Courage, courage, honor and fortitude - these qualities are not inherent in everyone. But they are simply obliged to be with every marine. The article will present a list of films about the Marines. There will be only five pictures, but each definitely deserves attention.
The Three Kings
Films about marines are often associated with real dates and events. Finally, the Persian Gulf War is over. Iraqi waxes are allotted, Kuwait is completely liberated, the Americans celebrate the victory and prepare to return home. Except for four marines. An unusual map fell into their hands, showing the location of Saddam Hussein's vault. Having taken the equipment, they decide to check it.
Maybe not right away, but they find a secret bunker. He is well guarded, but it was worth it. Inside are several suitcases with expensive watches, jewelry and gold bars. This is enough to swim in luxury on a citizen for the rest of her life. But the Marines simply cannot take and leave. They get involved in the conflict between the rebels and the remnants of the Iraqi army. Such a decision would cost them dearly.
“A few good guys”
Movies about marines are not necessarily related to military action. Much is happening on the territory of the unit itself. In the film "A few good guys" events have already occurred at the Guantanamo military base. Two privates are accused of severe torture and the subsequent murder of a colleague. The case is handled by a young lawyer, Daniel Caffey. He is a good lawyer, but usually does not go beyond prosecution deals. And this time I’m ready to persuade my clients for 12 years in prison.
But before that, he decides once again to double-check everything. To do this, the lawyer goes to the part where the deceased served, conducts an investigation and understands that the case is not as obvious as it seems at first glance. The defendants, of course, are guilty of a crime, but they did not do so of their own free will. So this time, Caffey decided to go all the way and find out who was behind it.
"Full Metal Jacket"
Other films about the marines talk about the ordeals of soldiers even before they find themselves in war. This training camp for training new recruits turned out to be a creepy place. Under the guidance of a strict but experienced sergeant Hartman, the guys are subjected to psychological pressure every day, exhausting march-throws and spend several hours at shooting ranges. The problem is that not everyone can withstand such tests.
In general, service is not easy for new recruits. Someone will eventually break, and someone will become stronger. It might seem that Sergeant Hartman is too strict with his wards. That, creating harsh conditions, he makes cold-blooded killers out of ordinary guys. But so far only he understands that the training will end soon, and the guys will have to face all the horrors of a real war.
22 minutes
Noteworthy are domestic films about the marines. Russian soldiers are no worse at coping with combat missions. In the film “22 minutes”, the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Krylov receives an alarm signal from the Yamal tanker following the Gulf of Aden that an armed capture was carried out. The crew of the tanker managed to de-energize the ship and close in the tiller compartment. Now their task is to hold out until help arrives.
The command of "Admiral Krylov" reacts quickly. A marine detachment is sent to the tanker, but, having been fired upon, loses one of its fighters. Alexander Yezhov does not die, but is captured by pirates. He is still alive only because the enemy expects that he can persuade the crew to surrender.
The Mystery of the Wolf's Maw
Finishing to describe films about the Russian marines, you should stop at the picture "The Secret of the Wolf's Maw". It tells about a twelve-year-old boy, Vita Olushev, who, along with his parents, arrived in the garrison of the Marine Corps. His father, a specialist in the fight against terrorism, came to train new recruits, and his mother, the captain of the medical service, came to provide them psychological support. But the main events are related to their son.
Vita will have to get used to the new environment for a long time, meet her first love and make new friends. He will face many troubles, starting with skirmishes with bandits and ending with real terrorists. But he has no other choice; Vita will have to go through this school of life.
By the way, feature films about marines are not shot very often. In this regard, foreign paintings prevail. But this drawback can be compensated even by a couple of domestic TV shows.
