Crude, Rude and Real

Rating: 6/10 (20 November 2005)

How do men behave when completely isolated from women. The U.S. Marine Corps is one of those places which displays this perfectly. I saw a mother who had brought her 10 year old son to this movie. I wonder what his thoughts were upon leaving. At the very best it must have complicated what his views on life are. This movie did portray the atmosphere of a Marine on duty...boring, uncomfortable and not at all where you want to be. The only way to keep discipline is to continually call on one's manhood. Thus, women become an objective of purpose, not partners in life.
Being a Marine changes your life...being a Marine in war changes who you are.
With some creativeness from Hollywood, which stretches the reality to ram home these points, this movie addresses what military and war do to a person like you.
