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.
Hi, i want see you react to CHiPs from 2017, its a police humor film of the CHP, with Dax Shepard and Michael Peña, maybe Tara likes It,because she likes vehicule movies,because of the wonderful motorcycles(BMW)
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. ❤ He’s 76 now will watch it anytime it’s on tv.
Drill Sergeants don’t lose their voice. They are taught to scream. It’s almost like singing. R. Lee. Emery was supposed to be a technical adviser but when Kuberick saw how he was he made him the drill sergeant. He was also an actual drill sergeant for the Marines.
Whenever I feel like giving up and quitting at anything, I just imaging Hartman screaming at me, " _Are you quitting on ME??? Then QUIT you slimy walrus looking piece of shit!!!!_ "
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.
I remember a report and actual footage of this scene on the BBC evening news. The VC ordered local villagers to dig the mass grave but it was not covered over because executions were still happening until the VC pulled out as the marines approached. Americans put the lime on the corpses to prevent the spread of disease.
@chrisbanks6659 nah, a snowflake is someone who get offended that racist and demeaning language is going out of style. . .I mean, imagine being butt hurt because you can't walk around using slurs freely anymore lol
It was definitely cringe every time they said a slur hearing them groaning and crying about it. I don't think it's cool to call people these things, but don't wince over a movie based in the sixty.
@@alexp601 its just just a theory, but yes. Essentially, the theory is that Pyle didn’t die, he was born again into Animal Lover. They have a similar body structure, they’re both effective with their weapon, and are both crazy. Ofc it’s not true but it’s fun to think about; most people just believe that Animal Mother is who Pyle would’ve become if he didn’t die.
Private "Pyle" was a representation of the 100,000 program of 1966. It reduced standards for the draft to such a degree that the mentally handicapped easily slipped through.
@jasondavis2995 While I completely agree with you the unfortunate reality is that all branches of the military are experiencing a severe recruitment crisis and thus standards are lax.
@@jasondavis2995 It doesn't often happen at all. Standards are reduced off and on, with a specific Branch really reducing at times, but it has never invoked the 100,000.
His name is pronounced ER-MEE! He was an actual Marine drill instructor and was just supposed to be a tech advisor but ended up on camera..... and all the better for it. My grandfather (a Viet Nam vet) and I went to see this in the theater and he had to leave because it was too authentic for his nerves.... which I've heard was said by many other vers who saw this film. Thanks for sharing guys.
Vincent Donofrio is incredible. His filmography goes far beyond The Marvelverse! The 13th floor, Steal this Movie! and not one edgar suit reference for shame!!!!
The tapping of the magazine on something hard (helmet in this case) is to make sure that the rounds are as far towards the back of the magazine. It's supposed to mitigate jamming
R. Lee Ermey was originally hired as a technical advisor. He REALLY wanted to play Hartman. He made Kubrick a TWENTY PLUS MINUTE "demo tape" of himself yelling insults and DIing. He never repeated an insult, per legend. He got cast as Hartman. The actor originally cast as Hartman was recast as the door gunner on the Screaming Mimi helicopter when Joker and Rafterman were flying up to Hue City.
I was in Jr. High in the early 70s. We had to climb the rope every day with a thin foam pad to break a fall. This movie is so intense and is referenced for a lot. And yes, R. Lee Emery the Drill Instructor was indeed a real DI and Marine. His acting career came after this performance.
I would also suggest watching, "The Boys in Company C." That movie is where I first saw R. Lee Emery. It came out in 1978 and I thought his performance in that film as a drill instructor felt VERY real.
R. Lee Ermey was the real deal! His story is the best one from this film! "This is my rifle, this is my gun..." is my ringtone! 😂😂😂 RIP to one of the greats!
"Did your parents have any children that lived?!" I'll never not die laughing at the sheer abruptness of that line. I'm one of the people that watch only the boot camp portion of the movie. I think I've only finished this movie three times. XD
Dude in the Red ruins most reactions.. talking to my buddy about how all he does is talk about what other films or shows the cast has been while reacting and then I fast forward and of course land right in the middle of him trying to remember something that someone was in... 😂🤦♂️
USMC Vet here, the boot camp scenes are pretty accurate! But Private Pile would have been gone fairly quick, we started out with 65 recruits in our platoon finished with 48 for graduation, remember Marines have two birthday’s NOV 10th (founding of the Marine Crops) and the day your born. I’m 68 now and still remember boot camp. Semper Fi
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. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
Lime does NOT slow down decomp. It is literally used to speed up decomp. It is highly acidic and would burn you almost immediately if you got it on your skin. Especially if moister is present.
This platoon, Born on the 4th of July, Hamburger Hill, 84 Charlie Mopic, & Casualties of war were the movies that displays the horrors and triumphs of the Vietnam War.
One of the nuances that gets ignored is how animal mother shows signs of being racist, but as soon as something happens to 8Ball he’s willing to sacrifice everything to save him.
Don't remember where I heard this, but someone once mentioned that the music in this movie is supposed to feel out of place, just like the US in Vietnam
@@Nick_Barone True but I think it meant the song's relation to the scene. How upsetting the scene is vs how upbeat the music is; like it just doesn't fit the vibe at all
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.
In answer to your question, quicklime is used to reduce putrefaction in corpses, helping to mitigate diseases and the smell associated with decomposition. As such, it makes it useful for creating mass graves - one of the reasons it's been used since the early Iron Age.
@@Falcun21 Same. I've only known it to be called a "blanket party" I was in in the late 90's early 2000's, but it never happened during the time I was in [as far as I know]. Hazing was highly punishable... If reported...
