I laughed for the better part of the basic training sequence. I cheered at the end. (Yes, I was that sick but I was 17 then.)<BR/><BR/>Humans are not by their nature killers. It takes a lot of training to get a person to kill someone they have never met.<BR/><BR/>This movie has a lot of quotes that I love. I have .wav files for a lot of them. <BR/><BR/>I need to see the movie again. It makes you wonder what movies are going to come out of this quagmire.<BR/>~BPPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680390.post-21812549440165594142007-02-13T00:06:00.000-06:002007-02-13T00:06:00.000-06:00Best Vietnam War movie, in my humble opinion.Best Vietnam War movie, in my humble opinion.James Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473394820537351385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680390.post-22169898144037308232007-02-12T21:52:00.000-06:002007-02-12T21:52:00.000-06:00i just saw Brazil for the first time two weeks ago...i just saw Brazil for the first time two weeks ago. A friend of mine let me borrow it. I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd call it "timeless." I think I need to watch it, again, though. There is a nice three disk set on Criterion. <BR/><BR/>I used to think Full Metal Jacket was "cool" when I was younger, but one day I watched it and was, pardon the pun, totally blown away. Full Metal is one of those movies that everytime you watch it, you learn something else. It really is an amazing film. <BR/><BR/>Full Metal is alot like Apocalypse Now for me. I have to steel myself for the experience. Both movies just stay with me, I'm not sure why, though, I was never in the military. <BR/><BR/>Great, now I gotta go watch them, both, again. Sheesh...<BR/><BR/>Oh, btw, I know its like two weeks late, but yer papers are in the mail. I sent them today.loofrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536726261625483977noreply@blogger.com
