Star Wars: The Last Jedi Teaser Breakdown. There has been another awakening: the first teaser for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has arrived. Unveiled by director Rian Johnson at the end of the Celebration panel for Episode VIII, the first proper look at 2. Watch the Force-ful Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi Trailer.![]() ![]() Star Wars release has stopped the internet in its tracks and has just about everyone – from padawan to Master – theorizing about what we can expect on December 1. The trailer is focused heavily on the Force- side of the movie, spending its first half showing Luke and Rey’s spiritual interaction, before giving a little taste of what to expect from the First Order/Resistance conflict. While the trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has confirmed what Rey will be doing for a large part of the new movie, a lot is still unknown about John Boyega's Finn. In this installment of The Star Wars Show, Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson catches up with Hamilton and Grease Live! Cast and crew information, synopsis, and comments. ![]() ![]() Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, marketed as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is the. Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Episode VIII's release date, cast, Carrie Fisher's role and what we know so far. The latest news after the teaser dropped at the Star Wars. After much speculation, we now know that the title for Star Wars: The Last Jedi is referring to multiple individuals. Directed by Rian Johnson. With Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher. Having taken her first steps into a larger world in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Like The Force Awakens. Let’s break it down. Rey In Shock. Before the Lucasfilm logo, we get Rey collapsing on the Ahch- To rock and gasping for air. She’s wearing the exact same getup we saw her in at the end of The Force Awakens, but it looks like she’ll be wearing this through the film’s first act so it’s no real indication of when exactly this takes place. Her shock appears to be more than just physical exhaustion, with Ridley conveying a sense of worry, which would suggest she’s just experienced something extreme – possibly a Force vision. The reaction is reminiscent of the moment when she first picked up the lightsaber in Maz Kanata’s castle, and also hearkens back to Luke’s experience to the cave on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back (to which this is likely a rhyme). ![]() It’s worth noting the parallels to the previous film. Once again we open with what appears to be a starfield, which is then revealed to be a planet, just like The Force Awakens. It’s also rather neat that the trailer begins with a hand since Episode VII was originally set to open with Luke’s severed limb from Empire floating through space. Luke’s Words“Breathe. Just breathe. What do you see?”To make up for his complete silence and brief screen time in The Force Awakens, the very first words we hear from The Last Jedi are Luke Skywalker’s. While in the panel itself Daisy Ridley suggested that Rey and Luke’s meeting wouldn’t go quite as she expected, it’s clear that the pair will eventually form a Master/Apprentice bond, with Skywalker training up his new ward. The overall feel of Luke’s lines – both as written, and with Hamill’s delivery – is evocative of Yoda’s training in The Empire Strikes Back. This creates a nice parallel to the previous trilogy, but they hone in on one particular aspect: visions. Ahch- To. As already mentioned, the first portion of this trailer takes place on Ahch- To, the rocky water world first seen at the end of The Force Awakens. The site of Luke’s self- imposed exile, it would appear that this is – as Han Solo theorized – the site of the first Jedi Temple, with Luke going back to the Order’s origins after Ben Solo burnt down his attempt to rebuild it. The planet was only in one scene in The Force Awakens but will be a major setting in The Last Jedi. The trailer features several new aspects of the planet, including new angles of the central island (Ireland’s Skellig Michael), and what may actually be that much- discussed first temple. Rey’s Training. Rey was shown in The Force Awakens to already have a strong affinity with the Force – invading Kylo Ren’s thoughts, mind- tricking Daniel Craig’s Stormtrooper, and holding her own in a lightsaber duel – but she still has much to learn, especially on the more ethereal side. The first half of the teaser is built around her learning to “see” with the Force, becoming one with it and tapping into her full potential. These are all aspects of the Star Wars mythos that Disney