      What are your legs? Steel springs! How fast are you going to run? As fast as a jaguar!

      For Mel Gibson, my impression of him comes from the movie "Brave Heart", and I believe everyone is the same. However, Gallipoli, as an early work of Mel Gibson, seems a little uninterested. At that time, Mel Gibson was still a young Australian actor (not well-known) and was a bit young, so he participated in this Australian native film. (This is also my first time watching an Australian movie)

      The film tells about the war between Australia and Turkey during the First World War (Battle...

      The movie itself is set against historical events, which is very worth seeing for history fans.

      The beginning of the movie progressed relatively slowly. First of all, it started with the hero's character setting and portrayed a passionate, confident and stubborn young runner. Met the male number two in a game and decided to join the army together. At first, many Australians thought they understood the cruelty of war, and took training as a vacation-buying souvenirs, showing off their...

      War Is Raw!

      The plot is no longer said, because it is a heavy topic. What a bloody contrast between the young people running and frolicking on the vast grasslands of Australia and the soldiers falling under each other's guns!
            
        When human beings were born, they might never have thought that there would be war, such a lingering nightmare, lingering with themselves. "Bible × Genesis" says At the beginning, it was good. But this kind of goodness no longer exists with the development of...

      The first 100 minutes of the film are probably the most relaxing war movie I've ever seen, these Australian soldiers seem to be on vacation. The contrast between this absurd leisure and the end of total extinction is so strong that this theme film from the 1980s still looks extraordinary today. It also reminded me of the most tragic battle in Australian history -...

      At the beginning of the chapter, the soldiers thought that war was a game, and they played and slapped as much as they wanted. As the film progressed, gunshots and roars of pain sounded. Bloody slaughter emerged before their eyes. He closed his eyes and prayed, and ran desperately, hoping that the doom of death would not come to him. But on the battlefield only accompanied by the god of...

    Background creation

    It is different from those war films that are full of excitement and heroism. "Gallipoli" more reflects the sincere friendship and the growth of character in the war. It criticizes and reflects on the destructive consequences of the absurd and ignorant war from the perspective of ordinary people. The film is structured into two parts. The first part describes the friendship and life of the young partners, and the second part is the...
