Full Metal Jacket sees Kubrick explore the Vietnam war, he focusses on the experiences of the American soldiers and how they are transformed from normal people, with unique personalties and experiences, to reprogrammed soldiers ready to kill at a moments notice. Through characters such as Pvt. Pyle and Pvt. Joker, Kubrick looks at this idea from multiple angles and, with a heavy layer of irony, depicts the Vietnam War in a unique way that no other film has captured since.

I interpreted the death of the girl differently. Joker stopped her suffering, as opposed to letting her slowly and painfully bleed to death.
yeah, i don't think he really lost his individuality. yes, he became a killer as he was trained. but he only did so to end her suffering. kinda perfectly embodies the duality of man, as he said. and he got through it with his personality intact.
I never considered that point you made at the end about "Paint It, Black", and I'll almost certainly never be able to hear that song in the same way. Great video, I'm looking forward to the next one on Barry Lyndon.
You will be waiting a while for the Barry Lyndon vid because I HATE that film
@@ArcherGreen _What?!?_ Awww... trippin'! That's one of the all-time greats.
Man this was great. I never noticed how the peace symbol was obscured during the mercy killing scene. Something interesting I did just notice, is how the word "Kill" on his helmet also comes into the shot as the peace symbol is covered!
This was an amazing analysis. The breakdown was great. I love this movie. I love your video
Amazing video, I'm glad the algorithm chose you mate. I need to watch fmj again
this is an awesome video
Nice video
The first half should be made into a movie in of itself
Good analysis. One further detail about Pyle: He represents a time in USMC history when they allowed mentally handicapped individuals to serve. Pyle was mentally slow--which didn't mean he couldn't be trained to drop to the ground at the sound of gunfire--or to fire a few shells of his own.
Aside: I found the mispronunciation of Vietnamese a bit distracting. It's a petty detail for me to critique, but it's vee-et-num-eez, not vee-et-mun-eez.
Great video!
Do more please!
Joker to helicopter door gunner...
Isn't that hard to shoot, women? Children?
Gunman... Nahhh, you just don't lead em as much. (or similar)
Lol. Great flick.
My last four years
They used to put so much time, effort, and money into movies
Nowadays, its the opposite, and theyre terrible.
So equal treatment = bad?
Thats not what was said at all. I don't think you actually care, but incase I'm wrong I'll explain it more slowly for you. What the guy says, and what I believe the film tries to convey is that although this would normally be fine, in the context of Hartmann's monologue, it's just another way to dehuminize each soldier.
@@user-pn3mw7rx1s So people are not equal and must be treated as such. Got it.
