'The function of movies lies in its reflection of society. Crocodile Dundee (1986) as a famous Australia movie adapted from a real story, wonderfully demonstrated the difficulties that Aboriginal Australians, or Aborigines, confronted in trying to have their cultural traditions and independent identity respected in [the] modern world, which can be extended to a spirit of all Australians and regarded as part of their 'Australian Dream', under the powerful impact of US-oriented cultural imperialism. By analyzing the movie as well as its reflection on this subject, the thesis suggests what solution progressive Australian forces should take if she hopes to fulfill Australian Dream successfully.'
