FUCK this movie rules so hard

Seeing it a second time in a few months didn’t really change my opinion. It’s pretty funny but overall just meh. Best line: “we sure didn’t mean to influence anybody”

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Kubrick has a way of making terribleness seem entertaining. The drill sergeant is a huge asshole but damn some of his insults are pretty funny.

First time noticing that Joker’s comment about the prostitutes also being enemy soldiers is a setup for the sniper scene.

The shot framing in the sniper assault is awesome and the fire-lit scenes towards the end are next-level. I don’t think Kubrick intentionally referenced other directors in his movies much but that orange sun during the early boot camp scene has to be a reference to Apocalypse Now.
