zander_0633 · March 13th, 2006

well, Any idea where can I go download the trailer?

Marinerhodes · March 14th, 2006

I watched about half of it. It was a waste of my time. I am not sure how things were in 1989 but I know that most if not all of the "frivolous" behavior would now not be tolerated.

Santa hats? Give me a break. This movie is one of the reasons I do not watch movies where the military is concerned. All it does is irritate me to no end.

zander_0633 · March 14th, 2006

hah! So you wish that they create a movie which is Military Accurate?

As near as I can tell having finally watched this steaming pile of celluloid this movie is the 21st century homage to Stanley Kubrik's Full Metal Jacket, hell even half the DI's lines are swiped from the original film.

Hollow-wood does not make films to reflect reality. They make films to make money and to do that you must entertain. Reality is not entertaining for most people hence the crap you see on the screen purporting to be reality.

Someone stop me when I get to a "military" film that reflects reality...
Green Berets
Full Metal Jacket
Hunt For Red October
Top Gun
Rambo (any of them)
POW
Boys in Company C
Windtalkers
Pearl Harbour
The Longest Day
Dirty Dozen
Kelly's Heroes
Anzio
The Guns of Navarone
Gallipoli
Adanngaman
Apocalypse Now
Band of Outsiders
Deer Hunter
Devil's Brigade
Enema at the Gates
Gettysburg
Hart's War
Clear and Present Danger
The Sum of All Fears
Kandahar
Men of Honor
Men of War
Red Scorpion

The Last Samurai
Tears of the Sun
The Killing Fields
Tora Tora Tora
South Pacific
Three Kings
U-571
K-19
Patton
Hamburger Hill
The Golden Triangle
Thin Red Line
ad nauseum...

Great entertainment- sure, true to life abso

inglutely not. What is more disturbing to me than this film is the fact some of you actually had the thought it might possibly could be real.

I think it was supposed to be based on the book, which was based on the guy's experience in the Marine Corps. I have talked to at least 20 Marines that said it was a total waste of their time to even pop it in the dvd player, let alone sit through it to the end.

I don't think it irritated me so much about the accuracy, maybe more the portrayal of the Marine Corps in general. I have sat through and enjoyed several of the movies you listed there bulldogg, but this was one I could not stand to see again.
