How is power presented in both Stolen and Rabbit-Proof Fence and what message(s) are audiences left with about it?

Throughout Rabbit-Proof Fence by Phillip Noyce, and Stolen by Jane Harrison, the audiences can be anxious at how white people use power impacts Aboriginal lives. The appearance of power is presented as discrimination influence strongly on Aboriginal extraordinary activities; Aboriginal people are victims of abuse; and power cannot control Aboriginals’ personal ambition to overcome arduous conditional lives. Moreover, Noyce and Harrison clarify to child removal policy which cause to bad consequences, as: power used to be a toll that caused unequal treat. Furthermore, the result of the abuse that cannot be recovered. However, adversity cannot prevent people defeating challenge. Therefore, Rabbit-Proof Fence and Stolen subtly show how power is spread through Australians and Indigenous lives harshly and leaving audiences considerate about the messages in both texts. The power of control impacts on Aboriginal lives in form of discrimination. Noyce and Harrison let audiences’ sympathy for what power leads to occurs to Aboriginal through racism period. In Rabbit Proof-Fence, Noyce sets the character, Mr. Neville, as a government authoritarian, has seemly the most powerful in the film. He checks children's skin colour because he supposes that who have fair skin will be cleverer than others. Moreover, he argues that Aboriginal people must ask him for permission from marrying to buying usual things, even shoes. It proves that power belongs to Australian government authoritarian as Mr. Neville. The set series of unequal rules in society leading prejudices on Aboriginals, and it causes racism. People tend to think that white people are more superior and behave haughtily to the Aboriginals. Similarly, although Harrison does not focus on power is held by a specific character, she concentrates that power is spread through whites’ life. In Stolen, Anne's white parents expect her to be upset that her Aboriginal mother because they regard Anne's Aboriginal parentage as a source of shame. It demonstrates that power is being alternated by discrimination when white parents expect children release their traditional culture, and her birth identity. Both Harrison and Noyce put them into the viewers' position and take surveillance of how harsh the power is forcing Aboriginals when it obviously brings prejudice and racism over generations. As a result, they leave the message that powerful influencing causes family members are separated, force them to give up traditional culture, and supposed to be Aboriginals less intelligent than whites. Therefore, they use power in terms of discrimination to let viewers know how it harshly impacts on people's lives. Power is represented as the cause for Aboriginal people becoming victims who live under the days in abusing both physical and emotional sufferings. Both Harrison and Noyce demonstrate audiences to feel unpleasant and guilt for abusing behaviour from Australian doing on Aboriginal. In Rabbit-Proof Fence, the director establishes these issues through Mavis's situation, which integral part characterizes the audience's mind. Honestly, Mavis is sexually exploited by a white boss for a long time: "Don't go, Molly. Please don't go. He comes back if you go. Don't go. " It indicates how hopeless she must suffer. Noyce highlights how Mavis suffers sexual abuse, and she represents a fundamental part that not rarely occurs to Aboriginal people mostly. They surrender in front of the pain that white people bring to them. In this case, power stays as a white boss, who holds the authority to trap an Aboriginal's life. Likely, in the Stolen, Harrison creates a character, who is Ruby returns with a doll after having been sexually abused. It lets audiences imagine the cruel behaviour of some white people who represent power. Through Stolen, audiences cannot think white people can make molestation to a young girl as Ruby. Power causes them to suffer physical wounds in the body and live with emotional injuries. Consequently, both director and writer message that the pain white people did on Aboriginals can live in their soul. It causes them to lose their future and passing most of their lives in shadow. Finally, there is nothing can heal their pain, the pain from power, which represents comprehensive physical and mental wounds that influence Aboriginal generations. Power is a pressure push Aboriginal keep overcoming and reaching a brighter future. Both Stolen and Rabbit-Proof Fence, audience admired for Aboriginals’ determination when harsh lives are not a reason to stop them from overwhelming the lousy situation. In Rabbit-Proof Fence, despite Molly knowing she will receive the same punishment as a girl, who tries to escape, she is determined and keeps trying to liberate and find a way to go home. It shows that Molly's power is courage. She dares to challenge and accepts the risk if she loses. Moreover, the power now is represented as family values, which motivates Molly beats obstacles because she knows mother is waiting. They do not give up on bad situations, and they keep hoping for an optimistic future. Likely, in the Stolen, Shirley's past is full of hopelessness because of losing both her daughter and son. 'I didn't get a chance to be a mother to Kate and Lionel, and now I'm going to be a grandmother. ' It shows audiences that although Shirley regrets losing a chance to be a mother, she did not live with sadness. Audiences can feel and seemly touch Shirley's happiness when she copes with the pessimistic memories to accept new values, she becomes a grandmother. Throughout both texts, Noyce and Harrison leave the important message: adversity is not a reason stop people attempting, let try and people can get the deserved values. Additionally, power represents the pressure that always pushes Aboriginals to try and liberate themselves to find a better future. In conclusion, the film Rabbit-Proof Fence and Stolen successfully leaves too many actual values in audiences' minds. They realise power exists under forms, from discrimination to physical and emotional abuses. And finally, power represents pressure pushing Aboriginals to overcome and reach a higher worth future. Eventually, Noyce and Harrison leave messages about unequal treat between non-Indigenous and Aboriginal people. The bad consequences that white did on the Aboriginal body and lives through physical and emotional sufferings; let always deal with and overcome challenge, people will receive worth values. Therefore, although power represents in both text in form of negative influences, it is also the motivation which push Aboriginals to reach a brighter future.
