restrepo

when the guys where talking about what its like to be constantly shot at it brought the fear to life.

in the movie when they showed the reaction of the soldeir that just saw his friend die i showed how real war and fighting is. it gave me a good idea of what it would have been like when brew died in the book.

when they talked to the locels in the movie they didnt respect them that much. they didnt respect the locels in the book as well.

in the movie whene one of the guy gets a kill he dosnt fell remorce like they did in the book. he said he wish he could have seen his face when he shot him.

some of the guys in the movie didnt have much expirence in the feild of war. the book has some simalar charictures.

when they guys went into the rock slide operation they where scared in the book when they had to do patrols and other things they where also scared

the people in the movie felt a vary strong change whenever they had a friend die it connected to how the people in fallen angels reacted and handeled death.

in the barrecks they had fun and didnt think of where they where and what they where dooing they just focused on having fun. they did the same thing in the book

when they saw the aftermath of what the bombs did to a home they didnt think about the people living in the home they just wanted to find the enemy.

when it is time for the guys to go home they feel relived and happy in the book they feel the same way.
