [ t ] he aborigines call it the walkabout” – added by the studio in post - production , roeg’s film commences a montage that juxtaposes images of the outback – red rocks , dusty plains , sidney nolan paintings come to life – with footage of sydney – red brick walls , rows of schoolchildren , hordes of pedestrians – overlaid with traditional didgeridoo music . this kind of juxtaposition is judiciously throughout walkabout both to create an emotional affect and to contrast the perceptions of western modernity and aboriginal traditions .

thank you for your wonderful blog on walkabout . . . this film completely blew me away , and this line taken from your writing summed it up ; " the film ' s ultimate point is that there is nothing harsher and more difficult than living a life that goes against your very nature . " i was left reeling , crying deep tears of recognition . such a beautifully shot , wide wide wide open film . vast and full of amazing details . god how humans can just fuck things up , the scene of the guys with their shotguns , the sound of the guns so loud loud . horrific ! gulpin - what a love . nina

two young siblings are stranded in the australian outback and are forced to cope on their own . they meet an australian boy on " walkabout " : a ritual separation from his tribe .

walkabout may not be an australian film in the technical definition , but it went on to form an enduring legacy . it is regarded as one of the earliest works of the australian new wave and is considered seminal — particularly for its bold , dreamlike exploration of the australian wilderness and the deep spiritual bonds between the land and its original occupants .

the word " walkabout " refers to an aboriginal rite of passage in which an adolescent aboriginal boy goes out alone in the bush for six months to initiate his manhood . that ritual doesn ' t include chaperoning white people through the bush , of course , and one of the greatest points of tension in " walkabout " is the erotic curiosity that grows between agutter and gumpilil .

opening caption : in australia , when an aborigine man - child reaches sixteen , he is sent out into the land . for months he must live from it . sleep on it . eat of its fruit and flesh . stay alive . even if it means killing his fellow creatures . the aborigines call it the walkabout . this is the story of a " walkabout " .

fortunately for me ( as a critic ) and you ( as a potential viewer ) , there ' s more to walkabout than pure cinema . [ note to readers : i ' m not against pure cinema ; i just generally can ' t handle it for more than thirty minutes and i find it difficult to write about . ] the plot may be minimal and the film may primarily define itself visually but those two factors intersect to provide the film with a multi - layered subtext . first , as roger ebert has noted in his great movies essay , the film is about the difficulty of communication between two separate cultures . secondly , you can read the film and its devastating conclusion as a tale about modernization ' s effects on native culture . what types of struggles must an immigrant / colonized subject face when they are integrated into an industrialized society ? third , you can read the film as a love story between the young aborigine boy on his walkabout ( a coming of age ritual in which a boy fends for himself and , if he returns , is declared a man ) and a white woman who is attracted to him , but unable to relate to him .

like many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .

walkabout suggests that living off a harsh , natural land is tough work . you have scorpions , ants , dehydration and other challenges to overcome . you have to find water and hunt for your supper . but i believe the film ' s ultimate point is that there is nothing harsher and more difficult than living a life that goes against your very nature .

the film is interspersed with numerous images of australian plant and animal life , along with its varied landscapes . the director often uses those images to emphasize events in the plot and set the emotional tone , most notably during the violent scene involving the rifle hunters . though many of the events are impossible in a natural setting—in one scene a wombatwanders past the sleeping children in the middle of a desert—they create a backdrop of a populous , varied environment . in walkabout , an analysis of the film , author louis nowra wrote :

this critique of civilization recurs throughout the film . for instance , as mentioned above , the boy and the girl find an oasis of life in the desert - -

electronic dance only appears in small bits in the film , not as a whole track and is near the end when the children find the abandoned ' village ' .

no not really . i used to we used to make model aeroplanes out of balsa wood but move that over . we ' re not on film are we ?

the best film to partner with the film is perhaps the aforementioned wake in fright . the films share a release date and setting , while offering similarly robust perspectives on the outback . while wake in fright eschews the indigenous perspective to consider the white man’s corruption in the australian wilderness – kangaroo hunting and gambling and brawling and far , far too many beers . taken in concert with walkabout , the two films offer a complex and complete – if not entirely complimentary – portrait of australia’s outskirts as it was perceived some 45 years ago .

