Soul. This is the greatest war film ever made.
"I've seen a little on TV"
You ever think about how almost everything we know about the experience of war comes from movies or TV? Unless you've been deployed or watch a lot of combat footage your perception is almost entirely shaped by fiction. Then I wonder what other subjects are the same.
Sex
Yeah, it does make me reconsider what's considered "authentic". Especially with older wars with not many veterans around to talk to about it.
>you talk the talk,do you walk the walk?
how would you respond
Before I met my first girlfriend my perspective on sex was entirely shaped by pornography. It's honestly horrifying looking back at it.
After seeing this movie so many times, I actually prefer the second half in Vietnam to the bootcamp scenes.
>Yes
I feed the Sneed
Fucking based. Needs to be written on a helmet cover.
the most authentic are generation kill and jarhead, but neither completely
Vietnam veterans said that We Were Soldiers was more reflective of the war than FMJ, Apocalypse Now or Platoon. Whether that's true or not is up for debate.
You have to remember that these films are just the writer and director's ideas and thoughts about the war, and many spent their formative years being against said war.
Oliver Stone is an actual Vietnam veteran though, props to him for that.
>FMJ, Apocalypse Now or Platoon
All more kino than We Were Soldiers.
Being kino is not necessarily dependent upon being accurate to the war.
What did you try to do with her and did she laugh?
Not that guy but when I first fucked I pulled out and sat on the girl's torso to cum on her tits.
She looked very worried lol.
Porn is a terrible thing though, it totally fucks your sensitivity. You worry so much about premature ejaculation with your first time and you finally have sex and you can't finish without your hand.
Yea, i grew up obsessed with WW2 and essentially brainwashed myself with decades old propaganda.
I was medically disqualified from service and took it really badly but one day i was watching Band of Brothers. Feeling pathetic for never having been in the military and then i realised neither had any of the actors on screen. Was the first step of getting over it.
there's nothing wrong with doing that, your bitch sounds dumb
More like his girl isn't very familiar with porn.
Are you me? Growing up I found that much of my behavior was based on tv and film that I saw. I feel like that made me into a more awkward person, as I tried to emulate the tv, rather than get true experience. I hate to think what the long-term ramifications of this are.
You actually did brainwash yourself. Everything you wanted from the military can be gained through men's get-togethers and camping trips. You don't need to sign your life away to the United States to be a man.
There are thousands of gigabytes of raw combat footage, from just about every perspective you can muster.
With that in mind, consider that current reality is kind of a feedback loop with fiction now.
Memes affecting reality like and at the same time reality shaping memes.
I feel lucky that porn didn't really ruin me. I always knew it was fake, so I never based anything on it.
was this the only original work Kubrick made or was it another adaptation from a novel?
This. There are good documentsries about it, like All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace.
Uhh the quote is actually
>I've seen a little on Yea Forums
This was a reference to the old BBSs they used on terminals to shitpost.
Furthermore, the barriers between "fiction" and "reality" have always been illusionary. We are finally realizing a feedback loop that has always existed.
Unironically why I like watching raw combat footage and criminal shootouts

"SOUL BROTHER TOO BEAUCOUP" - stanley "the original tarantino" kubrick
holy based
was this the tamest confrontation in tv history?
;_;7

Fun fact: nuclear radiation doesn‘t glow green, but blue.
I walked here all the way from your momma‘s house
Stone was so bad at war he got fragged by his own buddies
Almost everything you know is something told to you by another person
It's actually quite beautiful.
I did national service, army life is 80% maintaining equipment/waiting, 10% cleaning, 5% drill/PT and 5% doing actual assignments
