Breaker Morant Movie Script in PDF Format Scripts.com Breaker Morant By Jonathan Hardy Page 1/45 1 Hurry up, man. Party, right wheel. This court of inquiry has completed its investigation. Do you wish to make any statement or give any evidence? Harry Harbord Morant. Lieutenant, Bushveldt Carbineers. I enlisted in South Australia. I was with the second contingent for nine months and was promoted to sergeant in that corps. I received my commission when l transferred to the Transvaal Constabulary. I returned to England on six months' leave and with the help of my friend, Captain Hunt, patched up a quarrel, an old quarrel with my family. I had intended to go back to England to live after the war. On my return to South Africa, I fought at Karee Siding and Kunstadt under Lord Roberts. I also fought with General French's cavalry brigade at Diamond Hill. After that, there were requests for volunteers to join the Bushveldt Carbineers in the Northern Transvaal. I joined on April 1, 1900. April Fools' Day. In the Carbineers, I was responsible for the capture of Boer commando leader, Kelly. I was recommended for a DSO. I take full and entire responsibility for the events at Fort Edward. I was, however, acting under orders. I was also deeply disturbed by what happened to Captain Hunt. No sentries. Either they're asleep or there's no one there. -No horses either. Page 2/45 -No. Ask him if he's sure if the information is correct. They have returned from the Cape Colony. They are very weak. Stay here with three men and this boy. Keep the horses quiet. Cover us. Is not good, Captain. Get back! Get back over here. Fall back! Mount up! Let's get out of here! Can't you send them back? For Captain Hunt. Watch it, Peter. -Probably just a stone bruise. -You think that's all it is? -Yes. If he limps again, I'll swap it. -Patrol's back! Get the Breaker. Get the Breaker! That's my horse! What happened? All right, you men, break. -They've Captain Hunt. -They were waiting for us. There were many men. Captain Hunt was shot. There was nothing we could do. Bullets whizzing by like blowflies. Lost five men. George, go set it up. We're going out on patrol. There was nothing we could do. They must have known we were coming. Known? Of course they bloody knew. You can't trust these blokes. How many sides you fighting on, mate? Just because you sign a bit of paper don't mean the war's over. Mr. Taylor, so much for your damn intelligence report. Eight Boers, exhausted. Page 3/45 That's what you said. Horses with fever, you said. What do you say now? I say avenge Captain Hunt. Prisoners and escort! Quick march! Come in. The court of inquiry has come to a recommendation. About time. It has been decided to proceed with a military court-martial here at Pietersburg. You will remain under close arrest. Major Charles Bolton to see Lord Kitchener and Colonel Hamilton. This way, sir. Charles, my dear chap. Good to see you again, sir. You come highly recommended, young man. Thank you, sir. I have a rather important prosecution I want you to handle. Yes, sir. Charles, you've heard of the Bushveldt Carbineers? Yes, a special force raised by Lord Kitchener to deal with the Boer guerrillas. Correct. Colonials, most of them. Australians. I understand they've been quite effective, sir. Very effective. We've just arrested three of them for shooting Boer prisoners and a German missionary. I've received, Bolton, a telegraph message from Whitehall. The German government has lodged a serious protest, -about the missionary in particular. -Yes, sir. The Kaiser, as you know, is our late Queen's grandson. The fact is that Whitehall feels the Germans Page 4/45 are looking for an excuse to enter the war. On the Boers' side, of course. We don't want to give them one. Needless to say, the Germans couldn't give a damn about the Boers. It's the diamonds and gold of South Africa they're interested in. They lack our altruism, sir. Quite. Here's the report of the preliminary inquiry. The evidence against the Australians is overwhelming. Who's handling the defense, sir? We expect no difficulties there. Selected one of their own chaps a major from the New South Wales Mounted. Still can't get used to it. Court-martial. On the ship coming over here, the blokes used to joke about who'd be the first to get a VC. Scratch yourself from that race, mate. My father said the war would make a man of me. Everybody's father says that, George. -It's really... -Ironic? Ironic. He believes in the British Empire, you know. We all do in my family. That's why I volunteered, to help keep the Empire together. I volunteered because there's a depression back there and I've got a wife and kid. You believe in the Empire, Harry? Do I? Don't reckon he does, mate. Major J.F. Thomas. I'm your defending officer. -George Witton. -Harry Morant. New South Wales Mounted. What sort of a lawyer are you? Page 5/45 They haven't locked me up yet. What sort of soldier are you? They're looking after you here? Looks a bit Spartan. Well, it's not exactly the Hotel Australia. More like a coffee palace. No grog. They gave you the report on the preliminary inquiry? -Yesterday. -Yesterday? -But the trial starts tomorrow. -We thought you were going to miss it. You don't know anything about us. Only what's in the preliminary report. And that, gentlemen, is not very flattering. As a matter of interest, how many courts-martial have you done? -None. -None? Jesus, they're playing with a double-headed penny, aren't they? Would you rather conduct your own defense? But you have handled a lot of court cases back home, sir? No. I was a country town solicitor. I handled land conveyancing and wills. Wills. Might come in handy. I'm going