No one seems to understand what Kubrick's doing with this - the first half is powerful, sure, because Ermey's performance is devastating. But it's actually a movie about men without women. Recall there are only two female figures in it: the "hookers" and the sniper - these women only appear in the second half of the film
>>
second half is pleb filter you wouldn't understand KINO dude it's about the duality of the man all that
very deep for your understanding

is this the most quoteable movie? before i had ever watched it i feel like i had heard every line from the first half and many from the 2nd just by growing up in america.

this is a nice observation. It reminds me of the scene where joker and cowboy are cleaning the head and joker says
"I want to slip my tube steak in you sister. what do you take for it?"
"what do you have?"
everywhere i look i see people taking this literally like cowboy was going to pimp out his sister, but i see it as joker trying to buy sex from cowboy himself. Ive never been in the military but the people I know who have would talk about how big of a deal bartering was. Things like trading the candies that come in MREs or the cough drop from the store. I wouldnt imagine any of them traded sex, but it seems depraved enough to fit in this movie.

And what's exactly the point of the movie?
>>
The second half isn't a very good representation of what the war was like. When Vietnam vets came to my school in 6th grade on veterans day to talk about the war they all said Apocalypse Now was a much more accurate representation of what the war was like for them and that Full Metal Jacket was very Hollywood. Which is funny considering Apocalypse Now was made 5 or 6 years before Full Metal

>>85815270
The anti war film that show what kind of effect the war has on the human condition. It's not the best of the best l, but previous sentence is the why this film is considered to be one of the best. Check "Platoon", "Causalities Of War", & "Path Of Glory" if you haven't.

Last week I was watching the first half with my mom for the first time

wow who would have thought that being in different zones of the war would give you different feels about it

south vietnam was much more orderly and structured war than the fucking cambodia border where skirmishes happened and where if americans happen to cross the border and were captured it would bring china to the war

lol fuck off

They literally replicated an entire Vietnamese city outskirts just for the final battle. They built every building from fucking scratch. There is NO movie about Vietnam with as much genuine scenery, equipment, tanks, choppers etc as that movie.

Fucking tard.

then those "vets" were probably the ones who never saw any action but go around telling their stories. there is no recorded history of any base going FUBAR in vietnam like in some scenes in Apocalypse.

most accurate vietnam movies were FMJ and deer hunter. Especially the city scenes.

never knew why he said that until I watched FMJ

TBQH I thought Hamburger Hill and platoon got routine combat arms military life down the best out of all the classic 'Nam movies.

Blatantly racist but not actually sincere banter is common even nowadays, as is how Alphabet acted like a dumb boot (muh Mustang or whatever shitty meme car he wanted) the whole time. Same with the medic being that one guy in every unit with personal problems who gets belligerently drunk at every opportunity and has to be reined in before he causes another incident.

Platoon got the combat/field life part the best, probably because Oliver Stone had firsthand experience as an infantry puke. Pissed off or pissed on 24/7 is the norm in the field as is all the mini power struggles over whose squad gets what duty or some other seemingly insignificant thing.

>there is no recorded history of any base going FUBAR in vietnam like in some scenes in Apocalypse.
It's an adaptation of heart of darkness using 'nam as the setting to give the film some contemporary context.
