Danger Close The Battle of Long Tan

This afternoon I went to the South Bank Cinema where I saw the Australian movie Danger Close The Battle Of Long Tan. It's August 18th 1966 in Long Tan Vietnam Major harry Smith(Travis Trimmel)leads an dispersed team of Australian and New Zealand soldiers mostly inexperienced and are fighting for their lives against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers in the pouring rain as well as the mud and shattered trees each man start to gain strength to overcome the uncertain future and to get through with courage, decency and honour and it's gets interesting. It's Sad, Amazing, Brilliant and Superb with Brilliant and Superb acting by Travis Trimmel, Luke Bracey, Richard Roxburgh, Daniel Webber, Steve Peacocke, Emmy Dougal who played legendary Australian singer Little Pattie and Geoffrey Winter playing another legendary Australian singer Col Joye. It's directed by Kriv Stenders, producers were Martin Walsh, John and Michael Schwarz, Silvio Salom and Tony H Noun and the screenwriters were Stuart Beattie, Jack Brislee, James Nicholas, Paul Sullivan and Karel Segers. It's an Amazing story as well as an courageous story and to understand for what these soldiers had to go through and those 18 Australian soldiers and at least 250 Vietnamese lost their lives. It's an must for everyone and I give it 5 stars as it's in the cinemas now so do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will be moved, touched and amazed.
