And, you know, in the case of my film, there was a battle of Tarawa and they were trying to get ashore, but they fucked up the tides. So they came in and the tides were too low.

So these kids were getting blown up before they even got to the fucking beach. They were getting killed. And their best friends or body parts are floating in the fucking oceans. And there's sharks. And there's giant surf waves. And they're getting rocked before they've ever even got. So I'm like, okay, well, how do I want to show that? And I look at a movie like Climax. And I'm like, all right.
