The Lingering Pain of Loss
“The Water Diviner” takes place in 1919. An Australian farmer Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) travels to Turkey to retrieve the remains of his three sons, lost in the Battle of Gallipoli campaign of World War I. When he arrives in Istanbul, he encounters others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), a beautiful young widow whose own husband was killed in the war; her young son, Orham (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdogan), a Turkish officer who fought against Connor’s boys and who may be Connor’s only hope for closure. With one obstacle after another in his path, Connor must travel across the Turkish landscape to discover the truth.<br /><br />“The Water Diviner” marks Russell Crowe’s debut as director. He uses flashbacks to show the three brothers on the battlefield and the brutality of warfare. Though intense and bloody, the battle scenes are not the primary attraction of the film. This is not a movie that glorifies war. It is about the heavy burden of loss for people on both sides of the conflict. Historically, Gallipoli was a key event in the emergence of Australia and New Zealand, former colonies of the British Empire, as individual nations.<br /><br />“The Water Diviner” is quite a task for a first-time director. Crowe successfully blends the personal story of Connor with the background of the recent, devastating battle while turning in a believable performance. His acting method of choice is underplaying and letting his reactions communicate what he’s thinking. He admirably handles the film’s spectacle while keeping in focus its characters. Too often, in a movie such as this, spectacle takes precedence over character development. Ultimately, “The Water Diviner” is the story of a sad quest. Incorporating elements of “Shenandoah,” in which a father can’t stay neutral when his sons are drawn into war, and “Saving Private Ryan,” with its graphic up-close images of horror and death in battle, Crowe chronicles the journey of a man looking for what he hopes will bring him peace.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray release include a behind-the-scenes, making-of featurette and an overview of the Battle of Gallipoli on its 100th anniversary.
