But at this point in the film, hadn't he lost like 15+ pounds and also shouldn't soldiers be held to a slimmer standard than others? And yeah the movie was made a long time ago. Most people are actually fat now.
He did gain 70lbs for the role so technically he was fat, just not as fat as some people are today.
Yeah but my point was I remember thinking he got skinnier throughout the film, as though he was supposed to getting "whipped into shape"
throughout the film
It's been awhile since I've seen it but I'm pretty sure this guy redecorated the bathroom in bootcamp.
That's about the time the tone of the movie changes significantly
Oh cool! Like new wallpaper and tiles or just redid the backsplash? Either way, that's mighty kind of him. That guy's got a real good head on his shoulders.
Ok granted maybe it was only a 25 minute period I'm talking about but there was a progression iirc. "Redecorating the bathroom" is the crudest least empathetic way I can imagine putting it

Thanks. I pulled out all the stops for that one.
Love it m8. Keep it up.
Apparently nobody’s clothes fit after basic because you either lose weight or gain muscle.
This was my thought exactly. The military has actual weight standards. So he could be fat compared to all his fellow soldiers, but not fat by normal standards.
Don’t know about slimmer but soldiers should definitely be carrying less fat reserves and moving with more muscle mass. Calories supplied in the field, and if the logistics for that break down then you’re not going to live long enough to starve.
Yup. The dude was fat for military standards then and he'd be fat for military standards today.
