Gallipoli background creation

2022-04-28 06:01
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 hopeless battle between the Australian and New Zealand forces on the Gallipoli battlefield. In history, the Battle of Gallipoli can be described as the first baptism of Australian soldiers. It is also a typical example of the stupidity and senselessness of the First World War . In the face of the complex situation of this absurd war, no individual’s emotions can be surpassed. That tragic fate can only end in disillusionment, and the vigorous and idealistic adventures of the young Australians can only end in heavy failure. The film has made considerable contributions to the presentation of Australia’s history and culture. The friendship between a simple and noble country boy and a sleek and sophisticated little gangster in the city symbolizes the fusion of Australia’s two most representative cultures. The description of the Battle of Gallipoli also established the image of Australian soldiers in a sense. The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and many international awards that year, and Mel Gibson also won the title of actor for his outstanding performance in the film.

  • Archy Hamilton: What are you going to join, the Infantry?

    Frank Dunne: Not joining anything.

    Archy Hamilton: But you gotta be in it.

    Frank Dunne: Don't have to if you don't want to.

    Archy Hamilton: You gotta be.

  • Archy Hamilton: You of all people should be going.

    Frank Dunne: Why me of all people?

    Archy Hamilton: 'Cause you're an athlete.

    Frank Dunne: [laughs] What's that got to do with it?

    Archy Hamilton: I've got mates who'd be lucky to do the hundred in twelve and they're going to do their bit, so why shouldn't you?

    Frank Dunne: Because it's not our bloody war.

    Archy Hamilton: What do you mean, not our war?

    Frank Dunne: It's an English war. It's got nothing to do with us.

    Archy Hamilton: You know what you are? A bloody coward.

    Frank Dunne: There's only one reason why I haven't knocked you down mate.

    Archy Hamilton: What?

    Frank Dunne: 'Cause I don't feel like carrying you to the next bloody water hole. Now shut up and don't open your yap about the war again!
