Background
Asked about how and why he wrote the story, he said in an interview with Time Out Australia: "I was having a conversation with a marine and we were very, very different people and I learnt a little bit about him, his history and background and so this movie was inspired by his story."
The Village Voice noted that "in 'Dog Tags', Dietz gets serious and is all the better for it... he has freed himself as a writer".
