| I planned to see KOKODA on Anzac Day and was amazed that it wasn't playing at the 2 cinemas nearest me (Great support for local product). I ended up seeing it today (27 April) and am still processing it. However, off the bat I'd say it was very good, but probably less than I expected. Although I generally try to avoid the "hype" surrounding films like this, it was hard to avoid this film's publicity considering the subject matter and the passion it stirs in a country that has now buried all of its World War One heroes. Comparisons to Peter Weir's 'Gallipoli' were probably unfair given that 'Kokoda' is Director Alister Griersons feature debut. You have to wonder how much better it would have been if it was Griersons third feature? Given that though, you have to take your hat off to him and his team for making a great film out of a low budget. The other thing that will probably be a sticking point with some people, and I dare say some veterans of Kokoda, is that the film is less of a definitive film about Kokoda, but a story about a section of soldiers, who happen to be a small part of a much larger picture. This isn't necessarily a criticism, just an observation. I have also heard some veterans express that the swearing was a bit "modern". So for those history buffs that will see it because it is another morsel of information on the subject; enjoy and don't judge too harshly. For those who have heard the name Kokoda, and wonder what it means to the 'ragged bloody heroes' who fought there, see it and judge for yourself. Then read about it. This is just one of many, many stories from the TRACK (Not the 'trail' - which is an American term, not used by the Aussies) For some real stories go to the Australian's At War Film Archive (www.australiansatwarfilmarchive.gov.au) and read some actual transcripts from the soldiers themselves. |
