Oh yes. The romance, the pathos. I especially liked the love scene between Sgt. Hartman and Pvt Pyle:
Hartman: Now you listen to me, Private Pyle, and, yor listen good. I want that weapon, and I want it now!
You will place that rifle on the deck at your feet and step back away from it.With a twisted smile on his face Pyle points his rifle at Hartman.
Hartman looks suddenly calm, his eyes, his manner are those of a wanderer who has found his home.
Hartman: What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?!!
Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when your were a child?!!!BANG!!
The round hits Hartman in the chest.
He falls back dead.
Why the love in Sgt. Hartman's eyes as he falls back is just wonderful. Such love! A true romance, right up to the end!
