The section of the slogan that appeals directly to the viewers, °you will never forget±, can be interpreted in two ways; to some, it will indicate the utter brilliance that this piece of genius will have, and to the remainder, the inerasable tragedy that will be imprinted in their minds forever more. It is assumed that the audience is able to appreciate and comprehend the way the film communicates its ideas, mostly through its astonishing cinematic techniques. These techniques are utilized in such a way that the film creates an extraordinary atmosphere which rips viewers from their seats into a totally breath-taking reality.

They lost a lot of lives, but they won something that Australia will never ever forget. They won the hearts of the world and they showed that, no matter how big the odds, they were still ready to go up against it. At a time when a freshly minted country called Australia was groping for an international identity, 50,000 of its youngest, fittest and most adventurous men volunteered to go to a far-off war at a place called Gallipoli. It was April 1915, they were outnumbered and outgunned by Turkish opponents who were dug in on cliff tops. But somehow for nine long months the Australians held blood-soaked ground before the British finally ordered an evacuation. Out of defeat, a legend was born. The motive that sustained them lay in the mettle of the men themselves. To be the sort of men who didn¯t give way when his mates were trusting in his firmness.

"I have never seen anything like these wounded Australians in war before. They were happy because they had been tried for the first time and had not been found wanting.± --- Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, British Press.

The image of the ANZACs after Gallipoli was one of tall, resourceful, brave mates who were scornful of authority and had a larrikin sense of humour. Australian's sons acquitted themselves like heroes and with heroism unsurpassed in the history of the world. The legend of superhuman bravery lives on in Australian society.

Through the use of all these astounding cinematic techniques the film successfully draws the audience into a distinctive world and leaves an ineradicable stain in their souls that they °will never forget±

Another significant objective of the movie was to show how strong mate-ship is between Australians and how well companions bond. The idea that Frank and Archie were both determined runners, friendly guys and both ended up joining the war together built a strong foundation to work with. After they miss their train and end up with a long walk half way across the country, Frank and Archie have nothing to perform except speak and bond for hours upon end. Following a long period of not seeing each other, Archie and Frank unexpectedly find themselves on opposing teams in a cplay¯ war. They pay no attention to their surroundings or orders and bolt towards each other and embrace in a moment of joy. As the two become closer and closer, their relationship extends and envelops them in a whole new world. You don¯t get to view what Frank would have had to face after his comrades were mowed down like blades of grass as the movie ends at a crucial moment.

The advertising slogan reminds the viewer that Peter Weir¯s ¯Gallipoli¯ is dealing with a clegend¯, this legend holds a very special place in Australian society as it is the most memorable aspect of our war history. As the ANZACS crouched in their ships on an April morning in 1915, it's doubtful many of them were worried about creating a legend. More likely they were thinking about Turkish bullets and bayonets. But heroes they became, symbols of a new nation. Poet John Masefield said they "looked and walked like kings", while others talked of their mettle, mate-ship and remarkable bravery. The troops and the thousands who followed them onto the beaches of Gallipoli and later to the fields of France were really a cut above other soldiers.