has been expanding recently, and will no doubt play a major role in the film. At this point of the breakdown, it’s worth highlighting some of what Rian Johnson has brought to the film visually. While he – like J. J. Abrams before him – has surely stuck close to the traditional Star Wars style, there is evidence of some very creative shots, especially when it comes to the use of perspective. Leia On A Resistance Ship. After the Ahch- To opening, the trailer moves into the wider galaxy. First we get a behind shot of Leia aboard a Resistance cruiser monitoring various star- charts. This is all we see of the General in the trailer, although but you can get a better look at her new costume in behind- the- scenes photos from the 4. Anniversary and The Last Jedi panels. Little was shown of the Resistance in the previous film – just their D’Qar base (which we’ll discuss more later) and small X- Wing force – but across this trailer we get teases of their true strength, with the rebel group moving into space. Kylo Ren’s Mask. Next up is a slow zoom on Kylo Ren’s The Force Awakens mask – smashed and smoking (you can make out his voice modulator in the faceplate). The helmet was last seen in Episode VII when Ben Solo removed it on the bridge to confront his father, and was presumed lost in the destruction of Starkiller Base, although this suggests that it was recovered along with Kylo himself (either that or a replacement has likewise been smashed). It could also be an abstract image from Rey’s vision. Whatever the case, it’s a striking image that hammers home how memorable a villain Kylo has already become. Furthermore, the damaged mask feels like a reference to Vader’s charred helmet in The Force Awakens, a visual reference for how – now he’s killed Han – Ben is now on the same level of evil as his grandfather. The Importance of Balance. As already alluded to, the first half of the trailer – at least on a dialogue side – is Luke guiding Rey through the Force. In response to his “What do you see?”, she says “Light. A balance.”Again, in light homage to Empire, we’re seeing an expansion of how we perceive the Force – and in this case a very important one. The notion of balance in the Force was first introduced in The Phantom Menace and remained a strong theme throughout the prequels. While much of that trilogy has been skirted around in the new era, this concept remained – at the start of The Force Awakens, Lor San Tekka stated “Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force”. With Rey now personally experiencing this, it seems that The Last Jedi will finally explain what that balance really means. Based on Luke’s later words, it likely won’t be a good thing for the Jedi. The Jedi Tree. We don’t get to see exactly what the first Jedi Temple looks like in the teaser trailer, although there is what appears to be part of it. After Leia and Kylo, we see a cavern made up of a tree and a stone bookshelf holding eight worn volumes (held in place by rock bookends). What’s most interesting here by a parsec is the tree, which may be the source of the Temple’s power. In Shattered Empire, a comic sequel to Return of the Jedi, Luke discovered that the Jedi Temple on Coruscant housed a special tree with undefined Force abilities. He sent one to be planted on Yavin IV, but kept the other for himself, presumably to build his own Temple. This may be what we’re seeing here, but what’s more likely is that Luke used this for his ill- fated Academy and what we’ve got here is the original tree from which the Coruscant one was cut. The Journal of the Whills. Getting back to the books, we then get a close- up of one that’s of major Star Wars importance. Held together simply with string and featuring hand- written Aurbebesh notes, this is the movie introduction of an essential part of the franchise’s mythology: this appears to be the Journal of the Whills (at least based on the real world novel on the topic). Journal of the Whills was the working title of the original Star Wars, with George Lucas planning for the saga to be a long ago tale told through this ancient tome. It was loosely canonized, intended at one point to be based on R2’s centuries- later ramblings, but is now being worked into the bigger story. We already got religious group the Guardians of the Whills in Rogue One, so this book seems to be taking the next step and introducing the order proper. How this will work depends on how deep into the past Johnson is going, but it chimes with the bigger idea of exploring the Jedi origins. The book also shows a simplification the lore. In the prequel trilogy, the extent of all Jedi knowledge was shown, with the Coruscant temple housing massive hologram libraries and computers documenting all of the known