A divine classic

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2015)

An excellent World War 1 feature that details the quest of one man who lost his three sons in the ANZAC campaign of Gallipolli. Having the skill to find water in the bleak and bone dry Australian outback our protagonist Connor (Russell Crowe) goes to the Turkish peninsula where he believes he will find his lost sons.
A very moving and emotional story that will capture the hearts of many. The couple sitting beside me were shed to tears as the narrative resolves. True some back stories are a little predictable and unrealistic but at least they get resolved to a logical standpoint. While watching I was trying to find any hint of bias but not once could I find any tendency towards the ANZACs in what is very unlikely in any flick especially in War films.
Its been hard to put my love for this film in words and maybe I could do it only if I were making a video review but don't be dissuaded by a couple cheesy references or a few predictable scenes this film is truly a masterpiece and I loved it from the very first to the last second.
