Which film do you think represents war the best and why?

I've never seen deerhunter but I'd say Full Metal Jacket, because it looks all fun and games, then is terrible and awful, and leaves you with a strange feeling throughout the film and after. I'll keep an eye out for the other one though.

Yeah, you're right about Full Metal Jacket. It does have that element.

The Deer Hunter is a super film. It stars Robert DeNero, is 3 hours long and only to be watched if you want to be "moved". Oh, and it's a Vietnam war film.

Cool, will do.

Not heard of this film.
Could you give me a brief description?

The Deerhunter and I like Platoon alot too. Pearl Harbor was a good one as well!

Yeah, I like platoon and Pearl Harbour too.

I was impressed with the historical accuracy of Pearl Harbour.

Yes, it was great! Just watched it on Memorial Day again.

I really enjoyed that film!
Thanks for coming, Raja.

Awesome movie!!

A movie about the Battle of the Bulge called,"Battle Cry"

I've not seen that one.

I guess, I should seek it out seeing as how my Grandad was in that battle.
Thanks.

It starred James Whitmore

Yes,The Deer Hunter was a great movie!! How you been Yog?

Yeah, I like it.

I'm okay. Nice to see you Captain! How's it been going with you?
Any fights on a plain of sand, recently?
Lol.

Not bad,I`m still breathing!! No,not any fights recently!! Great choice in movies,I have it on DVD!!

Good stuff.

Definitely,my friend!!

Slaughter-House Five is the one that comes to mind. The book (Vonnegut) is a brilliant castigation of war, and the movie (1972) was true to the book.

Ooh. That's new to me.
I shall keep an eye out for it.
I always like films that are true to the books that they are based on.
Thanks.

That was a good representation, but so was Full Metal Jacket.

A most enjoyable film.
A good candidate indeed.

even though its not one of my preferred war films, i agree with your comments about the deer hunter. before i read it the first film that came to my mind was the good, the bad and the ugly and how insignificant the american civil war seems to the goals of the 3 main characters. particularly the battle scenes around the wooden bridge that they need to cross.

That is a good film.

It does highlight another aspect of war. There are always people like that around in all wars from what I've read.

hmmmm...
i think lord of the ring is the best war movie...
it is bcoz their creatures are weird and their war is so great...

Selamat pagi, apa khubar?

Well, the comraderie of some of the characters is fairly authentic to real life, I guess.

selamat malam...khabar baik...
yea....exactly...so what movie u like??

Erm...Hari ini sangat sepoy sepoy?
I think that I've reached the limit of my Malay.

I'm not overly keen on the Lords of the rings films. I read the books and feel that the makers of the film did a poor job. But they could have done worse. I still can't understand why they didn't add in Sarumans takeover of the Shire, which happens at the end of the book. There's a reference to it in the film when they look into Galadriels mirror of the future.

I like alot of films. The God father trilogy are quite cool. Dune is very good. I'm watching a Star Trek film that I've not yet seen tonight.

Oh, have you seen Shaun of the dead?

hmmm...lol..i dont know and i dont even watching that movie...but i like the weapons they used in star trek...=))...thats a great weapon lol...i wish i have one...=D

Yeah man.