galaxy. However, it seems the core of the order can be distilled down into a single digit amount of books. Speaking of prequel elements, even if this isn’t the Journal, a core visual part of that trilogy still makes an appearance in the trailer: the Jedi logo. First designed for The Phantom Menace, the glistening lightsaber flanked by two wings (foreshadowing of the Rebellion’s logo in the original trilogy) appears on the cover of the book. Luke’s Glove. The book in questions appears to be being read by Luke – although the trailer editing suggests Rey, the person reading it is wearing a glove, pointing towards Skywalker’s cyborg hand. When we saw Luke at the end of The Force Awakens, he had his robot right hand free, but it makes sense that he would want to keep it covered some of the time. Instead of the simple black he used when his flesh- covered prosthetic was damaged in Return of the Jedi, here he’s got what appears to be brown leather, something subtly in- keeping with Jedi- style. The Force Voices – Leia, Obi- Wan and Yoda. Very faintly in the background of these previous shots, you can make out audio from across the original trilogy: over the Resistance ship there’s Leia’s “Help me, Obi- Wan Kenobi; for Kylo Ren’s mask Obi- Wan’s explanation of Vader’s turn for A New Hope, “. There’s also Vader’s breathing over Kylo’s mask. These each help contextualize the shots – who we’re seeing, what happened to Kylo and the philosophy of the Jedi respectively – but also helps frame the trailer as part of Rey’s vision and suggests the movie itself will be delving a little more into the past (or at least using it as a learning point).

Director David Ayer (Fury) Suicide Squad structured the film as a music video, in which each character is introduced with a different song. While the idea might look original on paper, because ultimately Suicide Squad is a great pop extravaganza, with larger than life exaggerated characters, the tone of the film looks fragmented, without it clear to the viewer who is watching a one and the same story.

It is noteworthy that being a comic Suicide Squad with interesting arguments, in which its members are betrayed and face real- world enemies as drug cartels and terrorists, Suicide Squad – the film – has resorted to a villain so little interesting and clich. The action scenes lack a sense of space or logic. They are indiscriminate blows and blows, they do never fear for the lives of the protagonists, with nothing original choreography of combat. We can pretty much assume that Avengers: Infinity War and the fourth Avengers film will kill off one or more superheroes. Obviously Joe Russo, who co-directs both. The official Justice League trailer showed more than fans could ever catch, so we're breaking down every detail. Just look Deadpool, and Captain America: Civil War, both from 2. Suicide Squad has moments that are enjoyed but, lacking a more organic screenplay, best choreographed action scenes and memorable villain, makes the viewer the feeling that might be better. One final thing: it’s worth staying to see the end credits, which are a marvel of design, and wait an additional scene that is inserted in the middle of the titles. Even before its premiere “Suicide Squad” has given much to talk about, first caused great excitement because of its cast and the villains now be heroes, then came the criticism, then tactics fans defend ribbon, words of producer to protect their work and to Jared Leto statements. And now it has leaked one of the deleted scenes of this film. In the scene that has just been revealed, the “Joker” assaults “Harley Quinn” and although the story between the two characters has always been violent, now there have been many criticisms about why the film makes the girls look up to a submissive and abused women. It is not yet know the reason why Warner Bros. There could be a possibility that this scene and many more are part of the extended version, which will be released in the Blue Ray and DVD of Suicide Squad. In fact, during an interview with the French chain Telestar, Jared Leto explained that many scenes in which the “Joker” appears not reached the final version of the film, and hopes to do so in the future. Hopefully, someday will be. Who knows.”has not been given an explanation of why the scenes were removed, although it is speculated that it was because of the constant abuse by the “Joker” to “Harley Quinn” which in reality has always been that way from the comics, however there are others who they say it is for the sale of the extended version on Blu Ray and DVD. The character of Jared Leto was one of the most anticipated of “Suicide Squad”, though some critics have pointed out that “The Joker” too long is not on the tape, about 1.

