Jarhead is the debut feature film of writer/director Sebastian Junger, based on his experiences as a U.S. Marine infantryman in the 1991 Gulf War. The film includes two English-language options - an uncompressed original theatrical aspect ratio transfer and a 5. 1 surround DTS mix - as well as English, French, and Spanish subtitles. Junger's first reported experience with the U.S. Marine Corps came at age 16, when he was passed over for a recruitment appointment because of his asthma. Seven years later, after graduating college, Junger opted to join the Marines because of "a desire to prove myself to my father by joining the toughest branch of the military". That initial exposure was not positive; he described it as "the worst experience of my life". Junger completed training in November 1990 and joined 3rd Battalion 1st Marines out of Camp Pendleton. Junger's experiences of the First Persian Gulf War were later documented in 1997 in "The New York Times Magazine" article "Into The Desert". That article, upon which the film is based, was expanded into a best-selling book of the same name co-authored with journalist Mark Boal. The screenplay for the film was developed by Boal with Junger over five years. By 2003, however, it had morphed into its final form as an independently financed major motion picture directed by Junger and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx. Bigelow provided advice on battle scenes but opted to direct 2005's "The Hurt Locker" instead of this project. Junger and Boal wrote an additional screenplay based on their experiences in the First Persian Gulf War. This script was not deemed "essential" for the final release, and Junger spends the bulk of his screen time describing his experience as a Marine recruit instead. The film's original title was "Jarhead". It has been reported that the filmmakers considered calling it another name or referring to themselves as such, such as "Sandstormers" (the title of one of their previous films set during Desert Storm), but they decided against attempting to trademark anything that word-like; they figured it would already be taken by other films and/or people and couldn't be used anyway. The film's script was never intended to be made into a feature film. It was written as an article for "The New York Times Magazine", which it became in 1997, with the title "Into the Desert". A book of the same name, co-authored by journalist Mark Boal, followed in 1998. This book became the basis for the screenplay that followed. Both versions were made available on Junger's website (www.sebastianjunger.com) and later republished as an e-book under the title "Jarhead: A Marine at War". cfa1e77820
