Brian Curragh Posted 3 February , 2009 Share Posted 3 February , 2009 I recently caught up with Peter Weir's "Gallipoli" (Mel Gibson etc) - and wanted to see what the reaction had been on the Forum to the film's treatment of the action being featured (the Light Horse attack on The Nek) - in particular, as I am not at all well read on the topic, how accurate the portrayal of the characters & events were. But I cannot find (via Search) any apparent threads on the film - or on "A Very Long Engagement" as another example - on the presumption that these films were discussed - have the threads been lost over time? If anyone can comment on the accuracy of "Gallipoli" - I would be interested to hear their thoughts. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 3 February , 2009 Share Posted 3 February , 2009 Mare's nest there, Gallipoli by Peter Weir. There is a thread about films, another more savvy person might provide the link. Another film is The Light Horsemen. And a mini series, The Anzacs. Cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone can point me at the thread. Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 3 February , 2009 Share Posted 3 February , 2009 There was a suggestion a while ago that there might be a separate Forum section for film discussions. I wonder if it might be rethought: the Culture Pages might be a suitable slot for a sub-Forum, possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Clay Posted 3 February , 2009 Share Posted 3 February , 2009 Reviews of 'Gallipoli' here (search terms +Gallipoli +film) and reviews of 'A Long Engagement' here (search terms "long engagement"). Before the Culture Pages forum was set up, film reviews tended to appear under Books etc. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree with Mr Broomfield that a movie sub-forum would be a more obvious repository... Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
