      Occupy the road

      Places I haven't been to, history I have never understood. While admiring the exotic charm of Turkey, without sigh, war is extremely cruel in any corner of the world, not because of the bloody and violent process. There is no justice at all and the war itself seems unavoidable. Gallipoli was 100 years ago. Fortunately, regardless of the history of this land, what is left in the end is a devastated world and a broken life. These and those distant pasts seem to be historical fate. Many people in...

      Looking for water

      At the beginning of the film, the life of a family begins in a well

      In the middle of the film, the mother’s life ends in the water

      The climax of the film, the lives of father and son are reborn in the well

      Of course, there are Russell playing with his lonely wife and children in the underground water cellar. Although the film does not seem to be closely integrated with the title of "The Master of Water", in fact, water is involved in every important node. Russell is also...

      Arousing your sadness shouldn't be the reason for your low score

      I said it was a movie about looking for a son; the female ticket said it was a case movie. We all guessed it.

      Russell is a beloved actor, a gladiator, and a beautiful heart. People's love for him even when they see the acne on his face, they all think it is cute.

      At first glance, this movie is a heavy topic that people don't want to mention. The female ticket told me that Russell himself had lost his nine-year-old child, so he came to act. It was really... (it couldn't be more...

      War is cruel, but good people are rewarded.

      War is cruel, but good people are rewarded.
      In three days, 9,000 people died in Australia and Turkey. After the war, there was one and only one father looking for the sons who could not return home. This is also the cause of the story. The movie is full of unknown forces and always guides this father who has nothing. At the beginning, I was puzzled, two iron bars, one horse and one dog. You can find groundwater by digging a little bit of soil. Good cow! After that, the wife couldn't bear...

      Since the virgin land, let's leave a footprint.

      It feels very subtle. Because it is a war-themed movie and it is a big-name leader, it has an inexplicable title. Following the camera, I found that it was an Australian farmer who went to the Turkish battlefield to search for the remains of three dead sons. If you are interested in history, you can feel the turbulent history of the split of the Ottoman Empire along with the language of the lens. If you are not interested, you will be more passive. Fortunately, the theme is very clear, love...

      So ugly. The whole story is messy and has no point. It's all about love. The male and female protagonists put on a rude expression to interpret the morality. It has a fight with the "unbreakable" directed by...

      The protagonist's halo is that he can't die no matter what. The director and protagonist Luo Xiaoqiang created a good father image in order to promise to find his son far and wide, but in Turkey just a few days ago, he sympathized with the hotel owner and made friendship with the Turkish resistance elements, relying on his intuition. Looking for my son...what the hell are...

      It's ok, it's a literary and artistic film that is more romantic to commemorate those who died in the war. Some people may find it...

      you fight you die you get nothing. It really has the mentally retarded spirit of the Australian people. I feel that the Australian people have not pursued for so many years. There is nothing but Gallipoli. This film is purely for Russell Crowe. This film was originally made for the turkey people. It's an advertisement, but why is that turkey girl played by a hairy? And I think the stalk of İstanbul's roof can run, is it rotten? For example, have you used it in...

      Although I haven't been completely moved by the plot, the scenery in the movie is really beautiful. I like the last scene the most. Uncle Russell drinks coffee filled with sugar. The male and female protagonists look at each other and smile. The light in the courtyard is so warm that it makes people...

    Evaluation action

    Most Hollywood war films attract the audience's attention with the fierce battle scenes of thousands of troops. The bombing that cannot be stopped in the film is more often the selling point of the film, like the war of love and love like "The Water Diviner" Films are really rare. In many cases, the highest political leaders take national sacrifices for granted. Especially during wars, the sacrifices that soldiers need to make are not...

    • Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: What were you doing before the war?

      Major Hasan: This is Ottoman Empire, there is no such a thing as before the war here. But in another life I was an architect.

    • Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: Yeah, We both know it, but why change everything for one father who can't stay put?

      Major Hasan: Because he is the only father who came looking.

    • Connor: She wanted them buried in consecrated ground.

      Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: How much blood do you need for it to be holy?
