Gallipoli
The slogan advertised for Peter Weir's 'Gallipoli' was one of power and truth. From a legend we will always remember, comes a story you will never forget± conveys the dominancy of the film and the influential impact upon its audience. Furthermore, it magnifies the greatness of the ANZAC soldiers, who secured themselves in Australian history. It indicates truly, how important this incident was in our country and the massive emphasize on the fact that it will stick in our minds for ever would have had a dramatic impact on the popular Australian psycheThe section of the slogan that appeals directly to the viewers, you will never forget±, can be interpreted in two ways; to some, it will indicate the utter brilliance that this piece of genius will have, and to the remainder, the inerasable tragedy that will be imprinted in their minds forever more. It is assumed that the audience is able to appreciate and comprehend the way the film communicates its ideas, mostly through its astonishing cinematic techniques. These techniques are utilized in such a way that the film creates an extraordinary atmosphere which rips viewers from their seats into a totally breath-taking reality.
After producing the film cGallipoli', Peter Wier needed a slogan that would have a considerable impact in the advertising world. ± The impact of this on the popular Australian psyche would have been incredibly dramatic. The troops and the thousands who followed them onto the beaches of Gallipoli and later to the fields of France were really a cut above other soldiers. One way in which this was achieved was through the use of clothing. There is no mention of the tasks women underwent, nor any connection or relationships with them. More likely they were thinking about Turkish bullets and bayonets. So developed the Anzac Spirit that has continued on through the twentieth century, setting standards for others to follow and build on, spirit that is the envy of many military forces throughout the world. The two finest uses of music in the film where when the inexperienced soldiers where departing by boat to set out to Egypt for training and following the initial lines of assault which had failed miserably, leaving the remainder of the soldiers in despair. Maurice Jarre's cOxyge¨¾e', played during the opening credits and again later during a desert scene really adds a desired effect to the movie. n the movie allows the audience to be able to experience the events that take place, rather than just watching them. The masculinity in cGallipoli' is that of a typical Australian; bronzed body, medium build and very tough. Disheartening melodies combined with slow tempos, played in a minor key, was all that was necessary to illustrate the men's despair, as they sat, their comrades fallen around them. The way the Australians wear their military uniforms as opposed to the British and the exotic Egyptian garments all add up to form part of the bigger picture. They won the hearts of the world and they showed that, no matter how big the odds, they were still ready to go up against it. But heroes they became, symbols of a new nation.