It’s no secret that this year’s Blade Runner sequel, titled Blade Runner 2. Hollywood in years. Not only is the cult classic’s story getting extended and we’re able to re- enter its futuristic world once again, but it’s a who’s who of cast and crew that would have us excited even if it wasn’t the return of one of our favorite sci- fi films. Director- of- the- moment Denis Villeneuve is at the helm, with last year’s Arrival cementing him as the current king of sci- fi, while the original’s director, Ridley Scott, is on board to produce, lending an authentic voice to the work. Harrison Ford is back as Rick Deckard, while Ryan Gosling joins as LAPD Officer K, who appears to be leading the film’s narrative. All in all there is a lot to be excited about – the film offers strong ties to the original material but also a hearty dose of freshness. It’s basically the best of both worlds and a rare opportunity where Hollywood can exercise how to revive older material well. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, the film looks incredible but only time will tell if it’s a success. To get you up to speed, read on for everything you need to know about the upcoming sequel. When does it arrive? We’re still a little while off Blade Runner 2. The film’s fall release means it’s well clear of the summer blockbuster release schedule (read: brainless popcorn flicks with explosions) and more in the realm of awards season hopefuls. Which judging by said trailer, could well make it a shoe in for a whole range of categories – including Best Cinematography, thanks to Roger Deakins’ stunning vision. ![]() How does it relate to the original? Plot points are scarce but that makes it even more exciting. What we do know is that the film is set in 2. Gosling’s Officer K unearthing something shady that could bring about the end of humanity. He finds Ford’s Deckard, a blade runner who has been hiding out that whole time, and that’s it. Nothing else has been revealed, however the first full trailer did bring to light a few things: the looming Tyrell Corporation building at the beginning; Jared Leto creating replicants while eerily stating “Every civilisation was built off the back of a disposable work force – but I can only make so many,” suggesting he will be the film’s villain; replicants being held in glass boxes for the first time; two new and as yet unnamed characters played by Mackenzie Davis and Dave Bautista; Robin Wright as Officer K’s boss; and replicant and K’s love interest Joi, played by Ana de Armas, suggesting a possible parallel story with the original. Another nod to the first film which has fans in a frenzy is when Gosling’s K says to Ford’s Deckard “I have some questions,” teasing that the sequel might finally answer one of the original’s lingering mysteries. But that’s all we really know. The book that the original is loosely based on, Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? ![]() Jeter, and released long after the original book and over a decade after the movie. It’s unclear if Blade Runner 2. Rick Deckard. New and returning cast & crew. Harrison Ford is reprising his role as Rick Deckard alongside Ryan Gosling’s younger Officer K. Besides Deckard, the only other returning character (that we know) is Edward James Olmos’ Gaff, while a host of new names are on board including Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista and Mackenzie Davis. On the crew side of things, Villeneuve takes over directing duties from Ridley Scott, who is on board as a producer, meaning that things won’t stray too far off course, but we won’t end up in a George Lucas scenario either (thankfully). ![]() Movies Ryan Gosling Broods, Faces Off Against Harrison Ford in Thrilling, Neon-Lit 'Blade Runner 2049' Trailer. Will Blade Runner 2049 Solve the Most Heated Debate in Sci-Fi? Directors Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve are giving conflicting answers about the character of Rick. Superman gets a mustache in a fan-made Batman V Superman video produced in response to reports about Justice League reshoots and Henry Cavill. Blade Runner is a 1982 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. It's always seemed like one of those movies that just didn't. The one role we are happy is staying the same (besides Ford’s) is that writer Hampton Fancher is back, this time partnering with Michael Green, whose credits include Alien: Covenant, Logan, and the upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. Suffice to say, things are already looking good. Roger Deakins, mister 1. Oscar- nominations- but- never- a- win heads up cinematography, explaining why those trailer visuals look so lush.

