The effects, crap. The entire layout of the movie - chaos. The audience needs to be more exposed to the characters, not guessing which one is which. If we had the opportunity to become more attached, the ideas Grierson had would have been more effective. It's just that for most of the movie, I could hardly see due to the camera moving too fast and I was at total loss as to who the next Aussie getting slaughtered was. But... keep in mind that it is an Aussie film, and try enjoy the real meaning of this amazing story - despite the crap film, I am still [roud to be Australian. Those men are an inspiration to all :) Oh, hi nick. Well, considering it is an Aussie movie, I wasn’t expecting anything too flash. The effects, crap. The entire layout of the movie – chaos.

Before this of course, they had experience fighting in China. The Australian Infrantry Forces (regular enlisted army) were on their way back form Egypt, held up in Colombo, Ceylon, while Churchill tried to talk the Australian Prime Minister into sending them to Malaysia. The only soldiers "on hand" to send to PHG, were drafted CMF (Citizens military Forces) soldiers who were only allowed to fight on Australia Territory, basically a home guard, 'dads army' force. These soldiers were so poorly trained, that some had never fired a rifle before being sent to PNG. They were so poorly equiped, that their had to dye thier light brown uniforms a greenish color by boilinging them with green leaves to afford some camoflage effect. I hope this short history lesson helps. History lesson:
