One last point, you really can't make an over the top war movie about the Gulf War like you can with Vietnam or WWII because the intensity and horror of the fighting and dying are not even comparable. So therefore I would expect it to be about bonding and brotherhood etc. [/ QUOTE ] Sure, there wasn't the breadth of fighting and chaos during the Gulf war that happened during previous conflicts. But based on some things I've read there certainly was plenty of intense fighting and dying to fill a dozen movies. Swede

Bro I am super stoked to see this flick. Sam Mendes is da man, if only for American Beauty. Road to Perdition was kind of lame but let's forget about that. Jarhead looks awesome. Hope it doesn't let me down. [/ QUOTE ] i almost started a thread yesterday saying exacting this. I cant remember the last film i have been this excited about seeing.

[ QUOTE ] hoo-rah over-the-top patriotic propaganda [/ QUOTE ] I'm quite sure that it will be exactly the opposite. I really think you're gonna see an "America's foreign policy is A.F.U. and look how many kids are dying" type film. [/ QUOTE ] That's my prediction............ and hope. -ptmusic

[/ QUOTE ] I would just as soon the movie be about the people and events there and not try to make some big political statement either way. That's exactly why I rarely go see new war movies. They seem unable to make them w/o this kind of crap these days.
