It doesn’t bother me so much that a lot of these films are dark and depressing. I love Film Noir and those are very dark and downbeat films sometimes. What bothers me is that so many modern films suck and are hostile to our military and/or culture. It’s one thing to criticize an occasional aspect of our culture, but another to beat it until it’s dead and then keep beating it.
I made the mistake of renting Jarhead thinking it was a war movie.
