Like "American Beauty", director Sam Mendes once again uses a sarcastic tone to describe serious topics, with a deep sense of anti-war. The composition of American soldiers is relatively complex, from different races and classes. After all, very few people like Jamie Foxx love this job. Most of them are forced to do so. There are various reasons such as conflicts with the family, and of course there are also young people out of curiosity. These jarheads have no idea about the purpose of the war. After the lucky return of the Gulf did nothing, they returned to their respective lives, but the scars left by the war have long left a deep imprint in the hearts of no one, and will accompany them for life.

I really like the soundtrack of this film. It comes from the master Thomas Newman. It is very close to the style of the film. It is relaxed, ridiculing, lively, and makes people calm down and start to reflect from time to time.
