Fixxxer Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 well it is a war movie. imagine a rated g war movie with everyone just dancing and not shooting one bullet.
Emotion Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Jarhead was a good movie! I downloaded it off the net and it was good!
OldFashionedGirl Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I heard that it had a lot of nudity, edit-able words, and things against the virtue of purity in it.

Socrates Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I heard the book was basically an ex-Marine whining about the Corps.

[right][snapback]774470[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Exactly...and I read the script and it sucked, just like the book....not much real action and basically the guy who wrote it was a whiner who complained through the whole thing...no big deal about being anti-war, but anti-U.S.? And they make a film about it at this time? It's a perfect liberal film that they release during war time to make everybody question the government...very Michael Moore-esque... I sent them my script and they blew it off...so I'm boycotting this film...
Sojourner Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 [quote name='inDEED' date='Oct 31 2005, 10:33 AM']I'm DEFINITELY gonna catch this one... [right][snapback]774795[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yep. I've written my brother, who's a Marine, to see what his thoughts are on it, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

I don't know if it is any good, but I would like to see it.

When I saw the "R" rating, I decided to go read some movie reviews online to see the reasoning for the rating. At first, I assumed that it would be rated "R" because of war content, but I soon found differently. After reading several reviews, I found that there really is not much battle content in the movie at all. But, I did discover that a large portion of the "R" rating is because of sexual content; evidently there are many scenes involving masturbation and one scene with graphic sexual content. After I read that, I decided against seeing the movie. This is unfortunate, because I would have liked to have seen the movie. Edited November 5, 2005 by God's Errand Girl

The trailer was dope though.
