hello everyone, don't know if i'm doing things correctly since it is my first time using this site. Anyway, I saw full metal jacket by director Stanley Kubrick and I must admit I first was disapointed. I dont know if it is because i was expecting so much or if in fact I am not the only one thinking it but first let me explain why. No worries, I will not spoil anything. The most flagrant observation is the structure of the movie. In fact, it is two movies in one. Even though I was generaly disapointed by the film I must admit that the first half of the movie is not far from a masterpiece. The actors are believable, the composition may not be like in 2001 or clockwork but it is still pleasing to the eye and it is even funny at times. So at the hour mark, I was really excited to see the rest and witness the action. Then came the second part of the movie, we are shipped to Vietnam and follow the actions of our soldier(s) and personnaly i found the story bad. It starts by a presentation of Vietnam made by fellow soldiers which not only present the settings to the main character(s) but also to the viewer who may not be aware of the situation back there. Then, the main character(s) follows a unit and stopped at what may appear a village and it is then that i found the movie straight up boring. Every decisions made by our characters seems artificial and sometimes even unecessary and I even found sometimes writing lazyness at the climax of the film. So, I wrote that post so I can have backgrounds on everyone thoughts, what you guys thought about the movie. Also, this is not a review of the movie since I know that for a review one must not resume the plot of the movie as stipulated in the rules.
Excited to have everyone thoughts on the movies anf have a nice day
