I know it's about the Vietnam, but what point do you think Kubrick is trying to make and what makes you think you're right?

Yes, I've seen the movie. The horrors of war are a theme in the movie, but what ids the deeper message or meaning.

I'm usually right. It's just a habit.
Kubrick shows how Marine Corps training breaks down all social constraints and reprograms the recruit to think like a robot and kill without conscience.
Most Marines survive the process and eventually become productive members of society. A few become sociopaths or psychopaths.

finished Meta Jacket nailed it. This replaced into as lifelike as boot camp can get. bear in suggestions, this action picture replaced into made to mirror Marine Corps life maximum well called much as Vietnam, issues have replaced, yet I doubt that this is have been given any much less complicated. My time at MCRD replaced into 9 years formerly, and DI's have been much less constrained touching directly to the actual punishment they doled out. The bleeding hearts and their wimpy investigations delivered actual punishment to an end, sometime between the top of the Eisenhower era and the start of JFK's. I won't say that i replaced right into a proponent of this extra actual element of boot camp, besides the incontrovertible fact that it advantageous decreased the repetitiveness of coaching. It additionally punished the guy in charge for an infraction, quite than the completed platoon ! R. Lee Ermy performed the DI in FMJ. He replaced right into a Marine DI at one time, and replaced into initially a technical consultant for the action picture, this is, till somebody pronounced that he play the region of Gunny Harmon.

You answered your own question. But that movie is the best. It was funny at first when I first saw it but each time I feel more and more sorry for Pyle he just couldn't get his big,goofy butt in line.
"Do you feel faint Pyle?"

It is about the insanity of war... The boot camp story was very real, it really was that way... Hard to imagine unless you have been through it, made the hair stand up on the back of my neck...
