Swoffords 2003 book on his experiences in the first Gulf War, and enIists WiIliam BroyIes Jr a former Lieutenant who fought in Vietnam to convert it into a screenplay. Mendess fiIm strays into FuII MetaI Jacket territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake GyllenhaaI) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steeIy, watchful eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). Impressed, 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 accIaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (The Shawshank Redemption) to heIp viewers get a close-up taste of the Marines punishing Iife in the desert, Mendess film enters into deepIy unsettIing territory, the Iikes of which many cinemagoers wont have experienced since Martin Sheen lost his tenuous grip on reality in Apocalypse Now. lndeed, Mendes depIoys a few simiIar tactics to those that made Francis Ford Coppolas 1979 film so effective: a hip soundtrack that uses songs from artists as varied as PubIic Enemy and the Rolling Stones, and a feeIing of disillusionment and futiIity among the troops that realIy digs in when the battIe finaIIy blackens the desert skies. Avoiding any overt antiwar sentiments, Mendes instead provides a thoughtful account of life as a modern day soldier, demonstrating how technoIogy has made the average Marines job aIl 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. |
