War on Soldiers

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2014)

The movie portrays the way that war effected those soldiers involved by following along with the newbie to the group, Norman. Norman Ellis was a thrown into his new position within the tank after only having been at a desk job before hand. The movie follows him through his transition of getting used to the job after fighting against what he is expected to do to his eventually starting to warm up to what his new position entails. Along the way he watches the war that is happening all around him and changes his view on what part he wants to play in it all. He becomes enthralled in the war and eventually has no problem aiming right at people, and soon enjoys the job and killing as many of his enemies as he can. This whole progression of just one of these five amazing main characters shows the massive effects that the war had on those involved with directly fighting in it. Norman showed us how an innocent young kid can be made into a barbarian killing machine when trained to be that way, or as some could see it, when thats what you need to do to survive.
