Movie 2011.04.21 - Ears, Open. Eyeballs, Click.

Definitely having mixed feelings after watching this movie. Call it a documentary, but you never hear the background commentary. From start to finish, it's just the camera recording what goes on in a military training camp. Morning till night, the officers shout at the recruits non-stop. Just watching their daily routine is so stressful, I don't think I'll survive a day. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them goes amok and does something crazy. Bath time, meal time, training time, cleaning time, prayer time - the recruits are being shouted at, manhandled, threatened, insulted, abused. Makes me wonder whether what the COs are doing are legal or not. Maybe that's how it's done to toughen up the newbs. Maybe it's just a necessary evil.
