AUDITORIUM |
Wiseman uncovers human conditions in inhuman situations. By showing us the
marching, the hand-to-hand combat, the loss of identity, he conveys the
humor and sadness of the situation. Basic Training follows a company
of draftees and enlisted men through the drills and weapons training that
converts civilians into soldiers. 1971, U.S., BW, 16mm, 89 minutes.
