As a follow-up to my previous post: “Movie producers and writers, do your homework please.” I actually found a show that I am 100% in awe by.
Being a former Marine I have always had issues with a lot of Marine Corps movies being totally off base. Jarhead written by Anthony Swafford, and Full Metal Jacket are the only Marine movies I could agree with.
Now HBO has launched a 7 part mini series entitled Generation Kill. Generation Kill was written by Evan Wright, a journalist who spent weeks with the Marines of the First Recon Battalion during the first 40 days of the Iraq War.
Generation Kill follows the lives of real Marines represented in the series. As a former Marine I have to say that Evan Wright captured every true to life detail. If you are not watching this, you are missing out.
These guys did their homework! I LOVE THIS MINI SERIES!