the film’s regular use of montage and intercutting emphasises roeg’s trademark “rather bizarre attitudes towards time” ( his own words ) . as in his follow - up , don’t look now , walkabout eschews the linear conventions of commercial cinema for something ambiguous and amorphous . there’s the suggestion that roeg’s curious atemporality is inspired by aboriginal culture , unbound by the rigidity of clocks and schedules .

we revisit nicolas roeg ' s 1971 coming - of - age classic , ' walkabout ' ( now available at sbs on demand ) , and the questions it raised about race , civilisation and sexuality .

soon , the girl and boy encounter an aborigine teenager ( david gulpilil ) on a " walkabout , " a rite of passage in which young men trace the heritage of their ancestors on the land .

others who saw it on its initial release will share those memories , but at the same time , some have raised questions about nowra ' s views on the film .

gulpilil , born in 1953 , had appeared in aboriginal dance troupes , and went on to a long career in australian film and television roles . he is credited as gumpilil .

walkabout ' s obvious concern is the relationship between two parties , separated by centuries of diverting societal behaviors , and thus , differentiated perceptions of sexual roles and etiquette . but what ensues is more ambiguous and interpretative .

the pessimism of the conclusion may be inappropriate to australia , and particularly to aboriginal life today , but perhaps we can see walkabout as a memorial representation of all those indigenous peoples who have died in the colonising process .

after the initial mixed and muddled box office reception , the film has gone on to attract all kinds of critical attention , and been accepted into the canon of australian - manufactured films .

speaking from london , the 70 - year - old film - maker is unsurprised that the film has aged so well , citing the essential timelessness of the story : " what interests me is always the same thing : a simple story about life and being alive , not covered with sophistry , but addressing the most basic human themes : birth , death , mutability . "

are these two films just exercises in melancholy voyeurism ? apparently so , unless one is to take roeg’s clodhopper homilies seriously such as the quote from a . e . housman near the end of walkabout , which transforms the victorian’s genteel stoicism into an edgar guest platitude . apparently so , unless one is to find the references to borges in performance carrying the film to a more philosophical level than business equals crime .

a young sister and brother are abandoned in the harsh australian outback and must learn to cope in the natural world , without their usual comforts , in this hypnotic masterpiece from nicolas roeg . along the way , they meet a young aborigine on his “walkabout , ” a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone . walkabout is a thrilling adventure as well as a provocative rumination on time and civilization .

in his commentary roeg disclaims putting up the opening title explaining the ' walkabout ' , suggesting either twentieth century fox did it , or someone else did it on their behalf . he says he dislikes that kind of explanatory device .

the roger ebert essay that accompanied the dvd release is available on the criterion website ( at time of writing ) here , while paul ryan takes a lengthier look on the same website under the header walkabout : landscapes of memory .

the film’s most surreal , and strangely wonderful sequence occurs when the aborigine , misconstruing the girl’s gratitude for love , performs a ritualistic courting dance for her . it is a scene that ends almost as quickly — and silently — as it begins , but the subsequent events will forever change both people’s lives . as the film concludes , everything is brought full circle , with a twist .

with the outback serving as both a backdrop and character in the film ' s narrative , and by marshaling a voice - over poem at just the right moment ( from alfred edward housman ' s 1896 work " a shropshire lad , " ) roeg crafts an immensely emotional film ; one that will deeply affect you for days after a screening . this is even more the case now , since roeg ' s director ' s cut is featured on the blu ray edition rather than the original theatrical release ( which trimmed much of the film ' s full frontal nudity ) .

only in the film ' s last scene , do we see an older , reflective woman consider the aborigine boy ; and what he meant in her life ; and what he gave to her . she imagines a scene right out of paradise : the three wanderers in the desert frolicking in the water ; on a rock . it is an image of lost innocence , and it is the image we leave on in walkabout .

early in the film , for example , we see agutter ' s character setting - up a blanket and picnic lunch out in harsh desert ; clearly a misguided attempt to tame the unspoiled earth . while she imposes mankind ' s sense of order on the desert , the film cross - cuts to views of lizards and other inhabitants , going about their business , oblivious to her attempts .

hickling - hudson , a . , " white construction of black identity in australian films about aborigines , " in literature / film quarterly ( salisbury , maryland ) , no . 4 , 1990 .

roeg and agutter were in separate locations when their contribution to the commentary was recorded , but each offer insights into the film and the making of it , and their thoughts chime together reasonably well .

