Things aren't neccessarily anti-american just because they're not done in a "god bless america and fuck everywhere else" kind of way. I thought it was an interesting, insightful film, with decent dialogue, and good atmosphere.
Not everything has to be all guns and explosions to retain MY interest.
There's no right and wrong in film choices, you just make yourself look like a childish dick when you carry on the way you do...

Interesting movie. I'm usually the first one to slam a movie for being over political (if it's not a political movie) and really I didn't see anything here that blasted America at all. This film was more about the people who were there and waiting, trained to kill and fight but having nothing to do. Can you imagine building yourself up to kill but have to sit around with all of that rage built up inside you? I don't know, seemed liked this movie focused more on the assault on the soldiers' psyche rather than the assault in the desert. Anyway, I liked Jarhead but I admit, I was underwhelmed. Maybe I'll check it out again who knows. ANYWAY...
Finally got Aracnaphobia in the mail wooohooo.
