jarheads

I found it to be a very deep emotional movie. Although funny it was underlyingly sad and truthfull. It is about the gulf war and how the soldires were before and after they joined the marines and how all their lives change and how they affect each other and so on. It realy isnt suitable for young children.

I finally rented Jarhead and watched it today. Loved the movie, will probably wind up buying a copy of it. I could totally relate to the emotions and to just about every aspect in the movie. The one scene that stood out to me was when they came home and while during their parade, a former Marine Vietnam vet jumped on the bus, welcomed them home and asked if he could ride with them - something he never got when he rotated back across the Pond to the US. I was moved with that. Hard to explain but that was a nice touch.

All in all, a good movie about the Marines, regardless of a war or not. Although there is around 20 yrs between the time frame represented in the movie and when I was a marine in the 70s, some of things never change and that was good to see.
