Since its release in 1987, Full Metal Jacket has remained a topic of discussion among film lovers. The film is notably divided into two parts, the first being at boot camp and the second in Vietnam. But what’s most interesting about this Kubrick masterpiece is that it’s not a Vietnam war film. Actually, it isn’t a war film at all.

I believe it's still a proper analysis in terms of Jokers hesitation. Hartmann trained them to keep their shit wired tight at all times and at the moment of truth he failed. Instead of clearing the jam he fumbled around and dropped his weapon, looking inept and untrained. His instincts weren't sharp. It should have been instinctual "shit, jammed" wham bam clear it and hose her. Especially if he's approaching the hostile position I would have made sure I was locked and loaded ready to fire.
@stormblahblah5589 6 жыл бұрын
Ahmet Ertuğrul Akyol The point of the video is highlighting the conflicts within the characters. Pyles new killer instinct and his last semblance of humanity clash and culminate in the murder of Hartmann. He loathes Hartmann because of the abuse of his psyche, or humanity, and his instincts motivate him to squeeze the trigger. Pyle was defending his own humanity from being lost forever in a void of abuse, but upon the act of murder, he realizes he lost it and in that moment decides to kill himself. There's more to it then him simply going crazy or else he would have triggered joker too. Granted joker helped him but he also participated in the act of abuse that pushed Pyle over the edge, the soap scene.

I can definitely agree with that about Kubrick films, but that analogy works for any film that could be called ‘a work of art’ (Kubrick films, No Country For Old Men, Apocalypse Now, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Taxi Driver). Great stories with hidden meanings, symbolism, all that good stuff in it as well. Unfortunately we haven’t had too many of those in the last decade, at least in my opinion.

Something I never asked myself until my third viewing of the film is, “why exactly does Lawrence (Gomer Pyle) snap at this particular part in the movie?” The last few scenes leading up to this point show a significant improvement in his performance compared to the first scenes with Pyle. He had graduated and as Joker said, it was their last night on Parris Island. He didn’t have to put up with most of the bullying/demeaning anymore. Sure he would have no grand time in Vietnam but if he kept performing like the last few scenes with him in Boot Camp showed, then there would be very little reason for others to demean him like Hartman had done for the past few weeks. The DI is staying in Parris Island to continue training new recruits right? Pyle only had to deal with the source of most of his turmoil for the past few weeks (Hartman) for one more night. An easy task considering he’d shaped up. Sure, Pyle was bitter about his treatment for the past few weeks but in 1 night his life was about to improve compared to how it had been lately…. Okay maybe improve isn’t the right word… he’s still being sent off to Vietnam but it seemed like he was on the right track to becoming the perfect marine, even if it did cost him is individuality, sanity, and a beating or two. Perhaps not having to deal with Hartman wasn’t enough and he felt he had to kill him. Killing Hartman was retribution for his treatment but also serves as payback for drastically turning him into what Pyle deep down really isn’t; a killer. Regardless, there’s another theory that makes the timing of his snapping point make a bit more sense: Clearly, Lawrence was drafted. There’s no way he would have volunteered. He obviously doesn’t want to be there so he figures the best way to avoid being sent to Vietnam is to fake being unfit for service. Maybe, just maybe, his plan will work… the verbal and physical abuse he endured will be worth it if he gets sent home or reassigned. What if the real reason he snapped was because of his realization that his plan of playing a fool to get him discharged failed, he endured weeks of verbal and physical abuse all for nothing, he is still being sent off to Vietnam and most likely will die. Notice how he executes the rifle exercise flawlessly in this scene and how his performance has improved overall leading up to this scene, just as if he had dropped the act or something. I don’t know, an “if I’m going sent off to die I might as well die on my own terms and might as well take Hartman with me as payback” kind of thing I just wanted to share this theory that kind of blew my mind (pun intended) that makes the timing of Pyle’s breakdown make more sense.

I feel like if it was his plan all along, he wouldn't have seemingly improved over time as we see in the film. It seems to take him a few days to rapidly get better, but if he was trying to be discharged you'd think he'd keep the act up until the last possible moment. but it is an interesting theory
@DutchKidRanger 5 ай бұрын
When you achieve the goals you had set, then what? It doesn't matter if you are homeless or a CEO, then what? He transformed into what they wanted a killer. So he killed. No going up or down the chain of life, he just remained what he became. I think it's like that because he and Joker could have been friends, but instead Joker maintained his heart, and Pyle lost his.

If you rewatch the movie, Rafterman starts as a photographer that gets spooked by combat. As he progresses further into film, he goes from carrying photography equipment to holding both a camera and an M16 and spouting the life as an ideal solider. Before Joker shoots the sniper, look at Rafterman's face; it's nearly identical to the face of Pvt. Pyle's and his sanity before he shoots the drill sergeant as he is the only one smiling in that situation.

Gomer Pyle isn't the worst of the bunch. He most likely got drafted and in the opening scene, he seems to be gentle and innocent which brings him into conflict with Hartman who chokes Pyle simply for having a smile on his face. Pyle goes on to become a great marksman. I view the ending in which the marines sing the mickey mouse song as a metaphor of the military-industrial complex's cultural Amercanisation of South East Asia.

I love the ending. It shows the mask that the soldiers have to put on at the end. When you’re in war your goal is to survive and to not dwell on the horrors you may have had to perform. Singing the Mickey Mouse club theme song separates the soldiers from Vietnam to a more innocent time. It’s pretty dark and genius that Kubrick decided to end it that way

I disagree with you: The woman Joker failed to kill was not an innocent child but a ruthless sniper who had to be taken care of.
@AMatterofFilm 6 жыл бұрын
Well, nobody said she was innocent. She was a ruthless sniper, she had to be taken care of. Agreed. But she was also a woman and a child and this contrasts Joker's earlier views in the film. Thanks for commenting Christian!
@justsomestuff4971 5 жыл бұрын
A Matter of Film I think in a way the sniper represented who joker kinda was on the inside. The fact that it was a child trained to kill, showed the death of innocence as children are a symbolism of purity or kind innocence. By killing her, in a way it only showed even more that joker was changed forever because she was a representation of the last piece of him. He was a man who lost all innocence by killing her. I don’t think the fact that it was a moral conflict that made it hard for him, or at the very least a simple moral conflict like it was just a child but actually I think it was the fact that he saw himself in her. He saw the dead eyes that shined with the fire burning around her. And the final scenes of the soldiers marching through this fire singing a children’s song even pushes the idea further showing that it was every bit of innocence burning away. She may have been a ruthless killer but also in the same situation as joker where she was forced to become a cog in the system, and the only thing left was her adolescence, ultimately destroyed by war. But that’s just my thoughts on it.

Hey! I first watched these movie 4 years ago more or less. I had only the opportunity to watch the first part and really enjoyed it. Yesterday, I watched the whole movie and it was really really interesting. Such an experience. I would like to share something that I've noticed. In the scene where Joker kills the sniper, in the beginning on the shot you can see the word kill on his helmet and the peace sign. However, slowly the peace sign starts dissapearing to the point where we cannot see it and it is at that moment, at that shot, when you can only see the word "kill" and not the peace sign when he shoots her.
