Description

Three journalists, Charles Bean, Ellis Ashmead Bartlett and Phillip Schuler, arrive at Gallipoli with the invading British and Allied troops in 1915. They will report the war but are prevented from getting out the true story of an unfolding disaster. From encampment in Cairo to Anzac Cove to the evacuation, this is the story of journalists who will not accept that truth be the first casualty. This is the story of the men who will not shut up. The actions of these men will help change the course of the campaign, ensure that a strategic disaster becomes a legend of human heroism, and leave an impregnable mark on each of their lives.

    Well, I just wrote a longish review here, but touched the wrong spot on the screen and deleted it. So I will keep this short and sweet. I enjoyed the movie with the great camera work of the scenery and battle segments. The acting was fine if a little wooden in places. The three main characters, the journalists, just me as a bit two-dimensional overall. Two of them hard drinkers, cheated in their work, and cynical and therefore irresistible to gorgeous women (presumably homely ladies found them less so.) The third reporter was honest but that worked against him with the soldiers he was with. All three reporters grew as characters and became more likable. It is a tribute to the soldiers from countries like Australia and New Zealand who gave their all serving under bungling British military leadership.
