Masterpiece from the master

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2014)

When i saw this movie out, i said "i must watch it quickly !" Because i know there will be no movie about Gallipoli war like this for a long time. Hollywood never tried to enter this area. Luckily we have Russell Crowe, an Australian brave heart. It's true, you never know what reactions may come from people who lost their families at Gallipoli for both sides. He took hard responsibility for it and showed great courage.
First, I want to criticize about dubbing. I really wanted to watch it with cast's original voices. I know it's meant to be for Turkish people who doesn't speak English but personally i didn't like it. Anyway, it's not about the movie so skip it. Sound, music, story, background, colors, special fx are high class and deserve to watch. The story balance is a bit to Turkish side as if it tries to give the message to ANZACs "why are you here even if you don't know where Turkey is on the map". It's just my opinion though.
The story is absolutely heart touching, no doubt. At the very beginning, the movie already touched my heart by the war scene with a child soldier. It's very emotional moment for me because lots of child soldiers died during the WW1. And i can imagine Australian and NZ viewers (especially mothers) cry for Eliza's (Connor's wife) situation. For Turkish and Australia-NZ sides, the movie deserves very special place which can't be replaced. For the others, it is a very very good war drama you've watched in years.
