My only complaint about this movie is the really out of place joke where everyone throws themselves on the grenade at once and everyone gets killed except Conner. It totally ruins the tone of the film.
You know if you make these threads too often the joke gets stale, right? Not every meme has the staying power of bane

This was the purest kino I've ever seen and my favorite war movie to this day. Reminds me of the old Tim O'Brien quote:
“A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.”

They came back to life in the next scene. The point of the grenade scene was to show how PTSD had caused him to become completely detached from reality to the point that he kept slipping into fantasies. If you notice, those grenades are actually all tennis balls like the kind he was playing with at the start of the film.
I liked it when he ripped the terrorists throat out.

I hate metaposting as much as any other faggot, but at least wait a few days so the jokes at least feel fresher.
Leave Dogkino to me

The bathtub signifies depression. Pudsey's owners are, in a way, life. They just keep throwing him in there. It's sort of a failed moses deal. Dog tries to free his enslaved brothers and sisters, but they're no match for the superiority of humans. He can't communicate effectively enough to coordinate a successful escape. The dogs look to him for guidance, but as he looks towards the sky and calls for help from above he realizes nothing and nobody is up there. The humans take him and make a mockery of baptism and near-drown him so he learns his lesson. It's the director's way of showing that religion cannot always be counted upon for hope, but is a guaranteed amplifier of sorrow and suffering. Truly groundbreaking work. I also liked great kibble caper scene in the last half
