Reviewing Movies

The opening industrial hair cutting. Everyone comes out looking like a
sheared sheep. Matthew Modine's John Wayne impersonations. Leonard's
oafish ineptitude and the nighttime soap bar discipline. The
confrontation in the Head. The jump to Vietnam where Joker continues his
cornball. The verbal slugfest with Adam Baldwin's Animal.

The music that accompanies is a survey of sixties and seventies rock.
Joker's Buddy Cowboy may be from Texas but he lacks both the height and
physical presence to assume command and when it falls to him he lacks
the respect of his men who disobey his orders and waste copious amounts
of ammo out of frustration with no enemy in sight and eventually get him
killed. The singing of the Mickey Mouse Theme at the end seems only
appropriate. Both a comment on the war and an expression of joy at still
being alive having beaten the odds.
