Morant (1981) Mr.
Bruce Beresford Director
This movie speaks to the the very real spirit of
the Australian genre in their rejection of impersonal application of rules and
sense of decorum in the face of the needs of real and true humane and indeed
beautifully human ideals of justice and goodness at the end of the day.
Considered expendable by the Brits (Gallipoli is another very great movie on a
similar theme) some Australian soldiers during the time of the Boer war are
out on trial for actions they
deem to have been defensible. In order to make expediency reign over real truth and fair play, The British are out to make martyrs of them and in the end you find yourself fighting the system in favour in individual heroism, something the Aussies are known for as a great peoples indeed Michael Rizzo Chessman |
Trailer for above movie will be posted here soon. Thank you for your patience
