    Full Metal Jacket Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects
    For HIstorical Tuesday this week, Andrew Gordon & Aaron Alexander give their FIRST TIME Reaction, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review for the Biting Vietnam War Epic Directed by Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut) and starring Matthew Modine (Cut Throat Island, The Dark Knight Rises), R. Lee Ermey (Se7en, Toy Story), Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil, Men in Black, Arliss Howard (The Lost World: Jurassic Park), & more!
    Andrew & Aaron React to all the Best Scenes & Most Gripping Moments including The Battle of Hué Scene, The Jelly Donut Scene, Private Pyle's Breakdown Scene, Let Me See Your War Face Scene, Beaten with Soap Scene, The Sniper scene, Shoot Me Scene, Private Pyle Fails Scene, & Beyond.. This film reflects the more harsh & contemplative view of international War Cinema, looking starkly toward the mental toll & human cost incurred by the hell of Combat.

      They beat the magazine on their helmet to make sure the springs are loose to push the rounds up in the chamber when loaded. Sometime they end up going through alot of muck, sand, dirt, and mud which can build up in the magazines and cause the springs to malfunction. Also the scene where they find the bodies was an all too common discovery once the southern vietnam forces/us forces would liberate cities/town from the south vietnamese. They round up anyone who believed would not cooperate or spread doubt about the communist occupation either ship them out to north vietnam prison camps for torture/reducation or just be executed. Vice Versa....one this was done the south vietnamese would implement their own people and local sympathizers as replacement for local leadership and officials. And then the south vietnamese would jail them and execute them as well for being traitors. One of the most infamous piece of media from the war when an ARVN General executed a Viet Cong Captain after part of saigon was liberated. just look up "famous vietnam execution". Its called the Saigon Execution. It was recorded by us war correspondent and played internationally for the whole world to see.

    My dad was a drill instructor at Camp Pendleton (69-71) after he finished a 16 month tour of duty in Vietnam. He says that the boot camp scenes are extremely accurate. I was born in June of 1970 and it’s crazy for me to think that this was his job when I was a baby. 🤯 My mom said he was a very hands on dad, making me breakfast before he left for the drill field and reading to me at bedtime every night. ❤

    Lime is the shortened form of quicklime, which is the common name for calcium carbonate. It's a mineral compound that both masks the smell of a decomposing body & enhances the rate at which said body decomposes. It's often used to try & hide a burial, indicating that an attempt was made to hide that gravesite.

    R Lee Ermy had complete freedom for his drill instructor role. He made up all of that on the spot. Also lime can be used to cover the smell and help slow decomposition of bodies. It was very common to be used in wars where casulaties were high and you needed to bury a lot at once.
    Also if you liked this one, you should definitely check out We Were Soldiers. Its one of my favorite books and Mel Gibson did a damn good job directing and acting in it.

      Not a big deal, but Ermy tossed out a ton of good lines but this wasn't made up on the spot. He sat down with Kubrick and they carefully worked out what would wind up in the script. Kubrick wasn't the sort of fella who could adlib camera angles based on what an actor makes up.
      Ermy came up with his dialogue, true, but it was edited and patiently scripted. There's behind the scenes footage of him and Kubrick sitting down and working on the lines.
      Source: Ermy, himself.

      For music, Kubrick deliberately avoided the typical antiwar and anti-establishment song references that we expect for this genre - the Hendrix, Doors and Byrds type stuff. Kubrick chose the most light hearted, pop culture Top 40 songs of the time.
      Why? He was framing the war as an extension of post WWII American culture and mindset extended into the battlefield. Also, he wanted to powerfully overlay the detached domestic tone back home where the American Public were being spoon fed and digesting nightly updates of this curated war. It was made for TV consumption, "informing" civilians in between all the entertainment, commercials and music they were enjoying in the comfort of their living rooms. They didn't get to see the visual sensory underbelly of it, the dehumanizing and 7th level of hell experiences we're seeing here. It was all edited, sanitized and embedded into the mainstream happenings, so folks could still dance to Bird is the Word without thinking or feeling too much. Just be patriotic that the boys are protecting our lifeways.
      That was the big sell, to convince Americans that what those boys were doing and going through how they were killing and dying, HAD to be the way! So that we could all continue to enjoy our shitty brainless pop songs and banal consumerist culture being threatened by the Reds.

      Mainly because of improper training on how to clean them, and even being told they did not need cleaning.

He either was trained up when he travelled to Russia or he was a patsy as the theories go. Either way it's hilarious given that the Marines would definitely know how good Oswald was at shooting whilst he part of their outfit.
