In style, theme, acting and presentation, Breaker Morant is a simplistically anti-British, pro-Australian film. Do you agree?

Breaker Morant is a film set in the 1900’s during the Boer war where the British were in battle with farmers is Africa. As part of the alliance, the Australians were involved in the war almost automatically because of the British. As the film unfolds, it’s revealed that the British Army were involved in a court case with the Australians for disobedience during the war and the killing of the Boer prisoners and the murder of a German missionary who witnessed the murder of the six Boers. This film portrays the fact that it’s an anti- Australian film and tends to favour the British. From the onset of this film, it’s evident that there is tension between the Australians and the British. Reasons for this being an anti-Australian film is that they were only allowed 1 day to prepare for this case, an inexperienced defence lawyer was given to the Australian men, and the verdict was already made prior to the case, leaving the Australians only to be convicted of the accused charges.
