Sergeant Hartman, who is renamed from the book's Gerheim, has an expanded role in the film. Private Pyle's incompetence is presented as weighing negatively on the rest of the platoon; unlike those in the novel, he is the only under-performing recruit. [84] The film omits Gerheim's disclosure he thinks Pyle might be mentally unstable—a " Section 8"—to the other troops; instead, Joker questions Pyle's mental state. In contrast, Hartman praises Pyle, saying he is "born again hard". Jenkins says that portraying Hartman as having a warmer social relationship with the troops would have upset the balance of the film, which depends on the spectacle of ordinary soldiers coming to grips with Hartman as a force of nature who embodies a killer culture.

I hated fleshtones on the earlier releases, which were so skewed towards red that everyone looked pig-faced. This new transfer is much more natural, if still not absolutely spot-on. Hues are a tad cleaner, and a bit more robust (most noticeably the deep blues of the infamous bathroom scene between Vincent D'Onofrio and R. Lee Ermey). Finally, compression artifacts are no longer issue, with the annoying banding of the previous release gone, and no other defects visible. Powers, Ann (December 8, 2010).

[24] [43] The film often has a more tragic tone than the book, which relies on callous humor. In the film, Joker remains a model of humane thinking, as evidenced by his moral struggle in the sniper scene and elsewhere. Joker works to overcome his own meekness rather than compete with other Marines. The film omits Joker's eventual domination over Animal Mother shown in the book. [87] As with the picture, the audio has had a varied past as well. The other editions have had a Dolby Digital mix, a Dolby True HD mix and of course the purists’ choice – a mono mix. For this new 4K edition Warner has given us a DTS HD Master Audio mix and a restored mono one as well. That’s good news and should satisfy the masses. I chose to listen to the DTS mix and wasn’t disappointed. Granted, it can’t hold a candle to some of today’s modern mixes, but I found a fullness and depth that I’d had ever experienced while watching this film. But if 6 speakers are a bit too much, the included mono offering should more than satisfy. Supplements: What are the extras? a b "Awards Search". goldenglobes.org.
