We, the Marines

The film is really good and of course it's a recruiting tool and I will this to anyone who wants to join up. It's also a feel good movie, check it out and if you like it then stop by the recruiting office, the movie is convincing.

Propaganda-level promotion of the Marine Corps that is both exhilarating and without any conflict. Phenomenal visuals. Screenplay...................................... 5 / 10 Visuals................................................ 10 Sound................................................... 7 Editing................................................ 6 Music....................................................... 5 Timeless Utility................................. 5 Total.................................................... 38 / 60 ~= 6.3 (rounded to 6) Verdict................................................. Enjoyable, especially for vets and military enthusiasts.

Just another American propaganda doc. "Defending" America 10.000km from home. Slaughtering whoever they want, for whatever reasons they need. Transporting opium and heroin all over the world, stealing gold and resources. That's what American military is for.

I've been reading the reviews talking about this film being a cheap recruitment video. IT IS. Gene Hackman is great, but in this movie he sounds more like a fanatic... What about the music? Was theaf the guy who chose it Waste of time

The Marines were created with good intension probably. But today used by the government for mostly illegal wars. This move is just for propaganda, nothing else.

America has invaded or played some part in overthrowing governments all over the world. Everyone thinks the Russians are bad, the Yanks are the evil of this world. I've lost a lot respect for Gene Hackman. America had 9/11 coming to them. I feel sorry for the innocent victims, it should have been the recent presidents and their war advisors. America wants to rule the world, but they need to look at governing their own country properly first.

Pure propagandist garbage conveniently "forgetting" the massacres carried out by the oh-so valiant Marines. Leni Riefenstahl couldn't have been happier with this "documentary".

I'm a former Marine and film maker. This was cheaply done and it makes sense that people would say this is a recruitment doc. The shots were great. The "recruits" were not conveying the pain and struggles of boot camp. It seemed like they were actors. what pissed me off the most was that they were using sound files in the background that did not match the clip , and in one of those sound files I looked up the close caption and the drill instructor said "what are you doing soldier?" if you were in the Marines you know damn well we don't call each other soldier, which I assumed meant they used a sound file from a totally different project. Army; soldier , marines; Marines . Among other things Gene Hackman was talking about certain types of training in Boot Camp, while showing a video clip of the silent drill team training. We do not train for the silent drill team in Boot Camp. I turned it off not even halfway through

I'm a fan of the military and enjoy a good movie be it fictional or not... historical documentaries and anything related to battles, wars or people fascinate me! Saying all that I found this documentary short hard to watch.... nothing wrong with the filming or amazing images!!! Gene doing his thing is just right for this... but! It really feels like a recruitment movie... and it really glosses over the hardship horrors and realities of what these boys and girls will put themselves through!! And With à script that just didn't sit right and felt propaganda/ish I found it hard to watch after 15min... that's just my two cents though! God bless all the service men and women the world over!
