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.
