About this movie

Russell Crowe's directorial debut, "The Water Diviner," is an epic and inspiring tale of one man's life-changing journey of discovery. Crowe plays Australian farmer Joshua Connor, who, in 1919, goes in search of his three missing sons, last known to have fought against the Turks in the bloody Battle of Gallipoli. Arriving in Istanbul, he is thrust into a vastly different world, where he encounters others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), a strikingly beautiful but guarded hotelier raising a child alone; her young, spirited son, Orhan (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdoğan), a Turkish officer who fought against Connor's boys and who may be this father's only hope. With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his path, Connor must travel across the battle-scarred Turkish landscape to find the truth…and his own peace.

But , and I see this all too often , in terms strictly pertaining to Crowe's direction and its debut. The fact is that its just a wee bit overreaching , which inevitably translates to self aggrandizing and possibly even narrcissitic when viewed objectively. Ya I realize that is a subjective statement but its always appreciated when a director walks before they run ESPECIALLY when directing oneself. With more economy and less dramatic approach there can be more content emparted to the viewer and not..SRRY

Russell can act but he can't carry this one (sorry Russell). If you love cliche romance stuff that never contributes to the story then this one is for you.
