Brilliance

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 1999)

I wont comment on the first half as so many seem to do it so well. The best part of the movie was for me the whole idea that the members of the army go thru so much and their mission is to finally get to kill someone and fight. Joker is disappointed that he sees no action. When he finally has to 'taste blood' it destroys him. It is a completely new look at war from most other films. It is a film about humanity (as are most of Kubricks films) rather than guns, killing and violence that I think so many people want. Beauty.
