so i saw 'er last night. and it was definitely not what expected, but i guess that is what i expected since it's directed by sam mendes. anyway, it's a really interesting watch, and definitely not your typical war flick by any means. it really gives you the feeling of being part of he marines, but i think i'll have to see it again, to really get it. all in all, for a first time view, i really enjoyed it. go see it.

This is the lamest thread i have ever heard, i should delete this shit.

Your both making yourselves look like morons.

Ho ha, Bo ya, Ho ra, who gives a fuck

It's the meaning that counts, it probably sounds different cause someone from the South, and someone from like Boston have different accects or some shit.

GIVE IT UP.

ok. i liked it, but honestly since no one died really, it wasnt what i expected. no big fight scene. just great visuals. it just seemed important but not stimulating. its easy to think about it, but as far as im concerned, much easier to be slightly dissapointed with it. there wasnt any fight scene. no crazy guy charging and getting mowed down. there was one with some tank or artilley fire, but the actually dispensing of bullets from magazines didnt occur.

but it was based on a book, so what can you do.

that's what was cool about it. it didn't focus on the battle side of war. hell, the main character never even fired a shot. i was happy that it wasn't filled with battles.

yeah it was a cool movie overall. i mean id watch it over like garden state, but probablly not over black hawk down. to me i saw more similarity between jarhead and garden state than black hawk down. looking for messages and exploring more as opposed to action. i still feel a little...vacant? unfilled? i dont know a good word to fit it.

wrong
hey, I thought you were level headed and would admit it you were wrong. Come on man, those guys are military buffs, and several of them are or were ex marines.

Actually

I would like to thank you on being the voice off ALL MARINES in the United States Of America, you really do put in a good voice for them. And im sure they would enjoy having an argonat person like yourself argue over this.

I think that many marines and other america military officers would agree that it is the pride and unity that is what is signaificant in this situation. And that it doesn;t matter directly how you would express it, but as long as you do, and as long as you believe in those values. That to me is what makes a marine and marine. Someone who is proud to serve there country, and proud of there fellow soliders. Who cares if it not pronuced exactly the same, the meaning is the same, and if you were to scream it at the top of your lungs, im sure no matter how you said it any marine would recgonize it's signficance and importance.

Quit calling people names, and maybe try to understand the overall significance of what you are talking about. There's no point in fighting the same battle against each other, any marine would know that.

well, back to talking about the movie. I thought it was a good movie, but it seemed like it was centered too strongly on how jake gyllenhaal missed his girlfriend. To be honest id rather see them fight some iraq's.

Hooah = Army
Hooyah = Navy
Ooorah = Marines

The movie was awesome. I liked it a lot, the part with the porno and the wife made me soo fucking angry, I can imagine what that must feel like. But it was honestly a good flick. DEfinitely everyone in the theatre was totally into it, complete silence. it was a good film, very scary and very real. loved how chedda from 8 mile had a big role although i wanted to fuckin kill him by the end. jamie foxx had a nice part and jake killed it. good film

Beg to differ. It was one guy who clearly we all know exists. That stereotypical point and shoot ready to die movie mindfucked soldier who thinks every arab is a terrorist. yea a few soldiers were fucked up but it didnt say anything poor about the marines at all..

that guy that dug up the dead body was the only one that was fucked up out of them all really. i didn't think it made them look bad at all.

if anything, it just made war look bad, and the shit that people go through while they're in service.

finally a movie that concentrated on the mental aspects a person must endure during war rather then battle after battle after battle.

it wasnt what i was expecting at all, but it was awesome.

i loved that he never got his kill in the movie. makes it all seem so pointless. he spends hours learning his rifle, assembling, disassembling, targeting, and for what?

i think this movie went alot further then just trying to show the grusomeness of war and actually hit on the sometimes meaninglessness of it

i was pointing out that jarhead was based solely on that topic.

well other movies might have hinted or lightly touched upon it.

every other movie used the fighting to keep you interested. jarhead focused only on the mental side, and still delivered a solid movie in my opinion.

oh, and has anyone ever read the book? i feel like a complete douche talking about this without having read to the book to compare to.
