The
story of soldiers from bootcamp to Vietnam depicted in a realistic and
fictional story. Private Joker is followed through his journey of field
reporting and eventually become a real soldier forced to kill or be
killed. After surviving the toughest Sergeant, Joker is ready for
almost anything.
This is one of the best war dramas that has ever been made. I love this
film because of its almost realistic portrayal. Stanley Kubrick is one
of the greatest film directors/minds that has ever lived, may he rest
in peace.
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
