Review of Jarhead (2005) by Mikem. — 07 Nov 2005
These mixed reviews are crazy talk, and baffling coming from film critics who one would think would appreciate something a bit less formulaic. the fact that jake gyllenhal's character is reading camus' "The Stranger" throughout the movie should illustrate the pure absurdity of the situtation, as the experience of the soldiers in the Gulf War are equated to the experience of unfathomable persecution.
Very existential, excellent performances, beautiful cinematography that can only be appreciated on the big screen.
