- ርልዪረFebruary 23, 2025It was AMAZING! It teaches me a lot about what they were like in war. I am actually learning about it right now in school and this movie helped me get an A+ on my science paper! Thank you so much to everyone who made this movie it really helped me out in school and in life. It was a great plot twist when the "fat guy" was getting punished in really terrible ways and then killed there captain and then killed himself wow I thought he would just be happy that he learned how to move his gun but I was wrong....... I am not gonna spoil anymore so if you see this before the movie........................................... GO WATCH IT IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
- andrewAugust 16, 2025my confusions of honor were abundant, but after watching this film i feel myself now enlightened to how the nation’s hierarchy of reverence descends in order: billionaires -> athletes -> rockstars -> actors -> millionaires -> and only then, public servants and veterans. what shocked me most was not the brutality of the marines’ training, but how a society that sends its young men to war seems to save its deepest admiration for those who never leave the stage.
