[Machette]

Came back an hour ago from the early show, amazing film. Mendes did a good job following most of the book but got side-tracked in a few scenes, to send different messages acroos. The film to me spoke massive volumes on troop behavior, eg. *Spoiler* In one scene Swof and his spotter is able to kill someone but the action is over-ruled by a superior officer, Troy (the spotter) then begins to get emotional because the war has brought such heavy boredom to him, but it's also something most marines want to do when they get in a war (kill the enemy) ...Very good film, I couldn't answer whether or not it was anti-war or pro-war but I can tell you its very marginal..
