"Pot cover" is often used to refer to the US Marine Corps soldiers. Every recruit will be quickly given this hairstyle after entering the army. Some people have even calculated that the average time for a skilled hairdresser to fix a pan is only 1 point. At 56 seconds, the Marine Corps regards the hair style of the lid as a symbol of military discipline and honor.
In the summer of 1990, the 20-year-old U.S. Marine Corps soldier Anthony Swarford was sent to the deserts of Saudi Arabia to prepare for the first Gulf War. In 2003, Swarford published his memoir "Guardian Tou". At the time when Swarford's novel had a sensational effect, the production partners Lucy Fisher and Doug Wick immediately bought the rights to film the adaptation of the novel.
Mendes and Bellores worked together to create the script, and after several changes in the draft, the script was finally finalized. The two removed the nonlinear narrative in Swarford's novel and focused on training and experience in the desert. (On August 14, 1990, two days after his 20th birthday, Swarford left for the battlefield. His 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Corps, was one of the first troops to arrive in the Gulf and quickly dispersed in In the desert, they immediately lurked, waiting for the battle to begin.)
