Analyzing War Movies and Such

Jenny... I definitely agree with all your tips for analyzing movies. All the war movies do seem to be very similar at first. It does take some deep thinking to fully understand what exactly the director wanted to portray in his movie. After watching Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket, there are some obvious similarities, but also very different outlooks and points that the director chooses to emphasize. I never realized how many point of views and different interpretations one could take on the same subject.
