 Re: Full Metal Jacket not his best, but still one of the better war films out there. it's certainly unlike the rest of 'em... the only problem for me was that the movie climaxed both emotionally and in terms of quality after about 45 minutes.

Re: Full Metal Jacket I honestly think the 2nd half of FMJ has the best in-war scenes out there. I'm not a fan of Saving Private Ryan, the Deer Hunter has very little of the actual war, I haven't seen Apocalypse Now but I've read Heart of Darkness so I know it doesn't have much actual war either. So Platoon vs the 2nd half of Full Metal Jacket... I like Full Metal Jacket

Re: Full Metal Jacket so yes, the first 45 mins was brilliant, and it did fall apart a bit after that...but not all of the second half was a complete waste, not by a mile. importantly it started picking up again at the individual faceshots/interviews, and by the time it got to the sniper it was brilliant again. it was at its most kubrickian (and therefore best) with the surreal nighttime music scenes.

Re: Full Metal Jacket I prefer this to Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Casualties of War and The Deer Hunter.

Re: Full Metal Jacket Algren wrote: I prefer this to Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Casualties of War and The Deer Hunter. I think Platoon is better overall. However the boot camp part is brilliant and better than anything in any other Vietnam film. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!
