Full Metal Jacket

If you've never seen Stanley Kubrick's epic Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket, I can sum up the only 2 parts you NEED to see. Not HAVE to see, because the rest of the movie is good too. There's a lot of cool parts that would make what I call my "quote realm" (like when the guy is shooting people from the helicopter, and Joker goes "How can you shoot innocent women and children", and he says "Easy. You just don't lead them as much!" or when the black guy is caught in the crossfire and the sniper just keeps shooting him, or anytime they say the name "Animal Mother")...

But the 2 parts of the movie you NEED to see are 1) the first 30 minutes or so when they're all in boot camp, and 2)the part where the prostitute is saying "Me so horny! Me love you long time. Boom boom, fifteen dollah!" The boot camp part ends with Private Pyle blowing his brains all over the back of the toilet, and the prostitute part is right after that.

Soon as that happens, you can really just change the channel unless you feel like really dedicating your time to this movie. It's good. You won't be wasting your time. But you'll say to yourself "You know, it all sort of went downhill after the guy stole that other dudes camera..."

That is all.
