a war

Shyann 2022-03-20 09:01:26

What is war? A stage for politicians to wrestle? The dollar in the eyes of arms dealers? Pulitzer trophies for journalists?
For potheads, that's part of their lives, where they've held their rifles, peered into the world through sniper scopes, masturbated to posters or photos, and used to be nervous.

When returning from the battlefield, only they remember everything. That damn war, have I fired a shot? Oh yes, at the bonfire at the end of the retirement.

(Sam Mendes' film is really unique in tm)
