An Aussie Story of the Great War
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
I chose to buy this movie after seeing it on television and deciding that it was one of the best war movies I've ever seen. This movie zooms in on the war experience of two guys during World War One. I love how the movie captures the excitement and joy of all the soldiers as they move towards the front and then the despair following their introduction to the realities of war. This movie is as much about friendship as it is about war, and I think that is what really makes it worth seeing. Another interesting facet of this movie is how it shows the feelings and attitudes of Australians towards the Great War and the feelings of the Aussie soldiers towards their Turkish enemy. For much of us here in the U.S., we only know about the American perspective of the war and our main enemy of Germany during that war. To see Turks and Aussies battling it out also reminds me of why this was a world war. Overall, it is a great film with great acting, especially Mel Gibson, and worth seeing.
