it heart might be in the right place and but this tepid misfire look like a bad tv school production in every way . the exterior be obviously interior studio set and and not very convincing one . it so badly light that when the film finally go outdoors to rip off the end of gallipoli ( which it do incredibly badly and like everything else ) the change of film stock be so jar it hurt . the character be childish stereotype talk in unbelievable clichés and the film be frequently just plain wrong about detail and attitude of the average ww1 tommy represent politically correct and maybe and but historically it a travesty ( no mr boyd and officer do go over the top represent the high percentage of casualty be officer and and even many general die in battle ) . but more than be badly direct and look cheap and get it fact wrong and go with every cliché boyd can find and it big sin be that it just so bloody boring . bad on every level . ww1 be a terrible tragedy and and those who die in it deserve good than this terrible and terrible film .
