if you were wondering what they were doing there as marines, then this movie would really gear you up for army life later. not exactly singaporean style but then bits and pieces of the army lifestyle would be applicable. i still remember how the main character narrates the story as it goes on and the shite that he has to go through. Like getting cheated by his gf, covering his friends mistake which got him demoted, seeing charred bodies and how he keeps repeating the masturbation part over and over again. I really dig the part of how they portray the thoughts of the soldier in their own perspective and not by exaggerating them.
the second one,
well, i suppose quite a few of you out there have catch this movie recently. really inspirational if you aspire to be a teacher.i dont mind hillary swank being my teacher you know, i havent really got a teacher like her before. okay, seriously, i found out its actually based on a true story from a bunch of kids in long beach, they wrote their lifes and what they had gone through in a journal then into a book and it actually helped to ease out the racial differences that existed in that class plus it had a positive effect on their minds. But one thing is that i like about how they used the holocaust incident during the Nazi war against the Jews, i mean people who are racist should look up what happened during that war and realise it aint worth nothing to hate and kill.by the way, a few of my friends already got their enlistment letter into the police academy, when am i getting mine huh. I really cant wait to don the uniform, serve 2 years and then figuring out what to do next apart from getting further education.
