Review of Biloxi Blues (1988) by Mitchell E — 17 Sep 2008
Mike Nichol's is the genius director behind the graduate and he does it again in this funny, quirky, and lighthearted film. Matthew Broderick is perfectly cast as the naive New Yorker who joins the army and gets shipped to boot camp in Biloxi Mississippi one of my favorite scenes in the film is when the recruits are getting off the train and one of the first things Eugene (Broderick's) character complains about is the heat I think the comedic timing is perfect.
Another highlight is the always brilliant Christopher Walken as the tough as nails drill sergeant who makes the platoon hate Eugene right off the bat in another hilarious scene. This film is not all slapstick comedy though it delves into some very serious issues that we as a country faced during WW2.
I was very entertained by this hour and fourty seven minute film. Worth a watch! :up:
