Can you guys give me some realistic military kino like this one, so I can stop watching it over and over on Netflix

cringe

yeah wasn't this the movie where the guy snuck off base alone.

it's not realistic but just watch Generation Kill, it's both realistic and funny as fuck.

>It really captured the essence of the marine corps experience but the movie left out alot
The movie captured a lot of it, so much so it's still the most accurate depiction of the military I've seen in film.

t. Iraq war vet

Probably the least realistic military movie of all time. If you want to watch something that most accurately depicts the jargon, retardation, and life in the military watch Generation Kill.

>Hurt Locker
>Realistic
I'm an OIF vet. That movie is a joke. Generation Kill is the most accurate and only decent kino from this era

thank you for your service

Agreed. Gen Kill nails it, I think it's all due to the journalist guy in the show was actually attached them in real life

lol

same reason why The Wire which is also by David Simon is so realistic as well. He was with the murder police for a year.

Oh nonononono /mil/bros, look at the top of this dudes head ahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns! What an amazing metaphor!

It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.

Do the later seasons continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.

Also the acting is amazing. Idris Elba and Dominic West do a great job with their Baltimore accents.

What is the point of this pasta? Asking for a friend.

I WAS EOD.
One why they screen EOD candidates is literally by asking them if they like Hurt Locker. They answer yes, they either get dropped OR the next test they take is a fuck up problem... and so is the re test.

Thats a nice today haircut that hawkeye has. How do I ask for it at the barber?

>outside without a cover
I bet that faggot will have his hands in his pockets soon.

The wire fucking sucks

Based on what?

>invincible whistling gay black hitman
>realistic

True, but it still had an element of over exaggerated bravado yelling and clowning around that is so cliche in military movies today. Truth be told shenanigans are a constant in the military, but they are often more nuanced, subtle, and complex, that what is shown on film, the book did an amazing job of expressing reality in a literary way.

For example: There was a part in the book where the protagonist(swofford) briefly explained the phenomenon of barracks "laywers" and how when someone would get in trouble for something, everyone wanted to know happened, but more important than what he actually did, is how he got caught; "in case you decided to try to pull the same stunt".

It was this nuance and level of realistic first hand unspoken experience being expressed in a way that resonates with remarkable depth to any former marine is what separated the book from the move. In fairness movies have much more restrictions, time and entertainment factor considered.

>killed by a minor
Doesn't seem so invincible.

The cinematography and way some of the scenes were filmed I remember being pretty cool, I only watched it once and that was when it came out, but it was too Hollywood for me.

Also, I enjoyed The Kingdom much better than Hurt Locker or Jarhead, it's a highly underrated flick IMO plus MannKino

to show that the poster thinks he's too intelligent for The Wire because it has one really hamfisted part in like the first episode.
Sure there are elements that are more fantastical, but in general how the people talk and such is on the same level of realism as Generation Kill. Many parts are straight from the non-fiction book.

>The Kingdom
That opening scene is brutal as fuck. Movie overall is a decent action film but drops the ball with heavy handed messaging at the end.
>MannKino
Which Mann movie are we talking about?

Explain to a civie why hurt locker is bad

The guy sneaks off base by himself for some reason. That scene alone disqualifies it from ever being even remotely being considered realistic.

>it's not realistic
haha yeah marines aren't like that at all

if you're implying The Hurt Locker is realistic you're the first person to ever say that.
I worded that post badly though, so you may think I said that Generation Kill isn't realistic.

>t. white kid that has never spent time in the hood
Moonlight had the same problem, shit was fake as fuck obviously written by a bunch of white dudes who listened to nwa once

It's not necessarily a bad movie, but it's not a good movie either. The fact that it doesn't embrace the fact that it is full blown fantasy and try's to Larp as realistic really hurts it.

Yeah I meant generation kill. My bad.

I just googled and Moonlight was written by black dudes, both the original story and the screenplay.
The Wire was written by a jew who was a criminal reporter and was with the murder police for a year.

quit larping as a nigger, shit's embarrassing.

>Jenkins later earned a Master of Fine Arts in film from Florida State University in Tallahassee in 2003.[2]
Like i said, white guy

Its okay bro, white people secretly love to watch shows about blacks acting hood and saying the nword, i get it

Buffalo soldier

Red Tails

Met a soldier at an airport terminal few years back. Told me he was a gunner. He also told me Hurt Locker isn't realistic. He said Generation Kill, The Hornets Nest, and Restrepo are the most accurate. Didn't want to give him ptsd so I switched the subject to sports.

ZERO DARK THIRTY

hurt locker when it came out had a short period of critical acclaim, then suddenly fell from grace and was considered a laughably bad movie because of how innaccurate it is to the reality of EOD/military in general. I don't know why because I have not seen it, but this is what happened at the movie's reception. presumably OP is intentionally making a bait thread by calling hurt locker "realistic" since haha, of course the joke is that hurt locker is famously unrealistic

t. the driveby spoonfeeding boomer

EOD guys clearing buildings. EOD guys driving around on their own in bandit country. EOD guys are now a sniper team. EOD guys running around Iraqi backsteets at night. EOD guy sneaking out of base etc, etc etc.

It's crazily unrealistic.

the majority of any american produced films are under the censors of the Pentagon and they have to portray the military how the Pentagon wants or they dont get the their support, so it's essentially propaganda.

hard to find any good films actually
