Welcome to the suck!
..Yes I watched Jarhead- a very intense war drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx. It was one of the most awaited movies of the year, based on the life of Anthony Swofford, a former marine and the author of a best selling book by the same title. The movie comes from the creator of American Beauty, Sam Mendes, so you know what to expect! Jarhead is a slang for U.S marine enlistees, they are called 'Jar'-'Heads' because their heads resemble Jars after they get their military haircut.
-Spoiler Warning-
The story follows Anthony Swofford's journey as part of a specially trained sniper unit of the marines after the troops are deployed in Saudi during the Gulf war back in the early 90's. Jarhead is a very unique war movie, because it shows the side of a war hero that many people dont know of, it takes us thro the emotional intensity of a soilder who is obsessively trained and given no opportunity to use the training.The movie covers the sadistic minds of soilders deployed 1000's of miles away from their home,where they have to continue their rigorous regimes in soaring temperatures, their loved ones turn unfaithful during the hiatus and they never get to see the enemies they were supposed to kill and throughout their deployement none of these soilders fire a single bullet, All these trying situations nearly drive these already sadist soilders insane. The movie concludes with Swofford saying that, whether he holds it or not, his rifle will always be a part of his body.
