    • Trivia
      The horse that Russell Crowe rides in the scenes shot in Australia is actually his own horse Honey.
    • Goofs
      The Turks storm the (empty) ANZAC trenches on the 20th December 1915. The movie portrays this as a sunny day with hot weather. In reality snow and frost appeared as far back as November with as many as 16,000 cases of frostbite and exposure reported for November alone.
    • Quotes

      Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: Yeah, We both know it, but why change everything for one father who can't stay put?

      Major Hasan: Because he is the only father who came looking.

    • Crazy credits
      The final credit is a congratulatory well done to the South Sydney Rabbitohs Rugby League Football Club winning the NRL Premiership in 2014. Russell Crowe supports, and owns 37.5% of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, which is most likely the reason why the credit was included.

    An absolute masterpiece
    Russell Crowe has absolutely outdone himself with this film; it had me entranced from the start. Beautifully shot, amazing casting and the time and effort put into the making of this film really shone through. I feel the costumers deserve an Oscar nomination for this one - everything was spot on which for a period drama is almost impossible:) Flawless casting and great character development leads the viewer through the story; this film will bring out emotions and provoke thought. I loved the perspective of the film; it is an exceptional sensitive retelling of an historical story from both perspectives and I think this is one of the absolute highlights of this film.

    See it - you won't be disappointed!Take the tissues though...
