Oh my God

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2010)

I had seen parts and heard sound clips over the years in different types of media of some of R. Lee Ermey famous role in Full Metal Jacket, but watching the whole thing go on in on is a totally different experience. I haven't heard one man express so much hate in my entire life, I think every man should be required to watch the scene before the sign up for the Army. He is so intense and crazy that can you really blame Pyle for snapping like he did I know I couldn't. Not only is the dialog in this movie well done the cinematography is breath taking. Even the shots at boot camp are done well, the scene shot is the sunset orange is beautiful. When the actually get to the war its even better. I don't know where they shot but it looks perfectly like the wore torn Vietnam I imagine in my history classes when we learned about the chaos that took place. Not only that but this film is probably the first War film to perfectly capture the feelings soldiers feel while at war since All Quite On The Western Front. Powerful scene of death and people losing control it countiue on throughout the film and they perfect capture the feeling of the soldiers at the time at the Vietnam war ; Shouldn't they fight there own war. The different character the come in and out of the film really captures all the different types of soldiers there are. The first scene of the film is extremely intense and long and it sets the tone for the entire movie. The scene when Joker shoots the girl sniper is so long and played out to really drag out the emotions in you. This is a very powerful and well done film that I would recommend to anyone.
