" Gallipoli" provides a faithful portrayal of life in Australia in the 1910 s —reminiscent of Weir's 1975 film" Picnic at Hanging Rock" set in 1900 — and captures the ideals and character of the Australians who joined up to fight, as well as the conditions they endured on the battlefield, although its portrayal of British forces has been criticised as inaccurate. It followed the Australian New Wave war film" Breaker Morant"( 1980) and preceded the 5- part TV series" ANZACs"( 1985), and" The Lighthorsemen"( 1987).
