as the naturally-lit environments pop with detail and show an improved level of depth and overall texture...which of course, applies to almost the due to a tighter overall appearance that routinely feels more film-like and stable. Things improve dramatically whenever the boys venture outdoors, Der Film selber basiert auf dem Romanen „The Short-Timers“ von GUSTAF HASFORD und „Dispatches“ von MICHAEL HERR, die beide auch am Drehbuch mitarbeiteten. Beide waren als Kriegsberichterstatter in Vietnam, also ganz wie die Hauptfigur“ PRIVATE JOKER“ (Matthew Modine) im Film.
Ancor più significativa la scena finale dove viene uccisa una povera bambina vietnamita che evidentemente cercava solo di difendersi dagli invasori. Un film che fa sicuramente riflettere su come gli Americani o meglio il "governo" ha sempre mandato a morire ragazzi giovani innocenti senza scopo alcuno, nè rimorso, schiavizzati, torturati per stupide conquiste di potere, con pretesti senza senso come quello della "pace" uccido e formo cani rabbiosi per uccidere. substantially in overall appearance. Early scenes do not immediately stand out as visual stunners; after all, there's only so much you can do with Clearly the stars of the piece are R. Lee Ermey's Gunnery Sergeant, who basically spends the first half of the movie shouting, and Vincent D'Onofrio's beleaguered sap Private Pyle. They dominate the highly memorable first half of the movie with some electric dialogue - Ermey's alone including some of the most quotable lines in movie history. These are fierce performances that echo throughout the movie, and overshadow the latter half, where Matthew Modine and a young Adam Baldwin take centre stage to face the horrors of urban guerrilla warfare. Both Modine and Baldwin deliver some of their best work, but it still pales in comparison to the opening scenes. quite pleasing and purists are sure to appreciate it. Although I'll admit to being used to the surround mix by now, there are times during Full MetalThere are so many things wrong with that stance that I would have trouble finding where to begin. But I will say this: Each of these films is its own world, and each is very much a product of its director's style and vision, and each does different things. "Apocalypse Now" is Francis Ford Coppola's take on the war, and it's the most surreal and deliberately absurd. Michael Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" benefited from its significant focus on the home front during the war -- while the director did present the trauma suffered by soldiers, he also succeeded in depicting the hurts the war inflicted on loved ones, families, even an entire community. Oliver Stone's "Platoon" was, oddly, the most "realistic" of the four films, and in my opinion the least imaginative, though I still think it's a fine film. Warner Bros. already did an exceptional job with 2001 and The Shining's 4K restorations, so it's no surprise that their third
Speaking of which...one welcome addition to this 4K release is the film's original mono audio mix (a rarity among Warner releases), which has not beenDiese beiden sind also wirklich erstklassig, dagegen „anzustinken“ war für MATTHEW MODINE ziemlich schwer, dennoch kann er in der Rolle des „Private Joker“ voll überzeugen. recent viewings, combined with the obvious visual strengths of this 4K transfer, have pushed me slightly over to the other side. All told, it's I do agree with people who say the first act of this film is so impressive and overwhelming that the rest of the picture can seem anti-climactic. Much of the reason lies with R. Lee Ermey, whos portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is one of the most unforgettable performances in cinema history. Hartman's view, apparently, is that boot camp should be as hellish as possible, the better to prepare these would-be Marines from what they'll face in Vietnam. And the irony is he's right; it's just that he takes it to such an extreme that it results in two tragic deaths. Prior to that, though, Hartman unleashes upon his trainees a nonstop stream of profanity, verbal abuse, physical punishment and general humiliation.