“see the difference between artificiality and naturalness . you and i can see it in this image or set of images , but the characters in the film cannot , and this is our superiority . ”

walkabout ' s ending diagrams the death of innocence . gulpilil ' s character has learned that he cannot adapt to the strange rules of modern " civilization . " and in that coda - - set years after his demise - agutter ' s sense of hoplessness is tangible . it reflects , purposefully , the little boy ' s sense of defeat early in the film , upon reckoning with the unending desert , one stretching to unknown horizons .

i think the film is neutral about such goals . like its lizards that sit unblinking in the sun , it has no agenda for them . it sees the life of civilization as arid and unrewarding , but only easy idealism allows us to believe that the aborigine is any happier , or his life more rewarding ( the film makes a rather unpleasant point of the flies constantly buzzing around him ) .

but returned to modern civilization ( and bred to that civilization ) , agutter ' s character cannot make the same leap . instead , she denies any feeling she might have for the aborigine boy and falls back on the " etiquette " of her culture . early in walkabout we see her practicing etiquette lessons while listening to a program on the radio ; and that ' s the very world the english girl retreats to at film ' s end .

the appeal of roeg’s films to date rests on different qualities for different audiences . for the user of mild psychedelic drugs , performance , and to a lesser extent the other two films , provides a great multiplicity of visual and aural inputs . however the users often confuse the undeniable plethora of impressions , and its pleasantness , with indicating a meaningfulness and aesthetic complexity which is not there on sober examination . somewhat overlapping this audience is the appeal of the first two films to late adolescents , who seek in film art an experience , a knowledge , a statement in a somewhat different form . this too , roeg certainly provides , but exploring “identity” rather than “being” has its limits for viewers who have moved on from the former to the latter in their own experience . for people especially interested in film as an art , roeg is very interesting in his willingness to exploit film as film and for his ability to work in the commercial feature system successfully while pushing the uniquely filmic over standard melodramatic film narrative . with don ' t look now roeg demonstrated his appeal for film goers who prefer classy entertainment , though he did so by focusing on characters and a life style that seems right out of the ad pages of the new yorker .

i ' m getting in a walkabout mood in anticipation of the march 5th screening at the nft ( with jenny agutter and luc roeg attending ) and i was wondering about an aspect of the film which i haven ' t seen analysed . at the beginning a voice says " faites vos jeux , monsieurs , dames s ' il vous plait " , and at the end a title comes up which reads " rien ne va plus " . i must admit it took several viewings of the film before i even noticed these , probably because the volume of the voiceover is quite low and the closing title is probably chopped off from many tv ( and even cinema ) prints .

perhaps more plainly , the destruction of the desert oasis and its resources is referenced late in the film when the boy and the girl come across a similar setting , writ large : a virtually abandoned mining town .

for a film made in australia at the time , the soundtrack is relatively advanced , with the sound effects , and the effects - laden music , and the radio , contributing to the sense of a tone poem .

is " walkabout " only about what it seems to be about ? is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that ' s what the film ' s surface seems to suggest , but i think it ' s also about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication . it ends with lives that are destroyed , in one way or another , because two people could not invent a way to make their needs and dreams clear .

walkabout ’s screenplay , written by english playwright edward bond , is famously spare ; roeg described it as a “fourteen - page prose poem . ” with such a slender script , the production thus relied on improvisation . consequentially , the final product tends to rely more on images than dialogue to tell its story ( a familiar feature of roeg’s filmography ) . this suits the way the film emphasises on the difficulty of authentic communication throughout , whether in the trappings of ‘civilised’ society or in the australian wilderness – as discussed in ebert’s aforementioned review , where he argues that walkabout is about the “mystery of communication , ” noting that “the crucial detail is that the two teenagers never find a way to communicate , not even by using sign language . ”

dominated by dazzling photography , gorgeous images and a lush john barry score , walkabout ably serves up a side - by - side comparison between disparate worlds : city life in modern adelaide ( though it looks like sydney ) and the wild , untamed life of the outback . unexpectedly , the crueler , more savage and difficult world , according to the film , is that of the modern and " civilized " man . in the desert , at least , you can understand your enemies .

