Jarhead

I just finished watching this movie. It was unique... It wasn't necessarily a blockbuster, but it gave me a good insight to what a "Jarhead" or a Marine would/could experience. The movie stared Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx. The movie was about a frustrated marine, who joined
the marines not because he wanted to but because he had no other choice. Then the movie goes on with the marines day to day activities. Such as boot camp, deployments, down time and etc. Like I said, not a blockbuster but unique. Instead of being a movie about fighting the enemies i.e. Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, etc, it shows the fight on boredom and isolation. Good approach if you ask me. I don't recommend this movie , but I do. Know what I mean? Its one of those movies to rent at the video store when you have no other choice.

Oh, a good thing about the movie was the song. The song is called Jesus walks by Kanye West. I recommend the instrumental version of the song.
