Generation Kill is fantastic. Im really surprised its not discussed more here. It had a great mix of banter, humor, suspense, and action.

Rare are movies where you feel the tension and horror of war more intensely than in that movie (actually mini series > movie).

I've heard Platoon was the closet from a couple of vets

Napoleon Dynamite


The dialogue is realistic as well as the characters

>>79011887

how realistic is Jarhead?

Generation kill is the most realistic depiction of modern war ever made

>>79014226
Strange because a couple of vets who fought in nam told me it was the least realistic and that Platoon Leader ( a cheap michael dudikoff action flick) was the most realistic they had seen

>>79011887
generation kill? not much war tho

It's pretty obvious that the U.S. / Israel fund or at least lowkey support ISIS. Follow the logic:

Obama: >Isis is evil and destabilizing the middle east. We need to send more money to our allies in the middle east.
Putin: >Isis? Lets bomb those fuckers...
Obama: >Oh my god! Putin is so evil trying to kill our enemy!

ISIS has so far only destabilized enemies of the US/Israel and is being used as a scape goat to send more money/troops/bombs into that area.

Also, the jews sunk the USS Liberty and had a hand in 9/11.

but all of that is grossly oversimplified, conspiratorial and mostly just plain wrong. Read up on events as they actually happened, educate yourself and stop posting off-topic.

>>79019697
It'd be pretty hilarious if they only played up the "thought he wasn't going to see much action" angle on the cover. Make people think it's a Jarhead sequel actually following the same formula, following the character around doing fuckall and his frustration. Then halfway through the movie he's sitting on the toilet playing a violent game on his phone or something equally dreary, thinking about what a shit assignment it is, when everything suddenly erupts in insanity, with over-the-top explosions and frantic hallway gunfights everywhere as they're attacked and the MC frantically tries to figure out what the fuck to do now that he's finally getting the action he's been waiting for.

>>79022437

>>79023084
Sometimes they are made so cheaply, that they end up making just enough money. They all have shitty actors who they don't have to pay much, all the effects and set dressing is as cheap as possible. Then you sell the dvd's to third world shitholes who think that they are consuming quality american films. I think it just ends up working out.

Bretty gud

The Hurt Locker was quite realistic

Stalingrad..one of the few movies that portrays the German army as not only being competent but also shows the soldiers as having real human emotions. It seems that nearly every American war movie about ww2 has a hard time getting those aspects down.

So you've never seen Saving Private Ryan? Or The Longest Day? A Bridge Too Far?

>>79023916
I have seen those movies but those few are just exceptions to the norm.

>>79023969

>>79019760
>ISIS has so far only destabilized enemies of the US/Israel
But that's bafflingly wrong. We propped up the current Iraqi government, and the fact that ISIS is destabilizing the government there reflects really poorly on us, and at the same time, ISIS is triggering a wave of terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States.

I'll tell you what's really happening, because
>Putin: >Isis? Lets bomb those fuckers...
Is bullshit. There were numerous rebel groups fighting Assad. The Free Syrian Army, the Islamic Front, the Southern front. Some of them unsavory fuckers, yeah, but the FSA was the one we primarily backed, and Assad, backed by Putin, has made sure they're not a factor anymore by bombing the shit out of them. He's somewhat willing to work with ISIS, he's even bought oil from them, but he can't let people see a moderate alternative to him as viable.

But you, with your Putin dick-sucking have probably ingested enough of what he's pumping out to believe what Russia needs people to believe: Russia is the only one that can stand up to ISIS, and Americans are in cahoots with them, when all Russia really cares about is whether their guy Assad stays in power, and making sure he looks good as he does.

>>79024085
>Patton (haha you're actually serious)
>Valkyrie (jewish propoganda, what a joke)
>Kelly's Heroes (German soldiers are as incompetent as ever in this film, did you even read my post you numbskull)
