		Before Gallipolie, Lee's only listed film was Strange Holiday (1969), in which he was approximately 11 years old.
		This movie features different perspectives of the desert: first in Australia, as Archy and Frank find themselves stranded on the way to Perth, then in Egypt, at the foot of the Pyramids, and then at Gallipoli.
		Haltof contends that this is not a war or anti-war film, but rather a "celebration of the national ideology." He looks at the whole process as the main characters (Archy, Frank) come into manhood, foreshadowed by the reading of Kipling's Jungle Book, where Mowgli becomes a man, early in the film.

	Film-Reviews.com - A quality collection to in-depth movie reviews!
		Acclaimed as one of Australia's finest cinematic achievements, Peter Weir's Gallipoli is an extraordinarily moving anti-war film that, while shot at an epic proportion, is a personal, endearing portrait of two young Australians.
		Through his lengthy lead-in to the final conflict, a deep sense of connection and mateship is forged between the major characters and the audience, making the film's tragic conclusion all the more affecting.
		Most notably, the majority of the Australian scenes are shot with a tighter lens than those in Gallipoli, indicating that once the men found their way to war, they became little more than numbers — human ammunition.

	Mel Gibson
		His international profile increased through Peter Weir 's anti-war First World War film Gallipoli.
		However, not everyone agrees that the film is incontrovertibly anti-semitic.
		Particularly problematic is a scene in the film where the Jewish crowd expressed support for the crucifixion of Christ by shouting His blood be on us and on our children!

	Film Review: Gallipoli (1981)
		Gallipoli is one of my favorite Aussie films (though I often get it confused with The Lighthorse Brigade, as I think I saw them at about the same time when I was young).
		Even though I am the complete couch patatoe when watching films, getting my enjoyment from the least amount of mental effort possible, I like movies that have more in them, as I find that they are generally better thought out and of a higher quality, and so I like these aspects explored in a review.
		This is indeed a devastating film, and one which caused me to follow a young Peter Weir's directorial career from that point.

	Gallipoli (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gallipoli is a 1981 film, directed by Peter Weir and starring Mel Gibson, about several young men from rural Western Australia who enlist in the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War.
		Gallipoli is roughly divided into three parts; the first third is set in Western Australia in May 1915 as the first news of the Gallipoli landings is published, the second third is set in Egypt and the final third at Gallipoli — battle only occupies the final minutes of the film.
		Due to the popularity of the Gallipoli battlefields as a tourist destination, the film is shown each night in a number of hostels and hotels in Eceabat and Çanakkale on the Dardanelles.

	Australian vs New Zealand Film
		Most notably, the mythological Australian anti-authoritarian, anti-British outlook was brought to the fore in films such as Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and Gallipoli (1981).
		The films of each of these nations can be seen, possibly even more so than the nation's literary traditions (which have defined the cultures of the more established nations), to define the nation's cultural traditions and the national archetypal characters.
		Many of the recent Australian or New Zealand films convey a sense of the grandeur of the landscape, portraying the white man's attempts to conquer it (and its people) as futile and absurd — often leading to a sense of hopeless isolation or, more common in New Zealand cinema, madness.

	Gallipoli Standard Release DVD - MovieWeb
		Gallipoli was the recipient of eight prizes at the 1981 Australian Film Institute Awards.
		The first of two consecutive films to see director Peter Weir team with Mel Gibson (the other being The Year of Living Dangerously), Gallipoli follows two idealistic young friends, Frank (Gibson) and Archy (Mark Lee), who join the Australian army during World War I and fight the doomed Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey.
		The second half of the movie chronicles the ill-fated and ill-planned battle, where the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps is hopelessly outmatched by the enemy forces.

	Untitled Document
		In Gallipoli, Peter Weir's 1981 examination of nationalist sentiment and myth, the central protagonists, Archie Hamilton (Mark Lee) and Frank Dunne (Mel Gibson), are both members of the Western Australian Light Horse, a cavalry regiment and part of the 1st Australian Imperial Force that takes part in the conflict at Gallipoli in April 1915.
		Archie's death at the end of the narrative charging into the Turkish guns and Frank's ultimate survival conclude the film's often self-indulgent meditation on the nature of the national imaginary.
		In seeing Archie's death as tragedy, and Frank's survival in terms of a materialist nationalism and the guilt of the fall from an imperial innocence, Gallipoli underlines a number of national orthodoxies even as it seeks to hold others up for scrutiny.

	USATODAY.com - Real Troy beckons from Hisarlik, Turkey
		And if cinematic history repeats itself, Brad Pitt in Troy could do for Hisarlik what Mel Gibson did for Gallipoli in Peter Weir's 1981 Australian film of the same name.
		But, adds Brosnahan, the "moving setting and mood" of the hilltop ruins, which overlook the Dardanelles strait that connects the Aegean and Marmara seas, evoke both ancient and modern conflicts: The nearby Gallipoli peninsula was the site of a nine-month World War I campaign that killed or wounded nearly 500,000.
		The 5,000-year-old archaeological site at Hisarlik, 230 miles and about six hours southwest of Istanbul near the town of Canakkale, attracts far fewer tourists than such ancient cities as Ephesus or Pergamum, says guidebook author Tom Brosnahan (turkeytravelplanner.com).

	Mel Gibson @ Filmbug
		He was further established as an international star by Peter Weir's Gallipoli (1981), which brought him a second Australian Best Actor prize, and by Miller's MadMax 2: The Road Warrior (1981), which was released in the US by Warner Brothers.
		On the strength of his stage work Gibson came to the attention of physician-turned-film-director George Miller, who cast him in the title role in MadMax (1979), the low budget SF car chase thriller that became a surprise smash around the world.
		In addition, he received a Golden Globe Award as Best Director, a Special Achievement in Filmmaking Award from the National Board of Review, the National Association of Theater Owners/ShoWest award as Director of the Year, and was named Best Director by the Broadcast Film Critic's Association.

	Young Einstein
		"Young Einstein" fits snuggly into the Australian cinema of the 1980s, relating strongly to the stereotypical characters seen in "Crocodile Dundee" (Faiman, 1986), "Gallipoli" (Weir, 1981), "The Man from Snowy River" (Miller, 1982 — if only for the setting) and even television shows like "Neighbours" and "The Flying Doctors".
		"Young Einstein", being a relatively low-scale movie (in terms of budget) has a somewhat limited level of presence online, however, and possibly due to the production company (Warner Bros.) there does appear to be a relatively large amount of reviews and there is also the dedicated number of fan pages.
		"Young Einstein" has won a great deal of attention in Australia, where Serious has become the biggest homegrown star since Paul Hogan, and the saga of how he got this movie made - as the co-producer and co-writer as well as star - is intriguing enough to make a movie of its own.
