Review of Beneath Hill 60 (2010) by Andy H — 03 Nov 2010
As far as Aussie war drama goes, the great Gallipoli is the better recognized one, a gem from Peter Weir. It seems we simply never run out of stories borne of war, unlike Hollywood, who are currently obsessed with making movies about the war in and with the Middle East, it was a breath of fresh air to view an engrossing WW1 piece at Western Front which not only focuses on the soldiers but the miners too, the men from the1st Australian Tunnelling Company, painfully dug tunnels underneath enemy lines, to aid the advance of British troops and responsible for the collapse of hill 60 in Belgium.
The mighty blast consisting of 19 mines killed approximately ten thousand German soldiers and was heard as far away as the United Kingdom. This one here is a truly inspiring Australian victory. And last of all, this happens to be a true story which succeeds to keep you at the edge of your seats and pinch your heartstrings altogether.
