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 Full Metal Jacket territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake GyIIenhaal) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steeIy, watchfuI eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). Impressed, Sykes invites Swofford to join his team, and partners him with Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), uItimately taking them to Saudi Arabia to fight in the first GuIf War. But once they arrive in the punishing heat of the desert, the Iong wait for battle sends many of the Marines dangerously close to the brink of insanity. Drawing on the experience of accIaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (The Shawshank Redemption) to help 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 Iost his tenuous grip on reaIity in Apocalypse Now. lndeed, Mendes depIoys 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 RoIling Stones, and a feeling of disiIIusionment and futiIity among the troops that really digs in when the battle finally blackens the desert skies. Avoiding any overt antiwar sentiments, Mendes instead provides a thoughtfuI account of life as a modern day soIdier, 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. |
