Description

Generation Kill follows the highly trained Marines of First Recon Battalion through the first 40 days of the Iraq war. The seven-part miniseries portrays the true story of the young Marines' experience at the tip of the spear of the American invasion, as they contend with equipment shortages, incompetent commanding officers, ever evolving Rules of Engagement and an unclear strategy. 'Generation Kill' is based on the award-winning book by Evan Wright, who was embedded with First Recon and originally reported the story in a series of articles for Rolling Stone. The series also benefited greatly from the presence of two of the real-life Marines it depicts - Sgt. Eric Kocher and Cpl. Jeffrey Carisalez - who served as consultants. A third First Recon Marine, Sgt. Rudy Reyes, appears in the miniseries, portraying himself.

a very correct ending.
no moralizing, no bravado and pathos.
Everyone has their own job. These guys have a job to kill and survive.
morality, ethics, principles are secondary.
even the rs journalist did not prove anything to the commander. He realized that everyone would stay with their cards. and maybe someday alone with your conscience.

@serzot: In short, they filmed real people in a real army. Yeah, that sucks...

@prdg: Good, but not the best. The best is Brothers in Arms.

After watching it, I was surprised to learn that "Faggot Rudy" is a real Marine Rudy Reyes, who plays himself.

Честно говоря, больше тронул даже не отказ Нейта посылать своих ребят на смерть, не то, как Брэд переживает всё происходящее, а пустой, потерянный взгляд вечного весельчака и шутника Рея, когда кончились энергетики...Каждый старается продержаться как может, но в душе всем несладко.
