The Water Diviner

Must Go

Before I write a review I look through the ones already posted. I am always shocked at the haters! Let me just explain something to you – this is entertainment not HISTORY. You will never check into a hotel with a clerk as beautiful as Olga Karylenko (Ayshe). Russell Crowe has given us a wonderful film. It is based on a line from the officer of graves diary at the battlefield at Gallipoli, “An Australian father came looking for his son’s body.” After that, it is all fiction. You will not be disappointed that you spent your money on this movie.

“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.” Ataturk, 1934
