I also want to make a recommendation in this comment thread: "American Sniper" based on the life of SEAL sniper Chris Kyle portrayed by Bradley Cooper. The movie was directed by Clint Eastwood.

2021-09-22 04:16:56 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, to a very well done heartbreaking movie. When I saw this in theaters, the whole theater was quiet and solemn during the montage at the end showing the fallen. I later found out that Marcus Lutrell played a part earlier in the movie and in the fallen helicopter scene, which made me glad knowing they consulted him on the movie.

2021-09-22 04:14:42 +0000 UTCYes, we just finished the last episode of Generation Kill in real time, and it was very interesting seeing these back to back. This movie was a whole other level, and I was not expecting this type of brutality since I didn't know what we were getting into. Thank you! And thank you for the recommendations! I need to check out Friday Night Lights too :) -Sam

2021-09-19 01:09:32 +0000 UTCIndeed, it is particularly interesting watching this film while finishing up Generation Kill. Brad and some of the other marines in GK speak about their time in Afghanistan with such reverence - solid command and competent enemies. Commander Kristensen does seem solid (of course he's a SEAL commander, not a marine commander) and the Taliban are certainly NOT like the enemy that the marines face in GK: That assault on the SEALs was organized quickly and effectively... those fuckers have been fighting "invaders", on their home turf, for decades. Additionally, the SEALs in this film mention that their mission is to take out a guy who has been killing marines... a nice, inadvertent tie-in with GK. Anyhow, that was a great reaction, you guys. Glad you found it so powerful and affective. The writer/director of this film, Peter Berg, has a very interesting (and bizarrely eclectic) filmography. I STRONGLY recommend his film The Kingdom (about terrorism and Saudi Arabia). After that, but less urgently, you've got Hancock (dark fucking super hero movie before marvel came along) and Deepwater Horizon (about the real oil spill, with Marky Mark again.) edit: Friday Night Lights, huh? Cool. Downloading it now :)