Which brings us to. But if anyone is up to the task it’s likely the Icelandic composer, with his collaborative success with Villeneuve already proven itself, especially in last year’s stunning Arrival score. This week’s trailer teased a few incredible minutes of music and sound design, making us even more eager for what could be an incredible score that holds the original material close to heart. And that’s all we can ask for. What else? It’s still early days and no doubt the summer will only bring more leaks and trailers, which we’ll keep you updated on as anything rolls in.

Played masterfully by Kate Mara, Leavey is an aimless young woman who leaves a dead- end daycare job, deadbeat mom Jackie (Edie Falco), and life behind to join the Marines. Despite the discipline instilled, she still finds ways of returning to her old self, including one drunken night in which public urination lands her a reassignment to the K9 unit under the command of Gunny Martin (Common), the kind of tough love commander who tells it like it is while providing mentorship to those that ask. After some time in the kennel, Leavey aspires to work her way up to a handler, overseeing the stubborn canine Rex at Camp Pendleton in California. Leavey is told early on by a boss that she’s not quite a people person and, although she seems to be well- liked by her unit, she never quite bonds with anyone like Rex — that includes a love interest Morales (Ramon Rodriguez), a fellow handler from New York who she meets in Iraq while on tour. Exploring the emotional bonds between animal and human, the narrative feature debut of documentary filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish) is an engaging drama that doesn’t set out to address questions of sexism in the armed forces. Leavey is simply there to do her job amongst other strong women of tremendous will, and the film celebrates their accomplishments even if it glosses over the brutality of war. An inspiring PG- 1. Leavey justice in the wake of two incidents that earn her a Purple Heart. Working from a screenplay by Pamela Gray, Annie Mumolo, and Tim Lovestedt, Megan Leavey is, in passages, narratively efficient as it celebrates the work and bravery of handlers and their dogs who go to great lengths to detect explosives. While the film is full of small triumphs and restraint in its matter- of- fact approach that veers away from big speeches and profound melodrama, it’s not without its tender emotional moments. Leavey seems like a reluctant subject for a biopic and Cowperthwaite resists turning the story into a pumped- up war picture like American Sniper. Rather, it is set in a fairly traditional mold that is not nearly as narratively sparse as one of the greatest films about a women and her dog, Kelly Reichardt’s masterpiece Wendy and Lucy.

While the majority of the film focuses on bonds built in combat, humanizing warriors both human and K9, the most well- known portion of Leavey’s story is found in the third act. ![]() This last section explores PTSD and re- entry as Leavey returns home and finds herself at odds with her mother. It’s treated as a fact and major plot point which may or not be emotionally dishonest. I suspect it’s influenced by the parts that Megan Leavey chooses to represent and omit when telling her life story, a right that appears to be respected by Cowperthwaite, whose previous works required documentary proof. It is this honesty and respect for privacy though that leads to certain characters feeling a bit underdeveloped, including Leavey’s father Bob (Bradley Whitford) and love interest Morales, while Leavey’s interesting and painful early life is somewhat glossed over. Megan Leavey is an ambitious, yet restrained drama that celebrates the military while refusing to punch up the melodrama and action as an aggressive male filmmaker may have. The film celebrates warriors of all species, providing a subtle pro- military message that’s free from the rousing pomp one comes to expect from the genre. Megan Leavey screened at the 2.

