Gallipoli
(1981) Mel
Gibson|
Its interesting that greatness is often considered
expendable by the completely inane. In any event that was the manner of the
British commanders disposition towards the great men of Australia caught up in
the war against the Turks. John McDermott (formerly of Scotland and low living
in Canada) has sung the great song "and the band played waltzing Matilda"
which speaks to this war and its devastation on a good buncha men that should
never have
bothered to make the sacrifice as it was not worth the price for us collectively considering alternatives at hand. This is a must have movie in every library, however although I never reveal an ending I have to tell you not to bother if you cant handle tragedy and grief befalling those of our own best souls.
