60000 Australians fought at Gallipoli they sustained 27,209 casualties. The battle is very important to both Australia and New Zealand and said to be the start of a national consciousness for both countries. Over 416000 enlisted in WWI and 33000 served overseas they sustained casualties of around 215000.

Another great Australian war movie to check out is Breaker Morant (1980) set during the Second Boer War (1899-1902).

The man who came up with the Gallipoli campaign was Winston Churchill then First Lord of the Admiralty.

Most British generals always considered the ANZACs as unruly and undisciplined soldiers from their experiences in the Beor Wars. As such, they were seeking an early opportunity in WW1 to “blood the Australians” to force them to be more compliant to British commands. The incredible loss of life due to these crazy commands by the British Army at Gallipoli eventually saw the Australian government forcing the point and refusing to commit troops to certain campaigns without direct Australian command later on the Western Front.

A total of 600 allied soldiers fought at the Nek 234 killed and 138 wounded a total of 372.

About charging with unloaded rifles this was done to maintain momentum and avoid the distraction of firing during the initial assault. To maintain a swift intimidating advance and not rely on potentially inaccurate rifle fire.

The ending shot of the movie is an homage to Robert Capa’s famous photo The Falling Soldier depicting the death of a soldier in The Spanish Civil War.

I was in Denver near the Capitol when I saw a group with Aussie and NZ flags, it was ANZAC day. They told me what it was about and I had just seen The Water Diviner with Russell Crowe, otherwise I wouldn’t have been familiar with Gallipoli in the film, Crowe plays a father who had 3 sons who never returned from Gallipoli and he goes in search of them. It was a beautiful film. I need to get around to watching Gallipoli and your review.

JFME - what's the effective difference between the two uploads?

I remember when The Water Diviner came out. I never saw it but I was intrigued to hear that he directed it.

The thing that they were eating that looked like chocolate chip cookies was actually an oat-raisin mixture known as Anzac Tiles, a drier, tougher version of the Anzac cookies that they bake over there on their memorial (Anzac) day.

I remember seeing this movie when it came out, and it truly stayed with me (although I always mix it with Chariots of Fire, as if they're both one movie; I expect CoF to have Mel Gibson in it, and to end with this shot, and I expect Vangelis in this one...). This time, it truly punched me in the gut. I've been sobbing hard. Yeah, Peter Weir is my guy too! (so thanks, Jeff!) I think the first one of his I watched was Picnic at Hanging Rock, and then Dead Poets Society. I think he's in the same category of director as Rob Reiner: he's done some art-defining masterpieces, but because he himself seems kinda unassuming and he's not dictatorial in his shooting style, people overlook them for the "genius" category. It's a fascinating topic, who gets to be labeled a "genius", and who doesn't, isn't it? There seem to be distinctly aggressive and macho components to the categorization of genius in the arts. I think I blame Picasso.
