quite pleasing and purists are sure to appreciate it. Although I'll admit to being used to the surround mix by now, there are times during Full Metal

recent viewings, combined with the obvious visual strengths of this 4K transfer, have pushed me slightly over to the other side. All told, it's due to a tighter overall appearance that routinely feels more film-like and stable. Things improve dramatically whenever the boys venture outdoors, as the naturally-lit environments pop with detail and show an improved level of depth and overall texture...which of course, applies to almost the The survivors finally find the sniper. And it is there, in the movie's penultimate scene, that Joker must face a moral choice -- or, more accurately, a dilemma, as there is no good choice to be made. Still, he must decide -- and makes a decision that surely will haunt him for years to come. There are so many things wrong with that stance that I would have trouble finding where to begin. But I will say this: Each of these films is its own world, and each is very much a product of its director's style and vision, and each does different things. "Apocalypse Now" is Francis Ford Coppola's take on the war, and it's the most surreal and deliberately absurd. Michael Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" benefited from its significant focus on the home front during the war -- while the director did present the trauma suffered by soldiers, he also succeeded in depicting the hurts the war inflicted on loved ones, families, even an entire community. Oliver Stone's "Platoon" was, oddly, the most "realistic" of the four films, and in my opinion the least imaginative, though I still think it's a fine film.

Ancor più significativa la scena finale dove viene uccisa una povera bambina vietnamita che evidentemente cercava solo di difendersi dagli invasori. Un film che fa sicuramente riflettere su come gli Americani o meglio il "governo" ha sempre mandato a morire ragazzi giovani innocenti senza scopo alcuno, nè rimorso, schiavizzati, torturati per stupide conquiste di potere, con pretesti senza senso come quello della "pace" uccido e formo cani rabbiosi per uccidere. I do agree with people who say the first act of this film is so impressive and overwhelming that the rest of the picture can seem anti-climactic. Much of the reason lies with R. Lee Ermey, whos portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is one of the most unforgettable performances in cinema history. Hartman's view, apparently, is that boot camp should be as hellish as possible, the better to prepare these would-be Marines from what they'll face in Vietnam. And the irony is he's right; it's just that he takes it to such an extreme that it results in two tragic deaths. Prior to that, though, Hartman unleashes upon his trainees a nonstop stream of profanity, verbal abuse, physical punishment and general humiliation. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. For starters detail is excellent, promoting a cleaned up image that, but for a smattering of early shots, does not appear to have had too heavy an application of DNR scrubbing (there are a couple of mid-range shots where the faces look a little bit too clean), and still has a nice texture to it commensurate to the filming style. Close-ups are par for the course here, and they are perfectly framed, bathed in meticulously designed shadow and are ripe with fine skin detail and clothing texture.

The film immediately shifts to Act Two, in Vietnam. Joker has attained the rank of sergeant and is a correspondent for "Stars and Stripes." Although he seems to like the job, he questions his superior about the euphemisms that are being used by U.S. forces to describe their actions in Vietnam. "Search and destroy," for example, becomes "sweep and clear."technically every bit as good as 2001 and The Shining's 4K presentations from the perspective of authenticity, even if the One of Joker's pals is Rafterman, a combat photographer who is frustrated with simply taking pictures; he wants to see the action, the front lines. Joker, who outranks him, basically tells him that, if he has his way, Rafterman won't get his chance. Rafterman's mother, Joker jokes, would do him physical harm when he returned to the States if he'd let anything happen to her son. Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung stehen SERGEANT JAMES „JOKER“ DAVIS (Matthew Modine), LEONARD „PAULA“ LAWRENCE (Vincent D'Onofrio) und SERGEANT ROBERT „COWBOY“ EVANS (Arliss Howard). company traverse during the film's final stretch. It works in tandem with the tighter image detail to create a more realistic appearance overall, aided Der Film selber basiert auf dem Romanen „The Short-Timers“ von GUSTAF HASFORD und „Dispatches“ von MICHAEL HERR, die beide auch am Drehbuch mitarbeiteten. Beide waren als Kriegsberichterstatter in Vietnam, also ganz wie die Hauptfigur“ PRIVATE JOKER“ (Matthew Modine) im Film.

effort shows a similar amount of care. This is, quite simply, a terrific presentation of a film that's rarely pretty, whether due to its subject matter orLess interested in the horrors of war and more interested in exposing the horrors of what the US did to their own Speaking of which...one welcome addition to this 4K release is the film's original mono audio mix (a rarity among Warner releases), which has not been perpetually behind the curve for high-definition audio in those days, as that disc actually replaced an even earlier Blu-ray with lossy Dolby
