Jarhead...

What are your thoughts on this movie? I love it -- think it's one of the great war movies, and the defining WM of my generation...

I just watched the scene where the old marine gets on the bus...his acting is unreal -- if it's acting...

Hoorah

 

Loved it. Course, the fact Jake's half-naked in most of it doesn't hurt.

But I really liked Saarsgaard in it.

 

You mean Fenian's mortal enemy?

 

Shit man...talk about movies that make you cry...

Yeah, Saarsgaard is amazing. He's one of my favorite actors: Garden State, Shattered Glass, Jarhead...damn

 

Good Will Hunting... Pirates of the Caribbean

 

wait, what?

Who was Saarsgaard in GWH?

 

Wrong guy with a weird 'S' name. Stellan Skarsgard was in GWH.

 

Read the book. It's a decent movie, but a better book.

 

Only thing good about the movie is the soundtrack. Swofford is nothing but a malcontent and a disgrace to the Marines.

You want to read about a real marine read Marine Corp Sniper - the story of Carlos Hathcock.
