Swofford emerges from a war that has consisted of a long, maddening wait followed by a hard march through the surreal aftermath of battles already won by jets dropping smart bombs, toward a horizon blackened by Saddam's burning oil wells. As in "The Last Picture Show," a young man discovers what a cruel, destructive business life can be. "Jarhead" is not a tragedy but a tragic coming-of-age story. A critic once observed that audiences emerge from a comedy talking animatedly with one another, but after a tragedy they come forth subdued and solitary, each absorbed by his or her own thoughts. "Every war is the same." Looking back on his experience, he sees that the first Gulf War and the Marine Corps have become ineradicable parts of who he is: "Every jar-head is me." The screen shimmers and shifts into a scene of a desert patrol dwarfed by distance and hazed by heat waves. "Every war is different," says Anthony Swofford as the movie "Jarhead" comes to a close. Now, I'm going to grab a beer from the fridge, sit down and watch a movie, to have something to do. If all you can do is go around in life and get offended, then I am truly sorry for you. No wonder people's stress levels are high. To finish up, this movie will make you feel something. You won't change anyone's mind, just tick them off. 10: Find a way to see Jarhead, reserve your judgments until afterward, and if you're a jerk, then give all the snotty, ignorant, or mean opinions you want. Don't just wait for your next chance to speak. 9: Don't hate on anyone trying to do their job, if you see someone in uniform, don't think negatively or positively, unless you know the person.
#Jarhead the movie part 1 full
Full Metal Jacket is a good movie for taking the approach that it did. With extreme's of both "anti's" and "pro's" you take it or leave it. 8: To me, Jarhead felt like the Full Metal Jacket of this generation. No matter how "Hollywoodized" a movie can get, it's basic concepts and ideas are still generally intact. They've been putting a spin on things for a while now, and they like to beat a lot of dead horses. 6: Media and movies have not helped our perception of war and those involved. Even quote/ unquote "desk jockey's" and those that aren't in the actual combat but provide support roles, are still trained to fight.
And once you are one, it is hard to switch it off once a person goes back to normal life. 5: The military prepares people to become soldiers, just like a coach prepares people to become athletes. It shows the happy carefree side of war, and also the darker undertones, and not-so-under-toned evils of war. It will make those that like to argue and takes sides, have a wonderful time with it. A person can pick out a lot of evidence supporting the military, and at times make it look like a recruiting tool, or it can show anti war, anti-Bush, anti everything. And just about any person can pick out a lot of evidence to support why they liked it and why they did not. Black Hawk Down might be closer to what you're looking for, although finding an action movie about Desert Storm is kind of hard. If you want it to be, find another movie. Easily a contender for this year's cinematography award. 1: Cinematography is downright beautiful in this movie. I'm here to give a layman's take on the movie and not be concerned with politics or agendas.
#Jarhead the movie part 1 professional
I'm not even here to give you a professional review of this movie, or sound educated and witty. I'm not writing this to convince you of my opinion. I am not a professional writer, I am not a director, I am not important.