to need a lot of information. Do you think they're going to imprison us or cashier us, sir? -My father, if he found out... -Haven't they told you? There are several murder charges. The penalty is death. "Long as the waves shall roll "Long as fame guards us whole "And men who heart and soul thrill to true glory "Their deeds from age to age "Shall voice and verse engage "Swelling the splendid page of England's story" It's a matter of discipline and tradition. Page 6/45 Do you think this could've happened with any contingent besides the Australians? But Morant's not an Australian. You're splitting hairs. He's been out there 15 years, learned all their bad habits. I never thought you colonials got lost, Major. I've been at the prison, sir. Major Thomas, Major Bolton. Captain Nicholson. Lieutenants Reed and Baxter. Miss... How do you do? I understand your Mr. Morant is something of a poet, Major. That's right. He wrote for a paper called The Bulletin in Sydney. A Tennyson of the Transvaal. The Byron of the Bushveldt Carbineers. Why is it he's referred to as Breaker Morant? Ladies' man, perhaps? A breaker of hearts. No, he was a horse breaker. I understand, the best in Australia. Quite a Renaissance figure. I daresay, if everything goes well, he could come and recite for us one night. In the meantime, this refined-looking fellow is an ex-opponent of ours, who's wisely signed the non-combatant pledge. They say he has a fine voice. Only speaks Dutch, though. So, Mr. Baxter and ladies, you'll have to tell us what it's all about. A few things to clear up. How many men at Fort Edward? About 50. Sometimes more, sometimes less. -And most were Australians? -We told you all this last night. -About 45 of them were. -Gentlemen. The intelligence officer, Captain... Page 7/45 -Taylor? -Taylor, yes. -What did he have to do with this? -Nothing. Then who do you think filed the report that led to your arrest? Don't know, but it wasn't Taylor. He was a good bloke. Bring in the accused. This court-martial is convened by order of... I'd like to ask for an adjournment, sir. -Adjournment? We've only just arrived. -Yes, sir. I only just arrived in Pietersburg yesterday. It doesn't give me much time to prepare a defense. The prosecution's had six weeks. There are witnesses who have traveled over 60 miles for this hearing. Do you expect us to keep them around at taxpayers' expense? -Yes, sir. l need time... -Quite out of the question, Major... Thomas. This court-martial is convened by order... Yes, Major Thomas. This court-martial is unconstitutional, sir. The three defendants are Australian subjects, and as the country is now an independent commonwealth, they can only be tried by the Australian Army. The defendants, Major, were serving in the Bushveldt Carbineers, a unit under British command. This court-martial is convened by order of Horatio Herbert, Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, GCB, GCMG, RE, Commander in Chief of British and Colonial Forces in South Africa. The charges are as follows: Defendants Morant, Handcock, and Witton Page 8/45 are charged with the murder of a Boer prisoner named Visser. They are also charged with the murders of six other Boer prisoners, names unknown.

  • Bruce Beresford's Breaker Morant Re-Viewed
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 30, núm. 1 (2020) · ISSN: 2014-668X The Boers and the Breaker: Bruce Beresford’s Breaker Morant Re-Viewed ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This essay is a re-viewing of Breaker Morant in the contexts of New Australian Cinema, the Boer War, Australian Federation, the genre of the military courtroom drama, and the directing career of Bruce Beresford. The author argues that the film is no simple platitudinous melodrama about military injustice—as it is still widely regarded by many—but instead a sterling dramatization of one of the most controversial episodes in Australian colonial history. The author argues, further, that Breaker Morant is also a sterling instance of “telescoping,” in which the film’s action, set in the past, is intended as a comment upon the world of the present—the present in this case being that of a twentieth-century guerrilla war known as the Vietnam “conflict.” Keywords: Breaker Morant; Bruce Beresford; New Australian Cinema; Boer War; Australian Federation; military courtroom drama. Resumen Este ensayo es una revisión del film Consejo de guerra (Breaker Morant, 1980) desde perspectivas como la del Nuevo Cine Australiano, la guerra de los boers, la Federación Australiana, el género del drama en una corte marcial y la trayectoria del realizador Bruce Beresford. El autor argumenta que la película no es un simple melodrama sobre la injusticia militar, como todavía es ampliamente considerado por muchos, sino una dramatización excelente de uno de los episodios más controvertidos en la historia colonial australiana. El director afirma, además, que Breaker Morant es también una excelente instancia de "telescopio", en el que la acción de la película, ambientada en el pasado, pretende ser una referencia al mundo del presente, en este caso es el de una guerra de guerrillas del siglo XX conocida como el "conflicto" de Vietnam.

Cast: Edward Woodward, Jack Thompson, John Waters, Bryan Brown. Summary: War film set in South Africa in 1898. Trying to counter the guerrilla tactics of the Boers, three Australian enlisted men commit war crimes and are tried and convicted by their English commanders in a politically expedient court martial. Though based on a true story, the film was identified as a ‘Vietnam’ film in the Richard Maxwell article (below) for its obvious parallels with the more recent guerrilla conflict.
