Beautiful. I played the dead kraut in the battlefield. And it was an absolute dream first role for my ever first feature film. Easy money too... [In case you missed it, that was sarcasm]

​@@The_Deaf_AussieWere there any ANZACs in this or just Australians?

​@@The_Deaf_Aussiethat much have been a strain on your acting ability.How on earth do you prepare for role of a dead Jerry when you're an Aussie.

@@The_Deaf_Aussie When an Aussie played an German, is it cultural appropriation. That`s note Woke. As a punishment you have to eat vegan for 4 days.

Around 65,000 died from memory

Actual figures. not sure why google isn't used before making comments. www.awm.gov.au/wartime/article2

9000 Aussies and 4000 Kiwies died in Gallipoli.

Incorrect. We lost about 60-65,000 in WW1, approximately 33,000 in WW2 and roughly 2,000 from our involvement in other wars combined in Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. A combined total of approximately 100,000 dead from all wars

and what did all those poor people die for? and more important why did they go thousands of kilometers from their homes to kill Germans and Ottomans? Just waste of poor lives for imperial political ambitions.

Looks great, but hasn't this sort of film genre be done before by 1917 and All Quiet on the Western Front?

This is a story of Australian Soldiers not ANZACs, it is slightly offensive to use this term in this instance because half the name were busy dying at Passchendaele.

TV series ANZACS was GREAT!

@@jrwatkins3872 It was great, apparently Peter Jackson is working on a new movie about the battle of the Kododa Trail in WW2, it's being called "KIWIS".

It's up to individual nations to do that, not the UK. Canada is the only one not to glorify those world wars with dramatic make believe. Documentary recording only.

@@michaeldowson6988 New Zealanders don't even make documentaries

This is just a question but I notice most Australians have great Uncles in WWI but most New Zealanders had Great Grandfathers, do you know why?

@@DaveMaroldahasatinydick no unfortunately I don’t know, I’m English and live in England, Henry Dodson, was my grandmothers brother.

@@douglasspencer745 Thanks Douglas , it "seems" to be a very Australian thing. The other problem is the Australian Government websites throw the term ANZACs around without hesitation when the combat they are describing has absolutely no New Zealand involvement at all, one of the many reasons we loath them.

@@DaveMaroldahasatinydick 😁 well at least it’s only the New Zealanders hating the Australians, we English are supposedly hated by the Welsh Scots Irish and of course the French. Well some of them.

@@douglasspencer745 One of the sad realities was the New Zealanders came under the direct command of the Australians at Gallipoli, which makes sense given the respective sizes of the forces. This meant, unfairly, New Zealanders left the peninsula with a heap of resentment towards the Australians and were happy to separate from them when they arrived in France.

Canadians also played a significant role in the Normandy landing of WWII, as I'm sure you know. That's been overshadowed by the US and UK contribution unfortunately, but the Canadians fought hard.

@@drewsale7288you’re absolutely right - Juno beach - been there - and the Canadians made the most distance inland that day. Taking nothing away from the Brits and Yanks - they fought damn hard - those poor Americans at Utah and Omaha - my god - saw the graves there too. I am thankful for them and the UK. Much respect to all the Allies.

@@sonofculloden2 Great story. It must have been amazing to be at that battle site, they're everywhere in France from both world wars. Hopefully Canada, Australia and New Zealand will shake off their current malaise and get back in the game of defending our shared interests, soon. We can't let the US and UK get all the shine lol.

@@drewsale7288couldn’t agree more with the shake off - sad state of affairs with the three great nations - need to get back on the horse and again become solid allies and partners - and support our US and UK allies. Once Trudeau government is gone and his outrageous spending - perhaps we can get back to a better military to support our troops and allies.

@@sonofculloden2 Yes, all three countries need to ditch their far left governments and go back to doing what works best. I sense a turning of the tide in Australia. People are starting to realise that we're on the road to ruin but it's taken a long time for the public to wake up. Aussies are slow to notice these things, perhaps due to our isolation and realitively good lifestyle.

Yes more of the New Guinea campaign, lae and port.morsby

Check out The Odd Angry Shot if you haven't yet. A great 1970's film about Aussies in Vietnam.

The TV series Anzacs (1980's vintage) is also worth a look. It sometimes appears on You Tube.

Yes the battle of Milan Bay would be fantastic.

No, you want factual documentaries, not make believe.

Yes I know my grandfather was in Lae and port Moresby saw battles but didn't talk about it. There was a book called etched in green I read but was no footage or docos. Would love more info

*ANZAC’s all together deserve recognition

sizin düşünceniz iğrenç! 😠 ülkeniz hiç saldırıya uğramadı ama, aborjinleri katlettiğinizi unutmayın!

Because it was all fought in the trenches.

Newspaper says The film will get a national release on 4 April, 2024

I imagine they'll do festival to lock in a distributor who'll decide that. But 4 April in Australia. I think it will more than make its money back

April

Agreed.As well, would be nice to see more of Canada’s role in WW1. It was extensive.

