I love war films and Drama especially historical ones like Sharpe and hornblower I suppose reading those books in my teens inspired me to join t'army. Ironically my favourite war film is American and fictional. Starring Clint Eastward and Donald sutherland among others, Kelly's Heroes. The plot is about a platoon of soldiers fighting behind enemy lines not for any altruistic or heroic...
Clint Eastwood, yes, but for "Letters From Iwo Jima." The Japanese get to do the Horatio role.
And this characterization is what makes the film. Saigo had to be sympathetic and accessible to worldwide viewers, and he could easily have come off as a slacker or buffoon. Big props to Kazunari Ninomiya.

It does Don. Manning took both titles from the following exchange between Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and Hamlet: Guildenstern : On Fortune's cap we are not the very button. Hamlet : Nor the soles of her shoe? Rosencrantz : Neither, my lord. Hamlet : Then you live about her waist, or in the middle of her favours? Guildenstern : Faith, her privates we. Hamlet : In the secret parts of fortune? O, most true; she is a strumpet.
I think it's at the FOB (or whatever it was called). They're making fun of the Somalis about goats or something (fucking goats? using goats as currency? Don't remember) and one guy doesn't join in and the conversation goes from there.

I am not familiar with the laws there but his actions would seem to be a violation, particularly in regrads to trespass laws. I cannot imagine any state law that would give your neighbor the right to carry on someone elses property especially when they have been asked/instructed to not do so.

Ah, I was forgetting my Hamlet. I figured 'her' to be the Queen, which rases the question of whether there are any 'Queen's' regiments when a King is on the throne. I'm sort of under the impression that they find regiments for all the extant royals at any particular time....
Yes Pilgrim ........ I agree that The Odd Angry Shot was a very enjoyable film. Incidentally, the only movie so far mentioned that I cannot recall having seen is Talvisota mentioned by ElAl. I don't agree with Potter that war films necessarily glorify war. In fact many achieve the opposite response. No more than westerns inspire people to settle arguments with six shooters (Americans excluded) Actually I rather enjoy period war movies...
