Why Hollywood Loves This Austrailian Tech Company
- Safety1stClyde 10y agoMaybe it is time for Australians to outgrow the narrative that any time an Australian company succeeds at doing anything, it is a "David versus Goliath" story or some kind of absurdly hopeful "against all odds" narrative. It's getting very tedious when every single success in Australia is described in these terms.
- someguydave 10y agoI've visited a few Commonwealth nations (I'm an American) and what strikes me as amusing is the way in which they monopolize the local media. You would think that it would be cheap in a "free media" environment to just retransmit US (or UK) media and not bother with local content production- but that never happens. They all have their own government controlled media content outlets. I guess the point I'm making is that in general the TV tells people what to think - and each country is very careful to ensure that it says the right things, even if there is a "free press". By the way the same goes for the US - it's pretty likely that lots of US folk would watch foreign English media but somehow it's just "not available".
