Simply Anti-War

However, the film seems to steer clear of the whole question of South Africa and the Boer war; and ultimately seems to say that regardless of where the war was and why it was fought, the Aussies shouldn't have been in it.

Perhaps however, one should not look too closely at this, for the film has so many other strong points that it is unfair to make more of this problem than is really warranted. It is a good, strong film, with very little of that rather embarrassing stuff that makes you think "this is very good - for Australia". Breaker Morant is good for anywhere, and is recommended.
