Source Music: Until a gospel song starts playing over the end credits, the only music in the film is that which the characters make themselves. | |

Time-Passes Montage | |
| Sweet Country / int_3dfdc686 | comment |
Time Passes Montage: As Sergeant Fletcher rides out onto the salt pan, the camera shot remains fixed as the action fades to some time later, when his horse is well out onto the the salt pan, and then again, to when he and his horse are a tiny figure in the distance. | |

Once More, with Clarity | |
| Sweet Country / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity!: Brief flashbacks and flashforwards are scattered through the film. It's not always clear on first viewing which are which (or even sometimes that they are flashes, since they're not marked out by any cinematic effects), and many of the flashforwards lack context that only becomes apparent when the action of the film catches up to them. For instance, early in the film, after Sam's niece is threatened by March, there's a brief flashforward of her sitting in shock, covered in blood; it's not until nearly the end of the film that we learn whose. In another case, while Sam is awaiting the outcome of his trial, there's a series of flashes of men building a wooden framework and hauling something heavy up on the end of a rope, with the context implying that they're building a gallows. At the end of the film, the construction is shown more clearly, and it turns out they're building a church under Fred Smith's direction. | |

Take a Moment to Catch Your Death | |
| Sweet Country / int_ae3a3b36 | comment |
Take a Moment to Catch Your Death: The out-of-town judge rules that Sam is not guilty of murder, and orders him to be set free. The white townsfolk aren't happy about it, but don't seem inclined to push it, especially once Sergeant Fletcher offers Sam and his family a police escort out of town. Once they're away, they just have time to relax and start looking toward the future when — blam! — Sam is shot dead by a disgruntled station-owner. | |

Heritage Disconnect | |
| Sweet Country / int_c3c2eea0 | comment |
Heritage Disconnect: At several points in the film, Aboriginal characters working for whites lament that they've lost touch with the culture of their ancestors. Sam and Lizzie, when their flight takes them onto Aboriginal tribal lands, are nearly as out of place there as the white posse pursuing them. | |

| Sweet Country / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: As the pursuit continues (and especially after one member of the posse is killed), the posse members one by one decide that they've had enough and head back to civilisation, until there's only Sergeant Fletcher pushing forward on his own. After he nearly dies and is saved by Sam, he turns back too. | |

Inspector Javert | |
| Sweet Country / int_f178203a | comment |
Inspector Javert: Sergeant Fletcher is determined to bring Sam to justice for what he believes was an unprovoked attack on Harry March, who he feels a kinship with because they were both ex-soldiers. (His attitude visibly changes when Sam gets a chance to tell his story, and Fletcher learns what March was really like.) | |
