Why are dialogues of 'realistic' war movies always so fucking terrible?
They always try to write every single soldier as a dumb jock, but the dorky screenwriters are terrible at writing dialogue for characters like this, and the actors are rarely able to play them well.
And I hate when they try to be deep talking about the experience of war. It becomes pretty obvious that the writers have never even bothered talking to real soldiers, or reading their memoirs/diaries, etc.

It wasn't like that in The Pacific and everyone always shits on it here.

your thread is dumb

Because ww2 films are a hollywood genre with it's own conventions. That's one of them.

That's true to most war movies though, not only those set in ww2. Watch anything about Iraq for example.
Being in the military and around those kinds of people will most likely give you the dumb jock demeanor.

Soldiers in civilian life and memoirs are nothing like soldiers in service.

Have you been in the Army?
Infantry platoons HAVE THESE STEREOTYPES.
They exist for a reason.
The reason they all talk the same is because you learn to talk again after you hit the Fleet. Marines understand, you're basically a robot your first day

>pic related is actually based on a book that's written following the memoirs of the members of that squad
>in fact, during filming some squad members were still alive and were consulted, you can see documentary snippets with them in episodes
You're just pretending, right?
