I came across someone's post mentio ning it as a great movie. I read quite a lot about the Çanakkale battle and as a foreigner learning Turkish wanted to see it.
But wow, what was that? Fictitious plot, dialogues full of pathos and fake patriotism.
The actors run back and forth between the trenches and discuss what they will do, who goes to the Turkish side and who stays with Australians. Really? They bury their father, a high ranked civil servant in the battlefield? Why?
A real insult to the memories of the martyrs who gave their lives in this battle. The director just exploited them for his family's hype and promotion.
