    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.

            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
