About this product

Product Information

For his third feature film, British director Sam Mendes (AMERICAN BEAUTY) turns to the pages of Anthony Swofford's 2003 book on his experiences in the first Gulf War, and enlists William Broyles Jr.--a former Lieutenant who fought in Vietnam--to convert it into a screenplay. Mendes's film strays into FULL METAL JACKET territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steely, watchful eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). Impressed, Sykes invites Swofford to join his team, and partners him with Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), ultimately taking them to Saudi Arabia to fight in the first Gulf War. But once they arrive in the punishing heat of the desert, the long wait for battle sends many of the Marines dangerously close to the brink of insanity.Drawing on the experience of acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) to help viewers get a close-up taste of the Marines' punishing life in the desert, Mendes's film enters into deeply unsettling territory, the likes of which many cinemagoers won't have experienced since Martin Sheen lost his tenuous grip on reality in APOCALYPSE NOW. Indeed, Mendes deploys a few similar tactics to those that made Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film so effective: a hip soundtrack that uses songs from artists as varied as Public Enemy and the Rolling Stones, and a feeling of disillusionment and futility among the troops that really digs in when the battle finally blackens the desert skies. Avoiding any overt antiwar sentiments, Mendes instead provides a thoughtful account of life as a modern day soldier, demonstrating how technology has made the average Marine's job all but redundant, and created disaffected troops who are as much a threat to each other as the enemies they wait to face in the trenches.

    As advertised. Listing indicated dvds were in good condition. Could have been advertised like new. Dvds were clean, no smudges. All dvds played well. Shipped quickly, arrived much earlier than estimated. Packaged very well. Seller recommended. Great price for all 4 movies.

    This item was exactly as described in the seller's listing. Shipping was fast and accurate. The seller used a plastic jiffy pack with an extra layer of bubble wrap around the item. The price was great for a new copy of this game. this seller did an excellent job and I would buy from them again. Thank You!

    The item was shipped promptly and I received it quickly. Upon arrival I noticed it was nicely packed with adequate packaging to protect the parcel. The item is in great condition just as it was described in the listing. Seller not only appeared to be quite reputable but that has been confirmed in this sale. I hope to do business again in the future and will be intentional about checking their stock first before shopping elsewhere.
