Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body 
armour?
 Joker: A peace symbol sir.
 Colonel: 
Where'd you get it?
 Joker: I don't remember sir.
 
Colonel: What is that you've got written on your 
helmet?
 Joker: "Born to Kill" sir.
 
Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on you 
helmet, and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of 
sick joke?
 Joker: No, sir.
 Colonel: 
Well what is it supposed to mean?
 Joker: I don't 
know, sir.
 Colonel: You don't know very much 
do you?
 Joker: No sir.
 Colonel: 
You better get your head and your ass wired together or I will take a giant shit 
on you.
 Joker: Yes sir.
 Colonel: 
Now answer my question, or you'll be standing tall before The Man.
 Joker: 
I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man sir.
 Colonel: 
The what?
 Joker: The duality of man, the Jungian 
thing, sir.
 Colonel: Who's side are you on, son?
 
Joker: Our side, sir.
 Colonel: 
Don't you love your country?
 Joker: Yes, sir.
 
Colonel: Well how about getting with the program? 
Why don't you jump on the team and c'mon in for the big win?
 Joker: 
Yes, sir.
 Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of 
my Marines is for them to obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are 
here to help the Vietnamese because inside every gook, there is an American trying 
to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've got to try to keep our heads until 
this peace craze blows over.
          Joker: Aye aye, sir.

 Review: 
"I am in 
a world of shit." The training in the boot camp compels one character to say this 
as he is holding a loaded gun with a demonic face. He’s become a killing machine, 
a body without thought, or has he? This movie is broken up into two phases, the 
boot camp and the Vietnam war. I love the one liners thrown out in the movie and 
so will you, that is if you have a black sense of humor. -Review by Mark Caldwell

 Review: 
Full Metal Jacket is Stanley Kubricks (2001: A Space Odyssey, Eyes Wide Shut, 
Paths of Glory, The Shining) disturbing depiction of the Vietnam War and the process 
that turns people into trained killers. The first half of the film, which takes 
place on a Marine boot-camp (Paris Island), is so captivating you truly can't 
take your eyes off the screen. This brilliance stems from two blistering performances 
by R. Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio. I've read that Ermey was actually a former 
US Marines Drill Instructor who was hired as a consultant on how to drill. He 
performed a demonstration on videotape in which he yelled obscene insults and 
abuse nonstop for fifteen minutes without repeating himself, or even flinching 
(despite being continuously pelted with tennis balls and oranges). Apparently, 
Kubrick saw the tape and cast Ermey on the spot. D'Onofrio's transformation to 
a madman is magnificent. It's obvious from the start that his fuck-ups will be 
a example for Hartman to ridicule. I may be mistaken, but D'Onofrio pulled a DeNiro 
(Raging Bull) by gaining 70 pounds for the role. Pyle's brutal beating by his 
fellow troops and his homicidal/suicidal showdown in the barracks head are two 
of the most gut wrenching scenes I've ever seen. Matthew Modine (Birdy, 
Short Cuts) is quite good and bridges the two halves of the film together. Full 
Metal Jacket was nominated for Best Screenplay Based on Material from another 
medium. -Review by Aaron Caldwell
