The same actor, Frank Adu, had a bit part in Taxi Driver as someone on one of its hellish streets, loudly ranting. He had a good pair of lungs. According to IMDb, he did serve in the US Marine Corps in the 1950s.

I had just joined the regular army in the summer of ‘83 and rented this movie to see on a weekend in our barracks. I remember laughing my head off, yet my fellow soldiers didn’t join me in viewing it. Three years later I’m in university and I attend a forum discussing Woody Allen, booked in our largest lecture theatre. Even though I arrived early, it was already packed and I was lucky to get a seat in the top rear row. Interesting contrast regarding who enjoys Woody’s works.

Well, yes, but this is far less about military life than it is a parody of all Russian literature. This is madcap Tolstoy. I'm sure your army buddies were not poring over Lermontov, either.

Whoever chose the music for this movie is a genius. In this clip, the music is Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kije Suite, which is awesome AND really evokes Russia. The movie also uses parts of the music for the film “Alexander Nevsky” (also by Prokofiev - I think).

The film is spoof on War and Peace from Tolstoy. This is the most important part of the book. The main character, Pierre Bezukhov, inherited a great deal of money. But it didn't bring him happiness. The passage is when he tells someone that he is miserable and then the man says to him. "I have heard of you. Look at your life my dear Sir. How have you spent it? In riotous orgies and debauchery, receiving everything from society and giving nothing in return. You have become the possessor of wealth. Have you ever thought of your tens of thousand of slaves? You have profited by their toil to lead a profligate life. You have thrust your wife into an abyss of deceit and misery. A man offended you and you smote him and you say you not know God and hate your life. There is nothing strange in that my dear Sir." And then the man does a 180 and changes his life.

So much about the military is funny. I was constantly biting my cheek to keep from laughing when I was in basic training. One recruit got in trouble and a couple of us were discussing the punishment. The drill sergeants always had to be over-the-top when they responded to stuff. Someone said, “I wonder what they’ll dream up for punishment?” Later, the drill sergeants had us in a meeting and one drill sergeant said “I’m going to dream up some punishment.” Me and the other guy started to giggle but I was able to choke my giggle off first. Now the drill sergeant was really mad when he heard giggles at the threat of punishment.
