It's slightly overrated but overall Kubrick is a skilful director and it accurately portrays the brutalisation that occures in the army.

Fkn tits

I'm not sure how this can be a test of culture. It's more a test of opinion.

>>687550768
tru

not bad for a Vietnam War film produced in a gas works just outside London.

It's pretty shitty like all Kubrick movies. Unique dialogue no doubt but shitty

It's about a bunch of Marines, cock goblin

I love the fuck out of this movie. Probably my favorite movie.

Nigga wtf are you even talking about?

>Let's just throw every cliche about the Vietnam war in one movie and oh yeah let's kill off the two most interesting characters before we even get to Vietnam.

The first half is great, the second one is trash

>>687551533
It actually couldn't have been more authentic with the drill sgt. In real life R. Lee Ermy was a retired Marine Corps staff sgt who was only hired to be a technical advisor in Full Metal Jacket but amazed Kubrick so much that he was given the role.

i think it ends too quickly, would like it to be longer and showcase the ptsd after the war

>>687553398
highly disagree

>>687553398
Second half isn't trash, but it has been described as two different movies. The first half is as good as Kubrick's other best, the second so-so...for Kubrick.

8.5/10

I'm of a similar mind. First half is awesome, second half is good (but seems worse in light of how great the first half is).

>>687554018
>Kubrick's other best

>2001

>Apocalypse Now

Boring shit

Horrible retarded, lethargic ending

Mega boring shit

It takes a SERIOUSLY shitty director to make a movie filled with violence and rape fucking boring as shit.

Be honest, do you even like movies?
I'll grant you though that 2001 drags a bit.

>>687554853
It does make me wonder why the US military moved away from the .308

The difference in ammo carried doesn't make up for the difference in stopping power. Especially since standard infantry carries no more than 2-4 magazines anyway.

>>687553815
>>687554018

Maybe it is because I didn't saw it at the time of its release. Thing is the action scenes in second half looked cheap and a bit dumb, at least compared to other war movies.

>>687554373
which are you more looking forward to, Independence Day 2 or Warcraft?

>>687554371
Of course the second half isn't as good, kubrik killed off the best 2 characters for his style at the end of the first.
Best dialogue is from the second half though:
> how can you shoot women and children?
> easy, you just don't lead em so much

>>687555115
I like great movies

Apocalypse Now was solid until they got to the temple and Dennis Hopper started retarding on before, during and after (still fat despite having been in the jungle a year) Marlon Brando started retarding on.

>>687554373
Eyes Wide Shut is great

>>687551815

Seriously, same people that call BvS capekino (rather than the mediocre comicbook movie that it is).

confirmed for at most 17 years of age. If you don't understand the moral dilemma that is the whole point of these scenes, you're either a teenager or mentally retarded

>army

The film was about the Marine Corps. It was also the most prominent depiction of Kubrick's love of word play and general misanthropy of language (a subtle, yet profound theme in his films). This is one of his better cracks at depicting the horrors of the grandiose nature of warfare, which is good but pales in comparison to his film "paths of glory", in which the sense of individualism is lost in the scope of the conflict, which confuses emotions.

7/10 film. One of my favorites. Best line (from none other than the lone Baldwin):

Boot camp is amazing, in country is just memes done a thousand times.

I always switch it off at that point, but always watch the beginning.

5.56 has a flatter trajectory and higher velocity, so more accuracy and longer effective range.

>The moral dilemma

He was babbling the entire time.

Learn2ballistics

Smaller bullets expend their energy going really fast over a short distance. It's why you can make a 1 mile shot with a .300 win mag at 180 grains.

>which are you more looking forward to, Independence Day 2 or Warcraft?
I apologize for this rude question. Warcraft movie, by the way, is based an online video game your parents used to play on these things called desktop computers.

>>687556123
Momentum doesn't help you when your grouping is shite

>>687556300
And spraying and praying doesn't help when you're basically shooting a .22 mag

Oh shit, I forgot the sandniggers are on speed and anything without an assload of stopping power won't drop them. Disregard, I suck cocks

He was actually told not to audition for the role, then Kubrick and the producers egged him on to try out for it. He insisted that they give him hell while auditioning and from what I understand, Kubrick and others were hurling bananas and apples at him while he was reading his lines during the audition. What I wouldn't do to see that reel.

It makes no sense to NOT go for a bigger round.

There's a reason the AK74 didn't take off like the 47 did.

First half is kind of funny but the rest of the movie, I felt dragged on for a little too long.
