"Gallipoli"

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews the film "Gallipoli", which tells the story of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in World War One. The writer explores the film not only historically as the story unfolded but also focuses on the issues that the film raises including the society back home in Australia, and the amazing camaraderie of the Australian soldiers fighting the battle of Gallipoli.

From the Paper:

"The unlikely and extraordinary friendship between Archy and Frank lies at the heart of the film. While Archy comes from a rural community that embodies the strength and endurance of the Australian outback, Frank represents the decadence and moral corruption of the city. Although Frank is initially resistant to the idea of enlisting in the war, he is inspired by Archy's strength and idealism and decides to go to war with him. The archetypal pattern of a corrupted city individual who can only be redeemed by his noble friend from the bush recurs in many Australian films."
