Jarhead (2005)

Jarhead is a 2005 film based on U.S. Marine Anthony Swofford's 2003 Gulf War memoir of the which is of same name. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Swofford. This film won the San Diego Film Critics Society Special Award. The title is derived from the slang term used to refer to U.S. Marines. The film was directed Sam Mendes, and co stars Jamie Foxx, Peter Sarsgaard, and Chris Cooper. The most interesting thing about this move to me is that it actually is  is full of controversey because It has been said that parts of the Jarheads plot were taken from Joel Turnipseed's 2002 gulf war memoir,  which is called Baghdad Express without the author's consent.William Broyles Jr the screen writer has come out and stated that "any likenesses arise from the retelling of common Marine experiences". The action in this movie where great but i did not like how the soldiers swore alot. I understand i am 22 and this is a grown up movie but it just seemed like every other word was a harsh swear word. I don't really mind swear words but when every other line has a swear word in it then it kind of becomes annoying.
