But i agree, I love FMJ

This picture was right next to the Vin/Rock one in the catalog. Got me thinking.

I liked this film to be honest. Alotta people told me it was gay as shit and there wasn't enough war in it, to that my response to them was are you a fucking idiot?

Full Metal Jacket is undeniably amazing, definitely my favorite film about war.

whats some Vietnam Kino?

Platoon is way less subtle and more hackneyed and political than FMJ. I won't spoil it but it's an incredibly one sided hippie-ish take on the conflict though I would still recommend watching it.

Yeah that seems like half the point.

I read the book and it's obvious they lightened it up alot though. For instance, his gf had already cheated on him while he was in boot camp, and he had cheated on her with a Jap and Vietnamese girl, among others like prostitutes. Nobody ever reprimands him for threatening to kill the one guy either.

It's a pity they couldn't portray the somewhat-alien morality and mindset of a marine, else it'd alienate the fuck out of people.

Check this film out, I absolutely loved it. Not entirely a war film but the most original film that covers that topic. Story is center around a young man's involvement in the Palestinian war.

Totally forgot about the Jap hookers in the book, that's about the part I got to before I stopped reading the book, think I lost it.
That would be good if they could portray that, but the only ones who would truly understand it are the ones who went through that kind of shit.

I wish more films were animated for the sake of it.

That's fair, even if it is Jewish propaganda

>>82952403
Most of Hollywood is anyways, at least it's independent propaganda.

/v/ I know thats you, The Vietnam game is fucking trash

apocalypse now, I almost feel, would benefit from being a TV series, to meditate on each segment.

Seriously, my favorite Copolla.

AN and Platoon are by far the best ones. I love Kubrick and FMJ but I think theyre both better than FMJ. Born on the 4th of July is good until the second half and then it gets so head up its own ass preachy it becomes painful to watch. Goodmorning Vietnam is alright, I dont like Robin Williams when hes trying to be funny, but when the movie gets to the more drama parts its really good. Deer Hunter wasnt too bad if you dont mind longer movies, very character based.
