The performances and the photography in the film go a long way to capturing the time and place of Swofford's story and portraying the particular competitive name analysis culture that is specific to the U.S. Marines. But overall, I found that it paled significantly by comparison with the book. The commentaries on this DVD and competitive name analysis the many deleted scenes are a lesson in what happens when a book-length narrative gets squeezed like toothpaste into 90 minutes of linear movie storytelling. Interesting complexities get oversimplified, and film's literal immediacy minimizes more truthful ambiguities. What's missing in this film, for instance, is that competitive name analysis Swofford's book is a 30-year-old's memory of himself as a 20-year-old. Those ten years make a big difference in the way he tells his story and what he chooses to tell us.
