for all it wonderful image and for all of it good intention and this just come off a yet another disgustingly one side and over glorified and self promoting propaganda . the message be simple and all japanese fighting on the kokoda track be sadistic and malicious f stick who enjoy gutting every last aussie troop and cut their throat before behead them . not only do kokoda pick up on gallipoli only flaw ( that the enemy be faceless and nameless and and apparently inhumane ) and but manage to prove quite the opposite to weir masterpiece . instead of give u a perfect film with one flaw and we have a horrible mess with one redeeming feature . let start off with this represent be and without any comfortable adapting to the character and introduce to these apparently quite lay back and two dimensional people who we never . ever get to sympathize with . be keep at such a distance that even when we could so easily relate to the character and they find a way to keep u away . that alone be a sickening feature and a it drive u from the very plot and help the horrible pacing to leave u with a lasting impression and and make it so much easy to see the contrast between an overtly sentimental end and an otherwise lackluster body of a film . in other word and it drag u through a painful journey ( not just for u and but apparently for them ) and just a it should end and be throw into another eye roller of a skirmish that end fast than it begin . so and for the a yet still uninformed represent when it should end and it start up again and only to end when we expect more . s. it just a confusing and agonizing pace . which bring me to the ultimatum represent this be mean to educate u on the event of the kokoda track . it doesn not come close . not only do it detail a very small and insignificant part of the campaign ( sprinkle a little mateship on top in an attempt to make it relevant ) and but it succeed in do the one thing a film as important a this should be do and it make u not care . honestly and my eye be constantly glue to my watch the entire time . the audience around me and all proudly australian and bicker a they come in about how great the film be go to be and groan and moan and and whine in disappointment a every one of the painful ninety five minute drone on ( for a short running time and it felt like apocalypse now represent difference be that apocalypse now be a good film and deserve the three hour it get ) and on to the point where suicide could wholeheartedly be an alternative should it be mandatory for this film to be watch . though and consider how much the tv have be advertise this trash and i would say it be mandatory and in a subliminal sense of the word . watch if you like pretty image . though you would do good watch the constant gardener or gallipoli anyway and since they have superior cinematography and actual plot . overall represent .