a final voice over ends the film on a melancholy and wistful note . " that is the land of lost content / i see it shining plain / the happy highways where i went / and cannot come again . "

“is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that’s what the film’s surface suggests , but i think it’s about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication . ” [ 7 ]

walkabout : drama . starring jenny agutter , david gumpilil and lucien john . directed and photographed by nicholas roeg . written by edward bond . ( not rated . 100 minutes . at the castro through january 9 and the uc theatre in berkeley january 17 - 20 . )

but the children - a teenage girl ( jenny agutter ) and her younger brother ( lucien john ) - survive , and wander aimlessly in the wilderness until they meet up with an aboriginal boy ( david gulpilil ) who is on a walkabout as part of his initiation .

the film ' s opening shots form a mosaic of metropolitan life strung together with a buzzy tati - like vibe . roeg overlays didgeridoo music onto cluttered cityscapes loaded with cars , buildings , businesspeople and slickers going about daily routines .

it was re - released in 1998 in australia , and did a $ 68 , 720 in business , equivalent to a $ 95 , 507 in 2009 a $ , according to the film victoria report on australian box office .

the film is commonly dated to 1971 by the oxford and other databases . however the copyright notice is for 1970 , and this site uses the date of copyright , where available , as the best indication of year of manufacture .

like ted kotcheff’s masterpiece wake in fright , which was released the same year as walkabout and also took a long time to earn its reputation as a classic , the unforgettable vividness with which roeg captures the australian outback arises from the perspective of a foreigner trying to understand it .

this scene is an important refutation to interpretations of the film that reduce it to a paternalistic take on aboriginal culture . while walkabout undeniably romanticises indigenous australian culture , it does so with a critical eye . in the final scene , the girl’s conversation with her husband is interrupted with a syrupy reminiscence of her time in the bush , where the three children frolic naked in a waterhole . but the scene is not a memory , but a reconstructed daydream – an idealised , fictionalised memory of something that never occurred .

wow john - no one ' s biting on the comments . or else you ' ve been too busy to mod them , perhaps . anyway , i read half of your review yesterday , and then sought out the film and watched it for myself . i ' ve just come back and read the remainder of your review and from my perspective , you nailed it . the imagery is very much " in your face " and the film pulls no punches in displaying the sharp contrasts between " modern " life and the natural symbiotic relationship between the aborigine and the outback . reading some other online reviews paint the film is being exploitative of the young actress , but in viewing the film that concept was farthest from my mind . i thought the director skillfully used just about every shot to evoke a natural emotional reaction that was completely inline with his message . the freaky 1960 ' s - 1970 ' s vibe is prevalent throughout and , being a child of the 70 ' s , i thoroughly enjoyed every drop of it . i ' d never seen or heard of this film before reading your review . thank you for sharing it with us john . - nick

cinematically , the contrasts in roeg’s films are continuous . in walkabout , for example , the urban children are first seen together in a swimming pool next to a body of natural water . their western urban clothing is contrasted with the native’s belt of snakes . the urban pair rely on verbal language and find security in the voices on their transistor radio , while communication with the young hunter is effective only through gesture , etc . at times roeg’s fascination with visual antonyms is almost bludgeoning . the native hunts with spear and hands while europeans are shown killing game with a rifle fired from a jeep . cutting apart a kangaroo for dinner in the wild is opposed to an urban butcher shop . a burning auto is crosscut with a roasting animal carcass . these juxtapositions—and walkabout is especially loaded with them - are a lévi - strauss type of structuralist’s perfect data . . . but they lack any especial meaning . in walkabout the establishing sequence at the beginning gives us the contrast , but the contrast is then continued for the rest of the film in an all too predictable vein .

