Intro Scene:
So, today’s movie scene, guys. I wonder if you know the movie or maybe you even know where this is from in history. It’s from a movie called Gallipoli, and Gallipoli was a movie made, I think, in the 80s starring Mel Gibson. I’ll have to look up the exact year. But Mel Gibson’s in this film. I’m sure you guys know him, because he’s famous and also infamous.
So, the movie’s about the Allied forces going into trench warfare with the Ottoman Empire, which would eventually become modern day Turkey. We’ll talk a bit more about that, about ANZACs, and ANZAC Day, in today’s Aussie fact, but that’s the intro scene there.
And the reason that we’re going to be talking about Gallipoli is because today’s expression originates from the First World War.
