Generation Kill Audience Reviews j1d16

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Leftbanker Tecumseh Sherman would have given this series 10 stars, I'm sure. Highly entertaining and informative, it tells of the ill-fated Iraq War which any sane person today would say was a total disgrace. Wright definitely sided with the enlisted grunts and portrayed the officers as mostly morons or psychos or both. The series was quite a bit more political than the book.I thought that the football game in the last episode was a brilliant bit of story telling. I also think that the game of football contributes to the violent nature of America.Generation Kill is one of the best series I've ever seen, perhaps THE best. The casting was so spot on that it couldn't have been improved upon. The dialogue at every step of the narrative was filled with humor, insight into the military culture, and tells the viewer a lot about what it is like to be at war.
GUENOT PHILIPPE Sorry, I am French and maybe my question is dumb, but I wonder why the hell we see no Black soldier in this fantastic series, so realistic? Maybe there were no Black soldier in Iraq after all, but that seems very improbable to me. You have only white and Chicanos born troopers. NO BLACK at all !!! And no viewers seem to have noted this. For the rest, this is of course an awesome series... But, please, if any one can help me with this question? You can reach me with my e mail above. Thanks. But maybe the producers and creators of the series avoided Black folks in this series, because there were many of them in THE WIRE show...
gogoschka-1 What you get to see here is a one-of-a-kind mini-series: this is as close to a documentary as it gets. The realities of modern warfare are shown honestly with no political agenda and you are left to draw your own conclusions. When I watched this series I ed a quote from another film, 'The Siege' from 1998, where Bruce Willis' character, a high ranking army official, says something along the lines of: "The army is a broad sword - not a scalpel. So trust me, you do not want to call the army, unless you have absolutely no other option". From an artistic point of view what stands out the most is the ensemble of actors. Not once during the entire seven episodes did I not believe I was watching the actual characters - the performances and the direction in this production are flawless. I've never seen a series that felt as real as this. This goes beyond mere entertainment - this is simply the best contemporary television has to offer. 10 out of 10.Favorite films: http://www.IMDb.com/list/mkjOKvqlSBs/Lesser-known Masterpieces: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls070242495/Favorite Low-Budget and B-Movies: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls054808375/Favorite TV-Shows reviewed: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls075552387/
seventotheone Something that always sticks with me about Generation Kill is the that there is no musical score. Instead in the scenes where one would traditionally hear a song pop up, the cast end up singing it. I thought this was pretty cool.Although linear in storyline, GK is awesome in that it meanders along and not littered with plot devices. As a viewer you get a sense of sitting around waiting with the soldiers.I have never served in the military but the dialogue strikes me as being loyal to what soldiers in these situations would be talking about.The internal politics and power struggles constantly facing the characters add the element of drama which we face in our everyday lives, but in a war zone setting.The insertion of the journo is good writing because in effect since he is never named, I can assume that he is us, the viewer. He asks the questions we want to know.I have watched this entire series now twice and enjoyed it both times.
