Full jacketification
I’m just so tired of all these star wars.
Love this scene because Pyle has finally become a true soldier, a mindless killing machine, so he kills the enemy his drill instructor then himself. Disturbingly beautiful film that was ruined by chuds obsessing over it because whoa cool war crimes!
Pretty much. I mean the end of the film the marine company is marching through a dark landscape that’s on fire, obviously supposed to be hell, singing the mickey mouse song, mickey mouse was slang in vietnam for shit being out of control. The film is literally screaming at you that war is hell and yet chuds are like hahaha m-16 go brrrr, drill instructor abuse fat guy hehhehehe
Right, I might also be misremembering, but up until this scene the opening sequence was presented as a little light hearted. Which I took as a way to communicate how young and innocent the people who fight our wars tend to be before showcasing the result of the mental anguish caused by just their training.
