i was not overwhelmed by gunfire. i had time to know a little about the people. that made this most clever a film to me. it was focused on a small group and fewer battles, true of many films i suppose but i had much more feeling for what was going on via the visuals (thanks mr. kubrick) and the characters. especially like adam baldwin as animal mother, crazy killer with courage and comradeship. this to me is one of the most revealing and thought provoking pieces created about war apart from 'all quiet on the western front' (the novel)and for me that's really saying something. the journalistic approach works and although my friend said in the other post he felt the movie to be split in 2 i did not. the mickey mouse theme is most telling
