He was experiencing a form of violent and penetrative, although necessary, institutionalization. Thomas had just entered a world that was counter to every aspect of his life. He was in pain, most likely traumatized at some level, in shock, lost and needed to talk to a friend.
Robert was a dear friend but at this point in Thomas’ life their friendship was removed by Robert’s commission and Thomas’ non-commission standing.
Braveheart was released nearly three decades ago, that chip you’re carrying on your shoulder must be a boulder by now.
Good points and appreciate the Chow Yun Fat clip!
That was Ellen Nyqvist, daughter of Michael Nyqvist, she was actually working there at the time and Fincher put her in the film. Small fucking world.
Reaching for the stars on this one Prometheus, aren’t we?
Goodness gracious, they’re both excellent films in their own right.
Mara’s performance alone is worth the viewing.
It’s definitely worth revisiting, the overall plot is the same but with enough subtle differences (some not so subtle), to make the viewing of each version well worth it.
Chain of command.
The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze, Rawlins says so in so many words. Tripp would have been beaten to an inch of his life had he struck Mulcahy or possibly killed, Rawlins knew this and was looking out for him.
And as Trevorh said, this is infantry bootcamp, it’s no fucking joke, ask me how I know ; )
Funny you should mention as this particular scene was my only real gripe throughout the entire film. I actually had to stop and go back to see if he even looked through the sites, he did not...
I disagree, yes Kurtz says a portion of what you posted (Willard asserts the unsound part, not Kurtz) but remember, Willard is not the first soldier sent to assassinate Kurtz, Colby was sent on the same mission. Any soldier sent thereafter is reasonably there to terminate the Colonel’s command.
Kurtz is a brilliant tactician, it probably took him a whopping one second to deduce why Willard was there.
By your username it’s safe to assume that at the very least you appreciate the works of Tarantino, yet you post about the validation of psychopaths, physical sensationalism and emotion over reason. It sounds like there is a deeper issue underlining your disdain for a film you refuse to see yet feel compelled to lecture on. What’s really goin on?
Deliverance is an excellent film by the way and you’re most certainly missing out.
Certain scenes may be depressing, but as a whole it’s far from depressing. Trainspotting is a brilliant, laugh out loud funny, colorful, well written film, whose characters are authentic, vulnerable, and relatable. Requiem for a Dream is depressing (a fantastic film, should be viewed at least once IMO).
How do you feel about The Basketball Diaries?
Bruce Rivers is the criminal Lawyer!
Love this guy
Says the twerp who posts comments taken out of context by a sensationalistic media.
He gave a two hour interview, did you listen to it in its entirety or just see a blurb on Facebook condemning Affleck?
Why come you don’t have a tattoo?
But don’t worry scrote, there’s plenty of tards living really kickass lives.
Is Lindacrusher a clever name or am I simply caught in a sexually potent coincidence?
And I second Karl’s inquiry.
I bet you walked a mile in the snow to get to school too ; )
Well said.
This, Trainspotting can be viewed over and over and over again, it’s a great film but it doesn’t leave you feeling dead inside like Requiem does. No one is watching Requiem on repeat, no one with a soul at least, it hits too hard.
