Yes, thanks to the brain dead musings of "the one who shall not be named"
And yes, I'm tired of the rehashing as well. So fuck it! Everyone is entitled to
whatever they feel about a movie, song, work of art, performance etc.
I'll leave it at that.

I normally dislike arguing with fellow Marines.
I had conjured that you would know whether a U.S. Field Grade Officer could be demoted during one nap to Private by a foreign Officer. I was conflicted that you would consider he might be a Private. What sort of process would you think could have been employed, other than criminal actions by General and/or Sgt Farrell, not to mention dishonorable?

The movie also broke the real laws of physics in the movie's version of time travel, so, you know, I don't think about movie being realistic. It is more fantasy-violence-entertainment-hallucination than anything else.
Or, in short, you're watching Cage play a very realistic video game where he has infinite lives until the last stage in the game where he battles the Final Boss. If he is killed by that Boss, he loses the game and is permanently locked out of his Playstation.

Hmmmm. Fantasy rank in Fantasy military in fantastical suspension of belief of anything sensible, reasonable, or based in the real world. I suppose that would work, but I don't think I'll try that.

It is a movie about a man who gets to re-live his life, during a particular time, over and over again. And 2, he gets to fight a giant alien. Pure fantasy with
a side order of sci-fi. So sensibility and reason left the building, but it is
based in the real world (hence the coalition army). It reminds me somewhat of a
movie from a few years back based on a video fighting game - Street Fighter.
It is not meant to be real and asks the audience to suspend their disbelief.
A movie like The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape or Guns of Navarone would need
to keep to the reality of the story because it's based on real situations
involving real war.

Quote:Saving Private Ryan (1998) should have been first (or second) on your examples. "Why?" you ask. Because of Nathan Fillion as Minnesota Ryan.

Nathan comments on his role as the "whiny little crybaby" in Saving Private Ryan.
