Self Indulgenges rubbish and and insult to our Gallipolli hero's

Rating: 3/10 (24 February 2015)

Just another of Russell Crowe's self indulgent movies. The Ottoman Empire picked the wrong Allie during WW1 (Germany) and we are expected to feel that we Australians were the aggressors. From 1915 to 1921 the Ottoman Empire eliminated 1,000,000 of their neighbor's namely Assyrians and Greeks yet in Crowe's movie the Greeks are type cast as the bad guys. What a load of crap! The final escape by Crowe and his last surviving son was ludicrous with the invading Greeks mortaring the hillside just to blow up two non military and non Turkish individuals. Prior to that, in the train scene, Crowe managed to escape his Greek captives by hitting them with a cricket bat despite the fact that he had numerous weapons at his disposal. It is disappointing that in the 100th year anniversary of the Gallipolli campaign this over rated New Zealander can muddy the water and try to change the facts for the sake of making a few cheap bucks.
