I’m finally rewatching generation kill and I’m on ep 5 (burning dog), and fucking honestly the entire lead up to the ambush on the bridge is so tense?? It’s so fucking good?? With everything going on between the officers and the men, it’s like u can almost feel the tension dripping off them it’s crazy. And on the lead up, when they’re driving towards the bridge, the feeling steadily starts to grow on you and they achieved that feeling without a score!! they just used decent writing and solid acting to really emphasise the feeling of anxiousness and it’s so good!!
And then when it starts it’s absolute chaos. Like don’t even get me started on Colbert’s, “there’s men in the trees” line cos that shit was delivered perfectly like honestly, goosebumps every time. Plus you’ve got everything thats going on in the background—Ray and the Humvee, the patrol not being able to get out, the shooting, there’s so much going on and it’s chaos and it’s so good?? I really fucking love that scene. so so so good for so many reasons, holy shit I love it
