Synopsis:
This transforms JARHEAD into a more traditional movie form. The climax is particularly more climatic in this version.

Intentions:
Jarhead is an exceptional movie. I personally consider it the best war movie of all time for an assortment of reasons. One of the reasons why I call it exceptional is because it does not follow the usual movie storyline pattern. Usually movies start with act 1, in which we are introduced to the characters, their motives and so forth. The second act is all about character development and the characters going on about their journey/s. The third act contains a climax and a conclusion. In Jarhead however, the second act doesn’t contain a journey, it’s more of a stand-still. The third act on the other hand still has character development, more so than the second act, and the climax is somewhat fulfilling. I wanted to modify this film into the traditional movie form.
