You guys obviously saw The Marine, right?

Question

One thing about the movie that realy bothered me besides all the senseless, ruthless killing by those jewel thieves was the beginning when he got discharged..


In the movie as you saw it at the beginning, he let his team know he was gonna make the save before those POWs got killed. If he didn't make the save, they would've got killed. What he did is "save their lives" instead of waiting for that team which would've come too late. He didn't deserve to get discharged for that. And what about being denied an "appeal" when he was getting his discharge? That was an unfair injustice, what happened to him. He deserved an appeal, and if he if didn't intervene the way he did, he wouldn't have saved their lives.


What would have happened in this scenerio in real life?
There would have a been a good defense on his part, right?



(One more thing, I think all guys should get laid before going off to war and dying instead of dying as virgins...)

Answer 1

that's hollywood for ya, anything in fiction to make a buck

Answer 2

You seriously need to understand that films never reflect real life, they are made to get backsides on seats in cinemas and generate money, if by doing that the "truth" has to be sacrificed so be it!!!

Hollywood Rules!!!

Answer 3

Oh no, the story is pure fiction. The scenario was specifically tailored for the sake of having a cool plot device. If someone disobeyed orders in the real world, there would probably be friendly casualties all over the place.

But altogether, I'd say it was a pretty bad movie.

Answer 4

Yeah, it was really tough for John Cena...I wonder if he got a medal or something...Thanks for the 2 points
