Just for fun - Full Metal Jacket



The famous movie Full Metal Jacket by Stanley Kubrick was probably not meant by the promotion or any official support of the military or the servicemen. The movie summary often mentions the portrayal od the dehumanizing process the recruits are put into before going to war ("Full Metal Jacket"). You can watch piece of that in this video. In the comment section on Youtube, some people who by their statement are ex-marines state that this is how it works in the real Boot Camp and some stated that movies like this actually convinced them to join the U. S. Marine Corps ("Full Metal Jacket - 10 Minutes of Boot Camp.") Of course there is no proof for what they are saying concerning the reasons they joined. But the actor playing the Drill Instructor is a real former DI, who simply played it as he done it in reality. ("R. Lee Ermey")

By my opinion this is arguably one of the best war movies made. Worth watching. It does not portray the soldiers as a heroes, but neither as a villain. More like a people in strange situation. And everybody is influenced differently by the boot camp and the Vietnam War.