walkabout was on tcm lastnight . i had never heard of the film , nor did i watch it from the begining . i missed the part about the father , and i mistakenly assumed he died in a car accident while the childen were unharmed . i found your commentary while searching online to learn more about the movie . after reading several different review sites i ' m dismayed no one thought it odd that none of the dialog of any of the aboriginals is subtitled . the film would seem to be very much about city vs nature , loss of innocence , commentary on isolation in proximity , etc . what got my attention is during the entire film there is an entire culture left mute only in so much as we have no idea what any of the aboriginals are saying . for all we know they could have been told by the director to speak gibberish , or they are talking about us in front of our faces - they see us as children dependent on our toys . in this i wondered if the film mocked the viewers . there is more concern about nudity of the girl than the tacit silencing of the native culture . how very missionary ! ! the irony ! ! ! ! in the end i was insulted that the aboriginal boy took his life over the rejection from the girl . it was great for the shock value but for me the film leapt from a plausable commentary filled with symbolism to a cliche designed to ruffle english sensibilties .

taken in toto , this threatens to mythologise and romanticise indigenous australian culture . indeed , it’s easy to regard gulpilil’s character as the epitome of the reductive “noble savage” stereotype : pure , simple , idealised . this is tempered , somewhat , by the prominence of death within the film – suicides and burnt - out cars and abandoned towns and fields filled with buffalo bones . walkabout expands upon the book’s comparatively simple conception of aboriginal culture as “devoted to one purpose… the battle with death” by portraying death with unvarnished , brutal honesty .

the most effective parallels and contrasts in performance involve identities , social roles , sexual roles , disguises , costumes , and performances . in the last analysis it adds up to permutations without profundity . roeg puts the film characters and the film audience through a lot of changes , but to no apparent end . granted , that carefully going through the film one can find traces of references to jorge luis borges , bergman’s persona , painters francis bacon , richard hamilton , and peter blake . but in the flow of the film they are not picked up , or if they are ( merged faces from persona , a pretty obvious one ) , they don ' t add anything , not even self - congratulation at having caught it . if the outside references mean anything , particularly to a stoned audience , it is merely as part of the cultural ambiance of our times , and it would be pretentious to make anything out of it as far as criticism of the film goes . but , one feels roeg really is trying to make something more out of his films than simple mental massages or mind candy for freaks . in a recent sight and sound interview ( winter 1973 - 74 ) he confesses his

but the film doesn’t present these two cultures as equals , instead according the aboriginal traditions with a sense of purity absent from ‘civilised’ culture . this is explicated as the film progresses ; a scene involving weather balloonists stationed in the outback is overtly farcical , while footage of white hunters shooting buffalo for sport earns tears from gulpilil’s silent observer . with a montage of abandoned buffalo corpses , roeg positions the white man’s hunting as cruel and excessive , in contrast to the aborigine’s purposeful communion with nature .

the idea for the film - the eventual script started at a reputed fourteen or so pages , and in the end ran no longer than fifty eight or sixty pages - came from the novel by james vance marshall , first published in 1959 .

considered on its most basic terms as a deeply moving and occasionally disturbing drama that features consistently astonishing cinematography , walkabout is entirely successful . as a subtly , almost casually polemic work , it is certain to compel just about any viewer to consider the world , and their preconceptions , in a slightly ( or radically ) different way . on deeper levels , the film’s refreshing lack of calculated profundity allows the arresting vistas of the australian outback — at once gorgeous and grim — to serve as both setting and a wordless commentary that speaks volumes .

those entranced by walkabout ’s disregard for linear time and exploitation of disorienting editing would do well to investigate roeg’s early filmography . the likes of don’t look now , the man who fell to the earth and the controversial thriller bad timing demonstrate the unique ambiguity that made roeg an important arthouse director .

the movie takes its title from a custom among the australian aborigines : during the transition to young manhood , an adolescent aborigine went on a " walkabout " of six months in the outback , surviving ( or not ) depending on his skills at hunting , trapping and finding water in the wilderness .

is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that ' s what the film ' s surface seems to suggest , but i think it ' s also about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication .

1920 census summary and census takers worksheet - 37 year old john carmean ( born ohio ) , his 27 year old wife agnes ( born norway ) , 8 year old son john ( born oregon ) , 6 year old daughter jean ( born oregon ) , and 3 year old daughter carrol [ sic ] ( born oregon ) are living in pocatello , bannock county , idaho . error here - jean is listed as their son , not daughter . father john l . ' s occupation is " salesman - clothing store " : urltoken

the social security death index ( ssdi ) and the connecticut death index have records on jean ' s son , 34 year old guy h . dillow . he was born november 6 , 1951 in connecticut , last place of residence was greenwich , fairfield county , connecticut , and he passed away november 15 , 1985 : urltoken urltoken

newspapers from summer , 1940 note that that jean was in white plains , new york co - starring with ezra stone ( radio ' s " henry aldrich " ) in the clifford goldsmith comedy " what a life " . . . and that she had also appeared in the chicago company of " the man who came to dinner " .

