Eh. While the boot camp part was clearly the GOAT of the movie. You can't sleep on the other parts of the movie like Joker losing his smile at the end, the intense sniper scenes, and so forth.
The movie overall is that shyt
Agreed. It's kinda almost like 2 movies in 1. Boot camp is almost like it's own movie, then the nam part. No movie is fukking with the boot camp part of this movie.
"Holy dog shyt! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dikks?"
I will give you three seconds, exactly three fukking seconds, to wipe that stupid grin off your face, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fukk you!

The theme of the movie is on the second half. The first part is funny but the second part brings home how sad and stupid war is. Don't lose the message kiddies.Eh.

The second half has its funny parts to.

Yep. I love how they really touch on how retarded that war was from the news fabrication of the war, the "downtime" that the soldiers was indulging in, and the fact that the soldiers sung the mickey mouse club theme towards the end was such a dope close out to the movie.

Uh, the boot camp part is what really carries that movie once in Vietnam it kind of falls off. I would say platoon deer hunter and Apocalypse now are better overall movies
Funnily enough, the tone shifts in this film wiped all those stupid grins off my face plenty of times throughout. Paths of Glory is probably my GOAT Kubrick war movie but I loved the dive into dehumanization here.I will give you three seconds, exactly three fukking seconds, to wipe that stupid grin off your face, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fukk you!

My anxiety was at an all-time high during the Vietnam scenes. The build-up with the final sniper was like something out of a horror movie and I’m still
over Joker losing a piece of his soul. It’s pretty wild that all of those scenes were shot in the outskirts of London.

Breh that entire movie had layers....
- How war turn boys to killers
- How Pyle became good at the only thing that ended his life
- How Motherlover was on some
, but ran through that sniper zone the moment ole dude got killed - The Mickey Mouse scene
One of my favorite war movies next to Apocalypse Now.

I don't know how similar Marine Corps boot camp is to the movie today, but in 1996 it wasn't too far off. I watched it before I left and I thought nah this just a movie. Then I arrived at MCRD San Diego, the bus door opens and immediately they are on your azz. From the yellow footprints to graduation day 3 months later they cut you no slack. I got back home on leave afterwards and everyone was asking how was it. I would just tell them to watch the boot camp part of FMJ because it was still like that. When you 1st get there the drill instructor is like

And ain't shyt you can do.

Its a great movie. The 2nd half gets unfair criticism to me.
A lot of other Vietnam films play more on emotion and have a conventional narrative structure and a sympathetic lead character to relate to. This gives you exactly what you would expect from Kubrick - a cold unsentimental look at the psychology of war. If you view this as part of a trilogy with Paths Of Glory and Dr. Strangelove, I think they compliment each other well.