Just Australians I think judging by the footage - proabably used ANZACS as a marketing ploy.

4 of April❤

That only applies if Kiwis are featured in the story aswell. Otherwise it's just AAC's. Lest we forget. 🤝

​@@haydengoodall6767Finally, thank you for comments. Tired of Skippies using this term when it doesn't involve Kiwis (who were dying at Passchendaele at the time) 👍

@@DaveMaroldahasatinydick Mate NZ needs to make their own damn films about the war. You’ve got Peter Jackson. I heard his pretty good at making big budget movies.

@@wattlebough Peter is making a Mini Series along the lines of the ANZACS. It's about the Battle of the Kododa Trail in WW2, he's calling it "KIWIS".

@@DaveMaroldahasatinydick You’re a flog dude. Cope.

Well if anyone ever did people would call it woke and would probably not do that great in the theaters. Not like Americans have a problem with race or anything like that

@patwiggins6969 NOT if who makes this film does it straight down the line and tells the actual stories WITHOUT INCLUDING at the 21st tired WOKE tropes. Tell the actual historical story. Don’t screw it like they did with Bass Reeves.

@@lawrencehawkins7198 nope it's got black people. Probably a strong black lead. Automatically woke by definition. I don't make the rules. It's just how it is. Maybe in a 90's gangster movie but not in a world war. Gotta be all white all the time or it don't sell

@@lawrencehawkins7198 I have seen better stuff stomped flat for less

@@lawrencehawkins7198 there's already a backlash in this comments section about an Australian movie featuring Australian troops. "Oh so the Australians won the war all by themselves? Where are the British and AMERICAN troops? " Can you imagine the toxicity of having an all black unit doing the same type of movie?

April 4th, I believe

Because your too nice

Don't worry, you always had the best WWI film. A true narrative masterpiece. The crème de la crème. The pièce de résistance. Passchendaele (2008). No but for real, it's probably because the Canadians don't really have any recognizable battles or struggles in WWI. Sure, there's Vimy Ridge, but at the end of the day it was just a hill, and the Canadians suffered the same amount of casualties pretty average for any generic WWI battle. The Germans suffered similar casualty figures in just the first 3 days of the War, before the first battle of the war even reached it's halfway mark. The Canadian Army's "bloodiest day" was the average British or German day. The "Action of 22 August 1917" was so generic and normal for the combatants, it doesn't even have a "Battle of" name and still resulted in over 1,000 more casualties than Canadian deaths at Vimy Ridge. Vimy Ridge didn't even have any impact either, the Germans didn't even consider it a loss; they never even attempted to retake it due to it's insignificance in the region. The only two other events I can think of regarding Canada are the Second Battle of Passchendaele and the Battle of Cambrai, but both of these had similar or larger contributions made by other nations . Let's also mention casualties. We appreciate the sacrifices Canada's young men made, of course. But in terms of troops deployed and casualties taken.. well... At the end of the day, Canada committed just 650,000 men, of which about 66,000 died (0.83% of country's population). Britain committed 6,000,000 men, of which about 880,000 died (1.9% of pop.), Germany called up 13,000,000 with 2,037,000 dying (3.04%), France called up 8,000,000 with 1,300,000 dying (3.25% of total pop). Even Australia called up 416,809 men, of which 58,961 died (1.4%). With half the population of Canada, the Aussies still provided two thirds the amount of troops Canada did. Even despite having a third less troops, they still suffered almost identical death counts. Again, I hate to say it, especially because Canada still sacrificed so many men for our freedoms, but the fact of the matter is from a Hollywood perspective, Canada: 1. Didn't suffer nearly as much as basically any other nation involved. 2. Didn't contribute anywhere close as much to basically any other nation involved. 3. Took part in a significantly lower amount of battles, campaigns and other key events compared to most other nations. It's horrible, but when it comes to filmmaking, there's so little story to tell compared to any other nation they randomly pick out of a hat.

@@Perseus7567 They were the first soldiers to be gassed by the Germans.

Bro!.... Do you hear yourself?. You maybe telling it straight but.... Wanker!.

​@@Perseus7567The huge Canadian contribution in WW2 is also a largely forgotten story.

It's also annoying when Skippies market something as ANZAC when no Kiwis are involved.

time to write the script?

Watch Brotherhood of war. It's a Korean made film about the Korean war. It's amazing. It's about 2 brothers who end up fighting against each other as 1 joins the Sth Korean Army & the other after being passed over, runs off becomes a communist & fights for the North Koreans. It's gory & right up there visually with SPR or Enemy at the Gates. It's a excellent Korean war film with a great story & choc full of the horrors of war. Here is the trailer for it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNNilL2rmZvUd3k.html

Because 97% of the Australian Population and 100% of the Australian TV and Movie people know nothing about that war or Australia role in it.
