One thing I always find grim when getting a job is having the interview with the boss, him giving you the job, him welcoming me and being really nice to making one mistake in which you get a shock surprise to see his bad side. I always be prepared for that lol
Glad I'm not the only one who felt this. I remember seeing this movie in theaters with my girlfriend (coworker at the time) and we both talked about how much Josh Brolin's character reminded us of our boss at work. Dude was a hardass who seemed nice at first, but would scream at you and make you feel horrible the moment you did anything wrong.
Love this movie, one of the best firefighter movies. I belive the only one about wildland firefighters (correct me if im wrong). Not a hotshot, but we do mostly wildland fires at my dept with the occasional MVA or structure fire. Last fire season we worked with some hotshots from out west, they were cool guys and gals, helped us out alot.
I thought his nickname was going to be The Fire Fighter and when cartel militia move into 'his' forest we realize he is the baddest retired SOF agent on earth and the blood bath begins. Oh well, slightly off.
Not gonna lie I would have thrown that punch and walked out on the lot of them. I don't need working with teammates who think there's nothing wrong with ragging rookies (and disguising it as banter or tough love), or that bringing people's families into the ragging is fine.
They're firefighters, best case scenario where someone fucks up in the scenario depicted there is that someone ends up with burn scars, worst case scenario they die or the fire breaks through their line. I don't condone the shit he said about his daughter, but as with any job where death is almost guaranteed if you mess up, people who have been there and done that and see the new guys messing things up - especially when it results in group punishment - lose all sympathy for the rookies and make sure they know they're the reason the rest of the group are suffering. Either you tought it out and you get it right the next time, or you leave. If you stick around and keep getting it wrong, people can die, there's no room for that.
And that’s the difference between you and him. He needs this job for his own mental health and the stability of his family. As a real man he’s containing himself and taking the slander to push through for his loved ones. A real man doesn’t fight when he feels like it he fights when he has to. He took it like a champ, cooled off and continued on like a MAN should. Fighting doesn’t make you a man. It makes you a hot headed idiot. Only real men can contain themselves like he did for the greater good of his family and crew.
@@CommanderCharmsyeah but don’t be a cunt and bring his family into it, he had every right to say fuck that crew after that comment. Nobody stuck up for him so why should he feel like they’d get his back when shit hits the fan?
Yup i’m glad someone else sees it too. They rag on him for getting watch outs wrong, but they left the black to go into a high brush chimney in afternoon, with high winds very subject to change. And no lookout watching the fire either. Insanity
I don't think houses, families, and communities grow back but maybe you're smarter than us all. You're right though, forests do grow back if you give it 100+ years, that is to be grown back as it was. We need fires, yes, but we need to manage good fires and control raging fires. Fires that kill. That's what these men fight

One of the better movies made to honor fallen team members.
The best in my opinion.
underrated movie.

Damn that hit home
This was an awesome movie, but it's sad enough to stay on your mind for the rest of your life.
beautiful movie!!
Guy had that punch coming , never talk about another man's family

They become best friend at the end, dear
Spoiler alert
He had to do 200 pushups in top gun 2 too. Not fair.

I mean that was probably done for cinematic effect

That's because you need to grow up.

Point.
Eric Marsh had way to much ego even in this movie.. its a shame he got his entire crew killed
