"Without my Rifle I am useless" ew chills

Let's give Camilla a round of applause for surviving Full Metal Jacket (1987)! 👏👏 Happy Friday. This is my second favorite Kubrick movie after The Shining (1980). My girlfriend's dad (RIP always to him) also liked this movie too. I get a good laugh from the entire platoon marching around the barracks and singing "This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun." while holding their rifles, by the stock, on one hand and their crotches on the other. I used to wake up every morning to the sound of Hartman's reveille. Just like The Shining, I own this movie on DVD in 4:3 Full-Screen format, which is also the full aspect ratio of the original camera negative as Stanley Kubrick intended.

The emotional and physical abuse that the recruits are subjected to in this film were, in fact, routine to basic training in every branch of the armed services. Dehumanization was the principal objective.

I attended Marine Corps boot camp at Paris Island in 1983. This is the most realistic depiction of the experience I've seen.

When the soldiers are asked by the camera crew about Vietnam and the War they have different confusing answers, but there is no confusion over the indoctrination of basic training which is to kill. Interesting that a lot of serial killers have military experience. There is also this correlation between violence and sex in the film. The drill sergeant is even teasing them with sex every now and then. There is also a lot of sex and war themes in Dr. Strangelove, all the military guys seem ok with the end of the world as long as they are in a bunker with 10 women to every man.

definitely was hoping that this was over exaggerated in some ways 😔