But Is It 'Stolen Valor'? The most moving scene in Megan Leavey, Hollywood’s latest big- budget war drama, doesn’t take place in the desert, or on the bomb- cratered streets of Ramadi, but rather in a quiet neighborhood in upstate New York. The film’s title character, played by Kate Mara, wakes up in the middle of the night to a loud, wailing sound coming from outside her bedroom window. She’s just returned from Iraq. Half- awake, she stumbles into the yard, where she sees her father walking towards his car. Her father, confused, tells her the noise is just a car alarm. It takes a moment for Leavey to realize where she is, and that nothing is about to explode. All of the drama unfolds on her face. And that’s it. I imagine many combat vets will watch that scene, and think: I’ve been there. At least I did. Few films have managed to better capture what it feels like to have just come home from war, before the brain has had time to adjust, and the whole world still feels combustible. While some aspects of Megan Leavey smack of Hollywood’s overzealous touch, for the most part it registers, at least to this Army veteran, as authentic. That was the filmmaker’s intent: The picture has been aggressively marketed as being based on a “true life story,” and Megan Leavey — the real Megan Leavey — has played a prominent role in the promotion of the film, appearing in numerous interviews pegged to its release. But is Megan Leavey a true story? Not exactly. Hollywood isn’t in the business of telling true stories — they’re trying to tell great stories, the kind that make you cry into your popcorn, the kind that win Golden Globes and Oscars, the kind that open. The military, on the other hand, favors the opposite approach, going to great lengths to ensure that whatever happens in war is thoroughly documented — in awards citations, and after- action reports, and official unit histories — so that service members can be sure that the sacrifices they make, or are willing to make, in combat won’t be misplaced or forgotten. Megan Leavey was met with a warm reception when it premiered on June 9. It currently boasts a respectable 8. Rotten Tomatoes, and Roger. Ebert. com gave it 3. The Hollywood Reporter called it “affectingly unvarnished,” while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote, “Based on a true story (no, really!), this war drama deftly sidesteps the paths that suck you down in sentimental quicksand.” Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite (best known for her critically acclaimed documentary, Blackfish), Megan Leavey is the story of a female Marine dog- handler who deploys to Iraq with her ornery bomb- sniffing German Shepherd, Rex. After the two are wounded by an improvised explosive device, a traumatized Leavey returns home, where she spends years fighting to adopt Rex from the Corps. It’s one of the few major war films to feature a female lead, and the first to explore the dangerous work of military dog- handlers, who have played a crucial role in Iraq and Afghanistan, where IEDs pose the biggest threat to coalition troops.“I was charged with the responsibility of depicting Megan’s experience of what happened,” Cowperthwaite said in a recent phone interview with Task & Purpose. That said, she expressed annoyance over her inability to tell Leavey’s story in full, noting, “She did two tours, and we only depict one, and that will always frustrate me. But we are making a narrative Hollywood movie.” Coperthwaite isn’t the only person frustrated by Megan Leavey. Several members of Leavey’s unit have gone public with claims that call into question various key aspects of the film. About nine months ago, after production had wrapped, someone leaked a draft of the script to a handful of Marine veterans who served with the real- life Leavey in the K- 9 unit at Camp Pendleton in California. Some of those Marines were appalled by what they read — so much so that four drafted impassioned letters to the filmmakers, alleging, in exhaustive detail, numerous discrepancies they argued amounted to “stolen valor” and requesting certain key plot points and character descriptions be either altered or removed. The problem is that Leavey did not tell her story. She told others’ stories, and staked the claim to them.”Kate Mara stars as Megan Leavey in Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s MEGAN LEAVEY, a Bleecker Street release. The most vociferous complaints tend to revolve around the film’s depiction of Leavey’s dog, Rex. In the film, Rex has the temperament of a starving wolf, and Leavey is assigned to work with him after he bites his previous handler. This is essential to the arc of the story: Much of the first act centers on Leavey’s struggle to pacify the dog as the duo prepares for their deployment to Iraq. In contrast, detractors insist, Rex was what dog- handlers refer to as a “push- button” dog: disciplined, loyal, and extremely good at his job. Joe Kang, who was Rex’s handler before the