’Jarhead’ gets its war on with Mendes’ top style

Battle scenes are the bread and butter of a typical war film, lending gritty authenticity as well as differentiating it from similar films. Compare and contrast the chaotic jungle combat of 'Platoon' with the thoroughly unsettling Russian roulette sequences in 'The Deer Hunter' or the sweeping, Wagner-scored helicopter raid in 'Apocalypse Now' to see how differently Vietnam was interpreted by three maverick directors.
