Johnnie Got His Gun! (2010) really dives into the documentary form in a way that's a bit unconventional. It stitches together snippets of interviews with To, but honestly, the way it’s edited can feel disjointed at times. You’ve got bits of breaking news mixed in with clips from P.T.U and The Mission—there's almost a chaotic rhythm to it. The atmosphere it builds is eerie, almost jarring, reflecting the themes of war and personal struggle. Montmayeur's interview feels like it's buried under layers of montage, and that’s both frustrating and intriguing. It's distinctive for its fragmented storytelling, which makes you question the narrative flow as a whole.