dog was assigned to Leavey (and did not write a letter to the filmmakers), told Task & Purpose that he was never bitten by Rex. He was perfect. And now the film makes him look like a piece of shit.” Kang suspects the film version of Rex is likely based on a dog with a track record of biting handlers named Kevin, whom he described as “fucking nuts,” a “beast,” and a “land shark.” In an email to Task & Purpose, Mike Dowling — a Marine veteran who was Rex’s first handler, and later wrote a book about their experience in Iraq together, entitled Sergeant Rex: The Unbreakable Bond Between A Marine and His Military Working Dog — explained that, while Rex could be aggressive when he needed to be (like, in combat), or when intentionally provoked, he was not aggressive with his handlers and “had an overall well- mannered temperament.” Adding, “He was a very happy dog in general and it was always safe to have him off leash as long as he was around other handlers or Marines who understood just to leave him alone.”Others voiced similar complaints. This script took so many events that happened to others in our kennel and claimed them as her events.”Premiere of Bleecker Street and LD Entertainments’ “MEGAN LEAVEY” at Yankee Stadium. Pictured (left to right): Ramon Rodriguez, Megan Leavey, Kate Mara, Common, Edie Falco, Gabriela Cowperthwaite. Jesse L. Maldonado, a former Marine staff sergeant, who was assigned to the K- 9 unit at Camp Pendleton at the same time as Leavey, wrote that he was saddened and angered by the script, and that it “discredits the service and sacrifice of fellow Marines,” including himself. Maldonado contended that the first act of the script borrows heavily from his own personal experiences dealing with a difficult dog when he first arrived at the unit, “within weeks” of Leavey, and his subsequent ascent up the ranks after being severely wounded by suicide bomber in Iraq. In both his letter to the filmmakers and in a recent interview with Task & Purpose, Maldonado agreed with Kang that the Rex character is likely based on Kevin, which was assigned to him, and that it wasn’t Rex’s previous handler who got bit, but Maldonado himself. I had a handler- aggressive dog, I got blown up in Iraq, and when I got back I became a chief trainer.” (Asked if he planned to sue the filmmakers for using his life story, he replied, “I wouldn’t even know how to go about suing someone.”)Another point of contention: In the film, soon after Leavey returns to Camp Pendleton from Iraq, she begins training a new dog- handler on how to search for explosives. According to Maldonado and three other members of the unit, including Wood, Leavey would have never trained new handlers, because that role is reserved for chief trainers. Lt. Benjamin Maple (left), K- 9 master, and former Cpl. Megan Leavey (right) prepare to accept Military Working Dog Rex’s certificate during his retirement ceremony and adoption at Camp Pendleton’s K- 9 unit, April 6, 2. The film’s version of how and why Leavey became a part of the K- 9 unit at Camp Pendleton is also a matter of dispute. All four authors of the letters, as well as Kang, took issue with the film’s version, which depicts Leavey being assigned to clean the unit’s dog kennels as punishment for drunkenly urinating in public. They also deny that she earned the job as a dog- handler by becoming an expert rifle marksman, exceeding the Corps’ physical fitness standards, and then proving her grit by donning a bite suit so she could serve as a training dummy for the military working dogs. Instead, the Marines said, Leavey was assigned to the K- 9 unit just like everyone else: By receiving official orders to Camp Pendleton upon completing the Military Working Dog Basic Handler Course in San Antonio, Texas. To attend that course, Marines must be selected by a board of senior instructors after graduating from military police school. All of these complaints seem trivial, especially given the fact that the real- life Leavey did, in fact, deploy twice to Iraq, both times with Rex, and was wounded in combat. But even the circumstances around her injury, a climactic moment in the film, have been called into question. In the movie, Leavey and Rex are struck by an IED while approaching a suspicious vehicle on a road in Ramadi. Both are knocked unconscious. When they come to, instead of allowing herself and Rex to be medically evacuated, Leavey volunteers to join a group of soldiers in a counterattack on a nearby compound to “get” the “fuckers” who tried to kill her and Rex. The ensuing firefight is a battle of epic proportions, replete with exploding RPGs, fierce close- quarters combat, and more than a few near misses for Leavey. The scene ends with Leavey and Rex scrambling to climb into a Humvee as it drives away under heavy fire. The pair is almost left on the battlefield. None of the Marines with whom Task & Purpose spoke were present during the incident, which resulted in Leavey earning the Purple Heart. |
