    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.

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.

    Press Release

    4.1.2016 PRESS RELEASE THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART ANNOUNCE THE WORLD PREMIERE OF FEATURE FILM THE SILENT EYE FEATURING CECIL TAYLOR & MIN TANAKA & DIRECTED BY ACCLAIMED AUSTRALIAN FILMMAKER AND ARTIST AMIEL COURTIN-WILSON. http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/OpenPlanCecilTaylor THE SILENT EYE is the World Premiere of a new feature length performance film by Amiel Courtin-Wilson featuring Min Tanaka and Cecil Taylor. Shot in Cecil Taylor’s home over three days in January 2016, the film is a highly intimate, impressionistic portrait of the unspoken rapport between two masters of their form. Shot by Sundance award winning cinematographer Germain McMicking and featuring sublime slow motion cinematography of Cecil and Min at work together, the film plays out like a timeless, elegant conversation between the two men- at once meditative and highly moving. The Robert D. Bielecki Foundation have just announced their generous support of the completion of the film and Robert had this to say about the project. “Filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson's THE SILENT EYE is a marvel of time expanded and contracted. He captures a journey between old friends filled with prescient reminiscence - a meditation in sound and movement between two masters catching up, rewinding, and spinning forward the way ocean currents undulate when kissed by the wind.” Amiel is also thrilled to be working with the Robert D. Bielecki Foundation. “It is a humbling and deeply inspiring experience to be supported to create such a singular and specific film.” Acclaimed director Amiel Courtin-Wilson's feature films have screened and won awards at Venice Film Festival (HAIL, 2011 RUIN, 2013) Cannes (CICADA, 2009) and Sundance (CHASING BUDDHA, 2000).

Hansen Abstract Popular fi lm depictions of varied cultures, ranging from the Chinese, Africans, and Native Americans have repeatedly provided a variant perception of the culture. In works of fi ction, this fl aw cannot only provide us with entertainment, but with insights and motives in the ideological, social, or economic agendas of the authors and/or directors as well as those of the critics. Mel Gibson’s Maya epic Apocalypto has provided an interesting case study depicting indigenous warfare, environmental degradation, and ritual violence, characteristics that have been derived from multidisciplinary research, ethnohistoric studies, and other historical and archaeological investigations. The fi lm received extraordinary attention from the public, both as positive feedback and negative criticism from a wide range of observ- ers. Thus, the elements of truth, public perception, relativism, revisionism, and emic/etic perspectives coalesced into a case where truth, fi ction, and the virtues and vices of the authors and director of the fi lm as well as those of critics were exposed.
