Kubrick's best movie - ever!

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 1999)

This is perhaps one of the best movies I have seen and certainly the best movie Kubrick made. As most of Kubrick's movies this one doesn't bend for the will of the society and therefore immediately becomes a classic amongst classics. The movie is divided in two, the first part taking place at a military training camp and the second part in Hue city, Vietnam. Personally I like the first part best since it's the most realistic of the to parts but the second part still isn't bad - it's actually more devastating to the audience then most other war-movies I have seen - including "Saving Private Ryan" and "Thin Red Line".
