Anti-war at its best

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2017)

This is Kubrick's anti-war propaganda movie. In Full Metal Jacket he shows the marine's lose of morality, proving that there's no benefit in war.
The first half of the movie is about the harsh training at the Island which dehumanizes the privates. It even traumatizes some of them, specially pvt Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio) who goes mad and kills the gunnery (R. Lee Ermey).
The second half shows the consequences of the training, which leads to trivialization of human life and lose of morality. Some parts are really disturbing like the helicopter scene where a guy is shooting peasants because "everyone who runs is a vietcong".
My only complain is that the soundtrack, except at the beginning, felt disjointed with the movie.I mean what the hell is surfing bird doing there?
