Then there is a parade, and Wiseman consciously uses all the craggy-face-against-darkened-skies cliches to film it. Basic Training ends with a drum major pumping his arms like a human gasket, which only reiterates what the film's been demonstrating all along: that the army is a goalless, reciprocating machine...
