Jarhead (4-Nov-2005)
Director: Sam Mendes Writer: William Broyles, Jr. Based on a book: Jarhead: A Marines Chronicle of the Gulf War by Anthony Swofford Music by: Thomas Newman Producers: Douglas Wick; Lucy Fisher Keywords: Drama, Action/Adventure, Sniper, Iraq, Persian Gulf War, Biography, Explosions Film adaptation of the Anthony Swofford memoir of the same name tells of a former Marine's Desert Storm-era experiences in the Middle East.
ABSTRACT Anthony Swofford, a young man and intellectual from Sacramento, California, joins up with the Marines towards the end of the tumultuous 1980s, heading to Saudi Arabia as a sniper after Saddam Hussein's sabre-rattling leads to the Persian Gulf War. Ill-suited for the job of witnessing carnage and perhaps doing some killing himself with little remorse in the name of freedom no matter how well-intentioned the military operation might be, Swofford becomes party to a series of traumatic events under the scorching Arabian sun, ultimately taking his experiences to a tell-all book that would serve as the basis for Jarhead.
