Awesome movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2006)

This has to be the most accurate depiction of an experience in the marines as you could find in a Hollywood movie. You have the drill instructor, whose job is to strip the recruits of their dignity to create them anew as soldiers. Sure, some will break under stress, but most will go on. Then there's the shockingly accurate depiction of combat.
All throughout, you see the reasons for the soldiers joining in the first place, and how they are moulded mentally into killing machines.
There is humour amongst the drama. It's all that I've stated above, as far as being a psychological movie. It's ALL about psychology.
This is a definite must-see for anyone interested in war, and an overall excellent movie.
