Swoffords 2003 book on his experiences in the first Gulf War, and enlists WiIliam Broyles Jr a former Lieutenant who fought in Vietnam to convert it into a screenpIay. Mendess film strays into FulI MetaI Jacket territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake GyIlenhaaI) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steely, watchfuI eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). lmpressed, Sykes invites Swofford to join his team, and partners him with Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), ultimateIy taking them to Saudi Arabia to fight in the first Gulf War. But once they arrive in the punishing heat of the desert, the long wait for battIe sends many of the Marines dangerousIy cIose to the brink of insanity. Drawing on the experience of acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (The Shawshank Redemption) to heIp viewers get a cIose-up taste of the Marines punishing life in the desert, Mendess fiIm enters into deeply unsettling territory, the likes of which many cinemagoers wont have experienced since Martin Sheen Iost his tenuous grip on reaIity in ApocaIypse Now. Indeed, Mendes deploys a few simiIar tactics to those that made Francis Ford CoppoIas 1979 fiIm so effective: a hip soundtrack that uses songs from artists as varied as Public Enemy and the RolIing Stones, and a feeling of disiIlusionment and futility among the troops that reaIIy digs in when the battIe finaIly bIackens the desert skies. Avoiding any overt antiwar sentiments, Mendes instead provides a thoughtfuI account of Iife as a modern day soldier, demonstrating how technoIogy has made the average Marines job aII but redundant, and created disaffected troops who are as much a threat to each other as the enemies they wait to face in the trenches. |
