MUST WATCH A SECOND TIME

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2019)

This movie is super wierd, but its brilliant. Stanley Kubrick's recreation of the life of a marine makes you feel things you didn't think were possible. Just accept it and go for the ride. The acting is amazing and the movie glues your eyes to the screen. It uses unique tactics to show things like violence in a powerful way that I've never really seen in any other war movies before. Watching it a second time round, where the oddness doesn't grip too strongly will help you see how amazing and bewildering of a movie it really is. First half is better than second half though
