Yes the punishing scene from Full Metal Jacket came to mind as well.

Well I see it as 2 against 1.

it's like a scene from Full Metal Jacket.

We'll miss you, buddy, and I hope you drop us a line whenever you can. Boot camp is going to suck, but it won't suck that bad. The worst part: You never get enough sleep. The rest is all a mindfuck. Don't forget that. And don't laugh when your drill instructor says something funny like in 'Full Metal Jacket.' That was the demon I had to slay in boot camp, but it made my chest and arms stronger, I tell ya.

Take care, and we all appreciate your service to our country.

often point to this flick, along with Saving Private Ryan, American History X, and Full Metal Jacket as some of the most (potentially) really disturbing movies, that you should see anyway, because it's so not gratuitous, and really needs to be that ugly to do a serious matter justice.

Congrats LadyDeath! Seems like just yesterday I was giving you guff about channel assignments on your Full Metal Jacket clips.

Congrats LadyDeath! Seems like just yesterday I was giving you guff about channel assignments on your Full Metal Jacket clips.

Congrats to you, LadyD! Your first sift is still my favorite, though jelly doughnuts are good too.

First off, I'd like to quote what vsbm said some 2 months ago:
>> ^videosiftbannedme:
I actually do appreciate lengthy exposition. Just not Kubrick's way of doing it. Kubrick fans espouse what a genius he was. Overrated is what I see.

All in all I'd say this was a nice, solid movie, although somewhat slow and lacking in drama - at least it was right until the sniper part (near the end). By the way - this is where I start to nit-pick and express my disbelief at how enourmously overrated this film is.
The sniper scene (and I'm not talking about the finale, but the beginning, in which the sniper takes a couple of soldiers out) was awful, just awful; ruined the whole movie for me. It was dragged-out twice the time it should've been and marked by obnoxious unaesthetic use of slow-mo (way to flaunt your 60-fps camera there - a quintile of the whole film was in slow-mo) and even replays. Replays!! That's right, they're terrible even in bloopers and sports vids, and Kubrick decided to implement them here. Even 80s Hong-Kong action flicks did them better.
Ah, well. Mini-rant ends with me saying that the best thing about this film was Adam Baldwin. Chainsaw-wielding badasses FTW!


EDD, I'm not going to disagree with you because FMJ is not one of Kubrick's best, to be sure, but I'll add a footnote that (to me) shows why he was a genius.

When the group stands over the wounded girl-sniper and they've chosen Joker to finish her off, watch Joker's close-up carefully, in particular, the peace symbol on his body armor. The peace symbol slowly becomes eclipsed, Joker then pulls the trigger, and then the peace symbol comes back but only half-way.

If you know anything about how many takes Kubrick forces his actors to endure, you know that such scene construction is more than feasible. Once again, FMJ is not a fantastically-strong film. But Kubrick's headgear had "born to film" on it.

Comedy is fine as long as you add dark too it.


A fine compromise.

For me, this was the first scene in the movie where I didn't laugh. This is where the train starts going off the tracks, because you're supposed to start feeling bad for him here.

While I can't say I'm overwhelmed with sympathy for him for what he ends up doing...I can say I understand it.
