Transformation of Joker's War Face.

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 1999)

Many comments seem to focus on the first half / second half analysis of this film. For me, the resonating feature is Joker's look of revulsion as he kills the VC sniper. Seargant Hartman kept goading him to work on his war face; and that face turned out to be a look of horror. That single image captured everything Kubrick was attempting to say in Full Metal Jacket.
