I first saw this movie for English class in high school. It wasn't the same as the movies you saw in the cinemas. Not a guns-blazing-hero epic like Commando, but a slower paced drama, where the image of the war clashes with reality. The diggers go for the adventure, but see their mates die all around them, not just due to the Turks but the incompetence of the British Commanders. scipioafricanus Are you some war movie connoisseur? |

I have seen a few. Nearly all WW1 have the "Lions lead by Donkey" ethos from the late 60s to 70s. |
