Starring Mel Gibson and Mark Lee, Gallipoli (dir. Peter Weir 1981) is an Australian war drama. Narrated in the historical background of the World War I, the film provides a faithful portrayal of life and culture in Australia in the 1910s by reflecting on mateship, larrikinism, the loss of innocence in war and the bonding between the Australian soldiers and the nation (later called the ANZAC spirit). Dr Dhamu Pongiyannan presents his analysis on this magnificent coming-of-age Australian film for SBS Tamil listeners.