there were two marriages . her first was in 1932 to insurance broker walter lohman who was twenty or more years older than jean . newspapers and the august 14 , 1932 marriage license indicate their wedding ceremony was at the beach home of silent screen actress constance talmadge netcher in santa monica , california . they divorced in 1937 . june 8 , 1938 and july 20 , 1938 issues of

the afi catalog of feature films has more on jean ' s " the pawn " film which was released in 1968 . afi also includes the following notes : " production begun in dec 1961 ; location scenes filmed in ipswich and boston , massachusetts ; newport , rhode island ; upstate new york ; and amalfi , italy . the working title of this film is tears are for tomorrow . " :

born in portland , oregon on april 7 , 1913 , this lady ' s film career spanned a half - dozen years during the 1930s . existing biographies mention that as a youngster , jean worked on the stage in fanchon and marco revues ; she developed horse riding skills and performed in circuses ; her mother was a ballet dancer ; more . perhaps some or all of that happened . however , in the census for 1910 , 1920 and 1930 , parents john carmean ( born ohio ) and wife agnes ( born norway ) appear to be just plain hard workin ' folks . in all three census , father john is a " salesman - department store " or " salesman - clothing store " and no occupation is shown for wife agnes . in addition to jean , there was an older brother john l . ( jr . ? ) and a younger sister named carol .

: because of the general upheaval after the changeover to sound and with a country still in shock over the wall street disaster , wampas curtailed their yearly selection .

: joan blondell , constance cummings , frances dade , frances dee , sidney fox , rochelle hudson , anita louise , joan marsh , marian marsh , karen morley , marion shilling , barbara weeks , judith wood ( alias helen johnson ) .

: because of ties , wampas presented no less than 15 " babies " in 1932 . one , lillian miles ( of reefer madness fame ) , failed to show up ( she was apparently getting married ) and faced disqualification . toshia mori , the only non - caucasian to be honored , earned the nod instead .

: officially due to the depression , wampas cancelled the year ' s selection . unofficially , the reason was too much studio interference .

: the last year of the wampas selection was mainly to publicize two films , paramount ' s kiss and tell and mascot ' s young and beautiful . the " babies " appeared as a group in both , but there was no " frolic " !

the wampas idea was ruined by the major studios who were loath to sponsor girls not under exclusive contracts . thus , the period saw such competing " selections " as " paramount protegees of 1935 " ( wendy barrie , grace bradley [ boyd ] , katherine demille , gertrude michael , gail patrick , ann sheridan ) ; " the 1936 flash lighter starlets " ( helen burgess , frances gifford , kay hughes , janice jarrett , rosina lawrence , joan perry , cecilia parker , barbara pepper , june travis , helen wood ) .

for 1938 , the movie companies selected their " lucky 13 " starlets : mary maguire , jane bryan , mary russell , jacqueline wells ( later , julie bishop ) , phyllis brooks , betty jaynes , helen troy , olympe branda , barbara read , joan woodbury , sigrid gurie , franciska gaal and margaret tallichet .

in 1940 , the motion picture publicists association selected 13 " baby stars " ( " the mapa baby stars ? " ) . they were : ella bryan , lucia carroll , peggy diggins , lorraine elliott , jayne hazard , joan leslie , kay leslie , marilyn [ lynn ] merrick , gay parkes , lois ranson , sheila ryan , patricia van cleve , tanya widrin .

an last and probably least : in 1956 , a group of veteran stars - among them wampas baby ginger rogers - chose a bevy of beauties supposed to be known as - the wampas baby stars . but there was no longer any western association of motion picture advertisers and the idea fizzled . the selection took place nevertheless and 15 " babies " were chosen : phyllis applegate , roxanne arlen , joleen brand , donna cooke , barbara hoffman [ eden ] , jewell lain , barbara marx , lita milan , norma nilsson , ina poindexter , violet rensin , dawn richard and , finally , delfin thursday ( delfin thursday ? ! ) .
