Gallipoli, 1st World War film about Australian involvement, but not too heavy as it follows the journey through it of two young friends from the sticks.
Always leaves a mark on me when I watch it, but I'm always pleased I have seen it. Educational, moving, sad. |

Gallipoli is a fine anti-war film, but Breaker Morant is better.

Edward Woodward - great film.
Best anti war films, imo, are Paths Of Glory and the two German films All Quiet On The Western Front and The Bridge. |

Hi Mac. Hope you are well, Paths of Glory is a fine film. my dad (still a film buff at 89.) always says anyone who says Kirk Douglas cant act, just watch Paths of Glory. I mentioned this fred to him this evening and he said Das Boot

Hi blackbarn. Fine mate. Hope you and your dad are too. Das Boot was brilliant but a tv series rather than a film, lol. Kirk Douglas was terrific. Ask your dad if he ever saw Ace In The Hole where Kirk starred as a local newspaper reporter covering a story about a man trapped in a mine? He was brilliant in that. If your dad likes war movies, there are some great Russian ones with subtitles which put some off watching. We Fought For Our Motherland was very good.

Review Imdb :
This is one of those movies that have a lasting effect on you. After watching it, I found that it has less to do with the Holocaust and more to do with the human feelings and the beautiful relationship of a father and his son. The holocaust provides the ultimate context, that brings and highlights the story and adds yet another deep dimension to the movie. No such piece of art has ever before combined laughter and tears of sadness in me before and that is the miracle of the movie. The realism of the movie is not its strong point, but then again it is not supposed to be; this helps in bringing the audiences to a state of mind away from reality, focusing on the feelings generated by forgetting about all external events and developments of the war. Despite that, the movie does not fail to point out an element of the nazi psychology demonstrated by the doctor who was obsessed with riddles. This portrayed the nazi 'state of mind' (if ever such an expression existed) as a sick mentally disturbed state. Life is really beautiful as you watch Guido's relentless efforts to make a lovely exciting experience of the concentration camp to his son. You get exhausted just watching him going through his painful day and yet you smile as he speaks to his son and makes him laugh. One can go on forever describing the creativity of this movie, but one will not be able to capture all its beauty in writing. |
