Review of Breaker Morant (1980) by Fuzz M — 21 May 2006
What a fantastic film to study for school... hehehe- those poor suckers this year that are studying some piece of a crummy movie. this was sooo good to write on, and, after a while I began to see some really funny bits in it.
...... like when denny is saluting to everyone when they enter the court - there's nothing like the stiff-arm salute, unchanging everytime he does it. what about the part when handcock doesn't fit in his coffin after he ironically says beforehand 'they could have the decency to measure us'.
and there's the completely unnoticeable signal between the boer woman and the boer singer at dinner - how could we miss that?? then, of course, there are all the other classic quotations: 'Vot is your nom?', 'They lack our alturism sir.
.. Quite', 'something, something... awaiting crucifixion', something about 'stinking refugee camps'.............. and the best one 'they mutilated him. they mutilated him with knives while he was still alive'.
oh, and if I ever forget the song 'soldiers of the queen' - I dunno if that's a good or bad thing. well, here we go, it's in my head again...
