normally i couldn't give less of a shit about whether a not a film is 'historically accurate', but if you look up the wikipedia article for lone survivor, it immediately becomes apparent that both the author of the book and peter berg as a director are totally invested in making this story into a ludicrous call of duty-esque fantasy where these hardened military bros say shit like 'I AM THE REAPER' to their enemies and get hit by a half-dozen bullets and fall down two mile-long cliffs before their bodies finally give up the ghost. yeah, it's a movie, i get it, everything is inherently fictional, whatever, but when berg is trying to go for this tactical weighty realism, it…

Heute schreibe ich dir, lieber Taylor, mein Schwarm wie des Buckelwals Sardinenschwärme, mein Grund mich am führen Morgen aus dem Bett zu heben vorausgegangenen Augenaufschlages, mein Puls messbar an der linken Brust, an der Halsschlagader wie an der Pulsader und somit mich und mit mir meine Liebe zu dir widerspiegelnd als ein Leben an deiner Seite.
Sie mag, wie ich durchaus weiß, mir immer wieder ins Gedächtnis rufe so ungern ich die Wahrheit auch vor dem Auge sehe, eine wohl sehr einseitige Liebe sein, vergleichbar, ja, vergleichbar wie die Zecke und das die Wiese durchstreifende Tier oder der Mensch. Du wirst mich nie kennenlernen. Nicht einmal von meiner Existenz erfahren. Sie höchstens als eine Zahl unter vielen…
Peter Berg caught my attention with the movie Deepwater Horizon, and ever since then I have enjoyed a lot of his work. The docu-drama style he always aims for its like a less maniac, shaky and cooler version of Peter Greengrass which gives his films a certain sense of realism, especially since many of his films are based on real-life stories, so the films feel like better-performed retellings of those events.
With this in mind, I have to admit that my viewing experience of this film was not quite what I expected, for better and for worse. On the one hand, as I mentioned before, Berg's realistic style created the illusion that I was in the middle of all the…
What are earlobes for anyway?

Probably the most disturbing part of Lone Survivor is realizing that the shallow caricatures displayed on screen is the best Peter Berg could come up with through his directing and writing in representing very real Navy SEALs. It's not a matter of whether or not you believe them to be heroes and deserving of something better, it's a matter of this being a story about real people and having more detail put into their brutal deaths then making any attempt at making any of them feel real.
Honestly if the film was an entire work of fiction it would have been panned by critics as a violent propaganda film. We have had too…
it's important to point out here that what's being valorized (fetishized, actually) isn't deadly efficiency, it's endurance and sacrifice. Berg has spent a lot of time around SEALs, and his respect (and, yes, love) for them is as close to awe as makes no odds, and he paints them here as the ultimate extremophiles, not as assassins. He doesn't shy away from their capacity for lethal violence and even their desire to inflict it, but only because that's the discipline.
this gets him into all kinds of trouble. first, like a lot of military narratives, this is awfully simplistic, never really questioning the larger objectives or logistical quagmire of the Afghan conflict. there's an argument to be made that this…
I have nothing but respect for soldiers who are willing to risk life and limb, be it for their own country or the freedom of others. I'm getting the feeling director Berg doesn't share that sentiment.
There is some interesting potential in this film that is never met in any way. It seems to want to say something about brotherhood and the close connection these marines have to each other. For that, they have to become humans to us. That just never happens, I have played first person shooters with characters that had more humanity and depth to them than these completely interchangeable soldiers.
I know, I know, this is a movie set in Afghanistan, based on a true story,…
" That's not a knife... that's a fucking duck."
I've watched this movie at least 12 times since it's come out. I picked up a 4K copy the other day to give myself a good excuse to make it 13. Such a tragic but amazing story, Marcus Luttrell is a genuine bad ass. Marky Mark did him justice in this one.
downright repulsive war propaganda and vaunting US army advertisement. I've not seen this type of gucci gucci self-adulation in a long time, and my list of such crap of war fetishization is out there since quite a while.
brotherhood tribalism meets the dehumanization of the enemy, all of this filmed in the most fashionable and snazzy way possible (Peter Berg, go to hell!). Marky Mark does Marky Mark things (yelling at his savior f.e.), and I guess I'm also so outraged as Ben Foster and Eric Bana (and Emile Hirsch, but honestly, he's beyond help at this point in his career) shouldn't have to be in this self-aggrandizing complacency.
the "fun" of all the hassle (quaffable men jokes meet nonchalant…
