Gunner Palace

Still trying to figure out how much I liked this film. It goes against most everything we're taught at USC, and yet it's more compelling than any documentary I've seen since Fog of War and Salesman. The two best thing are that I think the film was made by a single guy, Michael Tucker....and his voice over, Herzog-like in it's poetic sense. I also found it fascinating how much the soldiers played music or rapped. Very interesting, reminding me of James Jones' From Here to Eternity. I want to write more about this film....
