none of the above is about the movie!

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2005)

Hey- How come there isn't any discussion about the actual movie? I guess it strikes a chord with some - and revs them up..... My question is..... does the director give some credit to Kubrick? He actually rips Full Metal Jacket off- literally. For example- the scene where the main character is going crazy and he is repeating the lines about how the rifle is his " whatever". Also, the Sergeant's lines are very similar to Full Metal Jacket. The director is a Brit so maybe he knows that he is ripping it off - is it part homage to Kubrick? I hope to God that this director isn't taking credit for the ideas in this film- they are as old as the hills. Anyway, has anyone heard the director address this or talk about his influences? Cheers
