It’s depressed in the crude that the First World War has largely fallen by the wayside. If we hear anything about the conflict at all, it’s usually on the History Channel or another network airing a documentary paunchy of grainy, dim and white clips of men stumbling over the top of trenches. Interest in historical events tends to plunge off significantly when those eager pass away, and in the case of the generation that fought this horrific war not only have they exited the stage, they have left the building as well. I developed a life long interest in “the war to kill all wars” after seeing Peter Weir’s 1981 film “Gallipoli” in a slight, hurry down art house theater at the age of ten. I didn’t understand the historical context at the time, but this dramatic interpretation of events that unfolded in the Dardanelles during 1915 left a lasting impression on my impressionable mind. I recently rewatched the film and can say that it peaceful works as an intense drama and as a serious antiwar statement. Weir’s overt hostility toward the British commanders at Gallipoli, however, doesn’t stand up as well. By the arrangement, this is one of the films that propelled Mel Gibson to international stardom.

Weir decided to focus his film not on the massive armies battling away in Europe, but on two individuals living in Australia. Archy Hamilton (Impress Lee) and Frank Dunne (Mel Gibson) are two of the fastest runners in the country. Hamilton trains with his demanding grandfather, who promises the young lad that if he works hard he may yet go down as the next national sports hero. Frank, on the other hand, wanders around the country with a few buddies taking any job he can salvage and generally unprejudiced having a lot of fun. News of the escalating war in Europe is vague and distant, referenced only when someone brings up a news yarn they saw in the paper. Archy wants to go and fight, attracted by the lure of glory that has suckered millions of young people since the dawn of time into anxiety. Frank doesn’t deem of war as glory, and when his pals bring up the belief of enlisting he quietly makes his set known. Both of these young men’s lives are forever changed after the slay up competing against each other in a foot run at a regional attractive. Archy barely wins, but a friendship develops between the two that soon finds Frank tagging along when Archy decides to enlist in the famed cavalry. Frank agrees to join with Archy, once he discovers that the ladies fancy a soldier, but goes into the infantry after failing to qualify for the light horse unit.
It really doesn’t matter anyway since horses won’t develop a bit of disagreement when the ANZAC (Australian and Unusual Zealand Army Corps) soldiers head first to Egypt and then the Dardanelles for combat against the Ottoman Turks. What the war disaster needs are bodies excellent of running headlong into a withering wall of machine gun fire, and cavalry troops minus their steeds will work in this capacity unprejudiced as well as infantrymen. Before they approach the killing fields, Archy and Frank reunite during a training exhaust in Egypt. Hamilton convinces his commander to enlist Dunne in the cavalry, claiming that his skills as a runner rival his hold and that both men will acquire a major contribution to the regiment. Weir shows us plenty of carefully crafted scenes of the men having a kindly time in Cairo, of the deepening camaraderie taking residence even as the war looms larger and larger in the background. The movie takes a doom and gloom turn as the ANZAC forces land at Gallipoli to buy portion in the fighting. Casualties mount as attacks designed to expand the beachhead fail under Turkish machine guns. Soon, Archy and Frank know they will have to go over the top too, and realize they will certainly perish in the process. The conclusion to “Gallipoli” is one of the most emotionally grinding, soul shattering denouements in motion characterize history.

The only thing I found extremely irritating about “Gallipoli” is the cheesy synth musical catch, which now sounds so early 1980s that it dates the relate terribly. I judge the message about how people join up to go to war for all the execrable reasons, however, is quiet highly relevant. And if there was any war that everyone should have avoided, it was World War I. Generals and leaders tranquil subscribed to antiquated notions of warfare, never taking into record machine guns, poison gas, and airplanes would decimate the troops. The fatalities were truly appalling, with millions perishing in muddy trenches during the four year conflict. Weir expertly depicts the squalid conditions of the trenches, but he goes too far blaming the film’s fatal charge on the British commanders. First of all, far more British soldiers died during the campaign in the Dardanelles than did members of ANZAC. Second, why area the onus for the war on the British? Plenty of commanders on all sides made mistake after mistake in this conflagration, mistakes that resulted in so many fatalities that it’s a wonder humanity didn’t rise up and cast their leaders into the fire.
“Gallipoli” wins the day in the kill thanks to the charm of Stamp Lee and Mel Gibson. Weir’s cinematography sinks its claws in as well. Check out the shots of the Australian outback, the Red Unfavorable party, and the landing at Gallipoli to learn why. The transfer looks righteous, but the only extra on the disc is a short interview with Weir about the making of the film. I wanted a commentary track for this film desperately, and serene hope a special edition will reach on the market in the arrive future. If you haven’t seen “Gallipoli,” check it out soon.
There’s been a few things said about this movie, several reviewers mentioned that it was slow-moving, and another pointed out with exasperating pedantry the historical inaccuracies, but I’d like to say that I consider ‘Gallipoli’ is a top-notch movie. It was well shot and well acted, the characters were genuine and believeable, the secure was magnificient, the anecdote was captivating, and although the script had less action than, say, ‘Saving Private Ryan’ it also wasn’t wasteful - one wouldn’t have cared about the people if one didn’t know them.

Which is also the point. If `Gallipoli’ wasn’t historically suitable, and it’s tough to record a yearlong sage in an hour and a half, one does fetch the point. Which, of course, is that wars, especially this one, and especially this battle, are tiresome, self-serving and pointlessly destructive endeavors.
I’m dumbfounded by the reviewer who chose to lambaste the portrayal of the British officers in the campaign. I’m surprised an Aussie would say that, but then again there’re plenty of Yanks who’ll second guess Harry S Truman from now till the destroy of time, so who am I to contemplate. While I’m the first to admit that those words were probably not said, I have to bear that the blue blood of the capital officers taught them not to give a damn about the sweat and blood of some unpleasant sons-of-criminals from a lost colony. I’m not alone, and I quote from John Merriman’s History of Current Europe, p1059, “Other [historians] agree with most contemporaries who believed that [Gallipoli] was a needless diversion dictated by British colonial interests in the Middle East and for which Australian and Unusual Zealander troops paid a disproportionate stamp.”
The aristocratic attitude of the officers in the Vast War was the single thing that caused the casualty rates The well-bred officers didn’t care that they were sending men with bolt-action rifles against entrenched machine guns because they were fair peasants (or Australians) anyway. That is the historical truth, and I for one like how it came out in the training sequence as well as the battle sequences of this movie. It belongs in the collection of anybody who doesn’t want to go to war.
