True to the Marines. on a personal level.
Before some one comments on this mini-series they have to understand that is based entirely in truth. I first picked up the book while I was traveling home on leave shortly after returning from Iraq and read it in one sitting on the plane. One of the things that I find to be the most outstanding about the book and the series so far is that it is true to the people. I don’t mean that it gives us something new and authentic to ponder. I can’t think of any instance where the book or show goes into the political aspect of Iraq. And you know why. Because Marines don’t make policy. They enforce it, regardless of there personal feelings towards it.I am personally tired of hearing the comments about the show being cliché’ If they spend anytime around the military they will find that most of characters portrayed are just like the young men serving. Marines are a different breed. They are asked to do different things that most of society would not understand. Enjoy the show and try not to get your mind wrapped around it to much.
Believable but unengaging
As a believable portrait of what it was really like to fight in the last Iraq war, ‘Generation Kill’ hits the target; yet as devotee of writer David Simon’s brilliant previous series, ‘The Wire’, I have to say that in contrast, it left me feeling a little underwhelmed. Partly it may just be that the Marines who comprise its leading characters are a little less varied (and therefore interesting) than the people of Baltimore; each one is individually cast, but there’s a sense of a common mould which probably reflects real-life recruitment but which also gives the series a mono-tonal air. Another issue is that there isn’t much of a story. Thankfully, the liberal Simon eschews a “glorious march to victory” narrative, but in its place, there are just a lot of scenes of marines advancing, sometimes bravely, sometimes boredly, sometimes badly, without a clear sight of the broader picture but with growing a growing sense of unease that it makes no sense. Again, this may be both accurate, and the specific point that Simon wanted to make; but it’s hard to tell a story without a narrative of some sort, and even many of the specific incidents that could be told in complete form are instead sampled. Too often, we see men engaged in a threatening mission, then there’s a clean cut to the next day, back at base, where they talk about their escape. This leaves the emphasis more on the macho male banter than the nominal action. It could just be that to this viewer (at least as liberal as Simon himself), there’s simply no news here – the drama doesn’t tells me much about the U.S. Marines, or the war in Iraq, that I didn’t already suspect. Or at least, it doesn’t quite tell me enough to justify over seven hours of TV, even though it’s well-made and serious. ‘The Wire’ eventually justified its 60-odd hours; ‘Generation Kill’, however, might have been better as two than seven.
