Don't remember specific details but that and the ending with the marines walking in darkness with the fire around them is pure /kino/

there was absolutely nothing "generic" about it retard, and I don't think following the fate of that one squad Joker attached to makes it a "war movie"

The 2nd half is the best pleb filter ever

the second half is better than the first half, great Kubrickian dark comedy

but the first half is still kino

>I am so happy that I am short
What did Private Joker mean by this? Is he a manlet and proud of it?

>>87546171
Movie only gets gud after Ermy dies. Fact.

>>87549145
so pleb filter mean it filters OUT the plebs (plebs don't like it) or does it to mean that you are a pleb if you like it? I do not understand.

>>87549962
the act of asking what pleb filter means is itself a pleb filter

>>87549994
but for who?

>>87549962

pleb filter
filter pleb

think about those two for a moment and you'll get your answer.

>>87546171
I know it may not occur to those who have never been in combat but the second half was showing how insane modern combat can be. The single sniper picking off a platoon is really not an uncommon occurrence, especially in gorilla warfare. That what what Kubrick was trying convey in the film. How one seemingly minor opposition can be game changing in the field of battle. Now I'm a sailor, but my brother in law who is a marine has a particularly interesting story that really reminds me of this movie. When he arrived in Afghanistan the first thing he learned was that there was sniper in the region who was killing marines and had been there for a week or so. Shortly after his arrival the sniper was caught. Know who it was? A fucking Russian women mercenary women and midget afghan. Literally no shit. That is what this movie is trying to convey. Shit happens in war

That never happened and your brother knows it.

>>87549962
what's not intuitive about the concept for me is that a filter is normally used to separate part of something that is desirable whereas the plebs are in this case undesirables

he's been in the marines 12 years and has never seen combat. He has no reason to lie. Besides friends who served with him have also told me the same story.

name one war movie like it. Apocalypse Now does not count. It isn't a war movie

"filter out" is way more used than "filter in"

ok that's a better way to think about it

So the dumb action movie portions with absolutely no point are the pleb filters? I fucking hate this retarded contrarian board. You will defend ANY opinion as long as it isn't popular.

>>87550834
In terms of combining every single cliche? You're right, nothing else pulled that off. I'll list them
>Dude marines use profanity and make sex jokes lmao XD
>Dude every single soldier has an ironic anti war outlook XD
>Dude soldiers like, use prostitutes haha
>And like, everyone has a nickname xd
>And their guns never run out of ammo!
The only it thing it didn't do was start playing it ain't me

second half is literally the best part

>>87551468
t. pleb
The unpopular parts aren't always pleb filters, sometimes they're unpopular because they just suck. Please offer a good reason as to why the second half is actually an in any way unique look at the vietnam war.

This is the patrician opinion.

I wanted to see exotic Vietnam... the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture... and kill them.

The definition of "really makes me think"

i think i was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir
