Breaker Morant (1980)
If you want to watch a great man's movie, you should see Breaker Morant. It is based on a true story of soldiers on trial for avenging the death of their friend during the Boer War.
Morant was a polished, well educated English migrant and soon made his mark as a horseman, fighter, thief, bush troubadour, poet, liar, loyal friend and courageous soldier. This rolling stone also was a flamboyant, hard-drinking male chauvinist and dare-devil. If there was a crowd to watch he would attempt the most hair-raising stunts and his talent for breaking horses soon earned him the name The Breaker. He was able to hold his own in any society and at other times brawl with the roughest of the rough in the bush pubs where he often drank to excess.You can read more of the history here (contains spoiler - read it after you see the movie).
