71. "Biloxi Blues" (1988)

World War II Movie Night goes back to the comedy well with Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues" a 1988 movie based on his play of the same name. Matthew Broderick is Jerome, a young Jewish man from Brooklyn who couldn't be more out of his element at boot camp in Mississippi. Will he fulfill his wish to lose his virginity? Will he ever shake the scrutiny of the sadistic drill sergeant (Christopher Walken)? We won't learn much about the war tonight, but we will try to have some fun, so sit back and enjoy... Asides include the concept of age-appropriateness in the 80s, Vietnam movies, the novels of Dostoevsky, and Ferris Bueller's treatment of minorities.
