Men in Rabbit Proof Fence

The only aboriginal man in the entire film is the Tracker. Why? What is the purpose of showing only aboriginal women?

  1. The purpose of showing only aboriginal women in the film is that it creates an atmosphere for the viewer, allowing a better perception of the events. It may also be because the aboriginal women are having children with white men, whereas it is less common for aboriginal men to have "creamy" children.

  2. I'm wondering where are the rest of the aborignal men in the story why aren't they at the school. I guess they could be in the army. I think the purpose is to show you that aborignal woman are having children with the white men.

  3. The purpose of showing only aboriginal women is so people see that they get trained their whole life just to be servants.

  5. I think it is because the main characters are girls so they dont have as many men in the movie.

  7. I believe they only showed women to show the servant type "school" they go to, and how terrible it was.

  8. I think the directors must have thought that aboriganal men must have not been important to the story line.

  9. I think that they only showed woman beacause if they showed how the men were treated, then the movie would have been too long.

  11. I was wondering why there wasn't any aborignal men in the movie while we were watching it. I'm am not sure why they only showed aboriginal woman other than the tracker. I think it was because the movie is about the 3 aborignial girls and how they were taught how to be servants at the "school".

  12. I think they showed an aboriginal to show how men were treated. The purpose of showing an aboriginal women would be to see the difference of how men were treated and how women were.

  13. I thought it was strange that Tracker was the only aboriginal man in the movie. I think that they mostly showed aboriginal women because they wanted to show thwe terrible jobs they had to do and how they were treated.

  17. I think that they only showed woman to make you think about where the men are. Or it could be to show you that the men have gone to help the whites. The tracker was not the only aboriginie though. There was also the man that the girls ran into out in the field.
