Again, i feel it is a hard time for me to watch this black & white movie which makes me feel sleepy. The movie started with the fighting scene, i knew already since it's the movie about WW II. But anyways i will try to catch as much American culture as i can. Like any others movie that i had saw even in the world war period the party is the thing that still survive and American man still be polite. there 's one scene that i saw and really wonder which is the scene that the woman spread some kind of cream to the man. it would be better if this movie is colored because i really want to know that what is it. Nurse is for the girl only in that period also men are soldier absolutely. They all are good soldier they practice and have high responsibility and i think finally Mary must fall in love with the guy Chris^^.
This time i think America was very civilize since the war did not happen on the land only, it happened in the sea also. This was what i think since i hear at the beginning of the movie. cause i heard "Marine Corps". The truth is i feel empty when talking about WW II or any kind of history because i'm very bad about it. All i know is American is a powerful country with more people and weapons and i think for ordinary people in that period soldiers are sdorable.

This is one of those gungho, ra ra rah Marine movies. It was done during the time of World War II if I am not mistaken. Did you see the date of the movie? If it was made before 1945, it was made to lift the spirits of the troops and of Americans. Several of these kinds of movies were made and were watched overseas to give a boost to American fighting men.
Good blogging.
Yep, just as I thought. I went to the IMDB website to find out when this movie was made - 1942.
The reason for the movie was to recruit people for the marines. Watch enough of these war movies and you can tell right away which ones were made during the war for morale and recruiting. Some are pretty cheesy (we also call them corny) while others are interesting to see what techniques were used to get men to sign up. These movies also are great for culture classes like this because American "good" cultural traits are always emphasized. What traits did you see emphasized in this movie?
Keep on blogging.
