Ancor più significativa la scena finale dove viene uccisa una povera bambina vietnamita che evidentemente cercava solo di difendersi dagli invasori. effort shows a similar amount of care. This is, quite simply, a terrific presentation of a film that's rarely pretty, whether due to its subject matter or
For starters detail is excellent, promoting a cleaned up image that, but for a smattering of early shots, does not appear to have had too heavy an application of DNR scrubbing (there are a couple of mid-range shots where the faces look a little bit too clean), and still has a nice texture to it commensurate to the filming style. Close-ups are par for the course here, and they are perfectly framed, bathed in meticulously designed shadow and are ripe with fine skin detail and clothing texture. recent viewings, combined with the obvious visual strengths of this 4K transfer, have pushed me slightly over to the other side. All told, it's Speaking of which...one welcome addition to this 4K release is the film's original mono audio mix (a rarity among Warner releases), which has not been perpetually behind the curve for high-definition audio in those days, as that disc actually replaced an even earlier Blu-ray with lossy Dolby as the naturally-lit environments pop with detail and show an improved level of depth and overall texture...which of course, applies to almost theDiese beiden sind also wirklich erstklassig, dagegen „anzustinken“ war für MATTHEW MODINE ziemlich schwer, dennoch kann er in der Rolle des „Private Joker“ voll überzeugen.
I do agree with people who say the first act of this film is so impressive and overwhelming that the rest of the picture can seem anti-climactic. Much of the reason lies with R. Lee Ermey, whos portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is one of the most unforgettable performances in cinema history. Hartman's view, apparently, is that boot camp should be as hellish as possible, the better to prepare these would-be Marines from what they'll face in Vietnam. And the irony is he's right; it's just that he takes it to such an extreme that it results in two tragic deaths. Prior to that, though, Hartman unleashes upon his trainees a nonstop stream of profanity, verbal abuse, physical punishment and general humiliation. counterpart. The film was theatrically matted for 1.85:1 but presented in 1.33:1 open matte on many earlier home video releases, which followed Less interested in the horrors of war and more interested in exposing the horrors of what the US did to their own This movie shows the manufacturing of trained killers engaging communist Vietnamese forces in country. The day to day lives of the training of U.S marine corps personal and the challenges they faced on the battlefield. The movie "apocalypse now" does not accurately present a picture on the battlefield as there would have been no battalion commander to have let his soldiers surf during a beachhead assault. Nor would have civilian "Playboy Bunnies" been able to go into a forward area to prostitute for service members.The film immediately shifts to Act Two, in Vietnam. Joker has attained the rank of sergeant and is a correspondent for "Stars and Stripes." Although he seems to like the job, he questions his superior about the euphemisms that are being used by U.S. forces to describe their actions in Vietnam. "Search and destroy," for example, becomes "sweep and clear." One of Joker's pals is Rafterman, a combat photographer who is frustrated with simply taking pictures; he wants to see the action, the front lines. Joker, who outranks him, basically tells him that, if he has his way, Rafterman won't get his chance. Rafterman's mother, Joker jokes, would do him physical harm when he returned to the States if he'd let anything happen to her son.

due to a tighter overall appearance that routinely feels more film-like and stable. Things improve dramatically whenever the boys venture outdoors, substantially in overall appearance. Early scenes do not immediately stand out as visual stunners; after all, there's only so much you can do with technically every bit as good as 2001 and The Shining's 4K presentations from the perspective of authenticity, even if the Un film che fa sicuramente riflettere su come gli Americani o meglio il "governo" ha sempre mandato a morire ragazzi giovani innocenti senza scopo alcuno, nè rimorso, schiavizzati, torturati per stupide conquiste di potere, con pretesti senza senso come quello della "pace" uccido e formo cani rabbiosi per uccidere. The survivors finally find the sniper. And it is there, in the movie's penultimate scene, that Joker must face a moral choice -- or, more accurately, a dilemma, as there is no good choice to be made. Still, he must decide -- and makes a decision that surely will haunt him for years to come.
