The discussion regarding the intentions of the director of ‘End of the Line’ suggest the film was designed to offer insight into the true nature of living in such isolation. The documentary sets out to reveal the harshness of the outback,which is often, according to the director, a reality that is grossly underestimated. In relation to the shock factor of the film, I believe the director achieved such an objective. However, I believe the film functioned counterproductively in the sense that it offered elaborate insight into the central character that was the older woman with strong religious beliefs. To such degree, the film became somewhat of a personalised definition of the nature of living, through the eyes of this strongly assertive woman. I found the film to be slightly alienating as the common opinion of those featured in the film insinuated that ‘city people’ lead somewhat overly distracted and   frivoulous lives. I found the choice of participants narrow as it did not spread across a wide ranged age group, which does not offer a broad view of all opinions held in Broken Hill. I found the photographic elements of the film worked greatly in corresponding and supplementing the isolated nature of Broken Hill (for instance, the long duration of the still long shots of the land).