IKR? Magnetism depolarized to the max. Snowflakes. Prob don't know s*** about the Vietnam War. I'm 61 and British but know enough......... and it wasn't even our war!!!!
@@hoodieso8858 How were they out of touch and smug? I'm almost 40 and didn't see it that way, they knew a few of the actors names and referenced their previous works of art.
I graduated from Parris Island in November of 1986 and drill instructors never run out of material. Ermey just played himself with all of the experience he had. This movie was filmed in England and is an outstanding anti-war film by Kubrick. Marines qualify with their rifle from distances of 200, 300 and 500 yards.
When they tap the magazine on their helmets its to help them align the rounds with the flat back of the magazine that feeds into the rifle. When the rounds are flush with the magazine it exponentially reduces the risk of a weapon malfunction. Also it's not glue tied to their helmets, it's weapon lubricant.
Section 8, basically a way to discharge a soldier due to physiological issues, you be surprised how many can;t cut it, when I went through basic annd AIT we had 4 section 8 they typically started on sucide watch and then were discharge due to mental problems
@@Ryan_Christopher to be honest i don't remeber have not been in the miltary and have not had to think about any UCMJ or Army Regulations since 1999 sure i could google it or use Ai and get the asnwer but really I don;t want to, and I find most of my regulation and UCMJ incidents are best left forgotten lol
Actually, section 8 is a medical discharge, straight across the board. That doesn't apply to combat related physical injuries, but it is more than just psychological. If someone is on liberty, and crushes a leg in a vehicle accident, it could go section 8, depending on circumstances.
I love watching millennials and gen z people get all offended and upset at words. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, we laughed at such language. Now the younger generations cry about it.
Thank God for Andrew. Without him there would be no way to find out which actors are playing in this movie and what other movies they might have been in. No way at all.
I saw the thumbnail and got so excited. It's the war duo watching another phenomenal war movie. This one is different from the rest. It's not as much focused on the war. It's more focused on the people. The first half of the movie feels like a different world, and I feel that's intentional. Subversion of the protagonist. Love you guys!
Others can comment but you will never hear more insults and racist jokes from ALL sides towards all sides than in the military and that is because they are beyond friends. Its true friends give each other 💩
@@johnwinters9030 yep. Just to be clear I never served. Had my AF academy application filled out but then couldn’t fly due to eyesight. I’ve just read a lot and watched of military guys talk about it. Full Metal Jacket also shows this.
Aaron, should work more on using less words when explaining something we already know, and also refrain from re-enacting what you literally just saw on the screen. It would make your reactions much more entertaining and less cringey.
My father was a marine and this movie was by far his favorite military movie ,all the things that was said was really what they would say at paris island. The rifle poem is literally the opening of his annual
The problem isn't that Andrew makes too many Wilson Fisk references, but rather that it's the only thing he has to offer in a lot of these videos. He only really seems comfortable when he can link an actor or moment to something else in pop culture. The people he's paired with are often invested in the movie and reacting to what is going on, while Andrew is just waiting to list off an actor's IMDb page.
Yup you nailed on the head. I’m not invested in anything I’m ever watching whether it’s me getting excited in action sequences or crying in dramatic sequences, I’m just here to name things actors were in…. Thanks!!!
@@martinlatour9311 this isn’t constructive it’s bullshit and I disagree with it and I’m going to defend it so no I will not “move on.” If anyone here has anything constructive to say I’m all for it but the point this person is saying is all I do is name shit other people are in and references which I’m not going to lie I do that but that’s not the only thing I do but thanks for telling me what I should do, appreciate it!
As a Disabled Combat Veteran I am disheartened by your naivety towards understanding what service is. What it entails and what it requires from the individual. Maybe we should all experience a taste of what it feels like to be a part of something larger than yourself. To be. To thrive and advance as a group. Maybe something like this is what society lacks. I wish you well, young sirs. Exercise your liberties and be safe.
Do you two people understand what a draft is ? These soldiers did not have a choice to inlist, I find it insulting that you don't even know anything about the Vietnam war , that's basic highschool level history. This is the reason history repeats itself.
I find it insulting that you speak so confidently about something that you are mostly wrong about. Maybe try doing a little research yourself before insulting other's intelligence. A quick Google search will show that, even during Vietnam, the vast majority of Marines were volunteers. Only something like 10% were drafted (most went to the Army).
17:53 a few good men got it wrong. It wasn’t called a code red but it was a blanket party. At least that’s what it was called in 1987 when I went to boot camp.
R. Lee Ermey served in the Marine Corps as a Drill Instructor during the Vietnam War. I went to Marine Corps Recruit Training in San Diego, CA from Oct 2011- Jan 2012. All Marine recruits have at least three Drill Instructors who act similar to this
There's a reason Sir Winston Churchill said "jaw jaw is better than war war"... because there are no winners in war. Even the 'victors' are left with ruins, disabilities, PTSD & trauma.
God! i love to watch far left woke snow flakes react to this great damn movie because it messes with there crazy emotions they dont know to either like are hate this movie.🤣🤣🤨😳👍
It might be hard to believe but it’s the truth and you are free to believe whatever you’d like. I’m always transparent about movies I’ve seen before. There are some upcoming reactions that I mention before the reaction that I’ve seen before so take that for what you will
You tap the magazine on your helmet, or any object, to seat the rounds against the rear edge of the magazine. It helps prevent jams by making sure all the rounds are properly aligned as they are feed into the chamber of the rifle.
Maybe not the whole "murder suicide" part, but definitely the whole pushing a recruit/private until they completely break. We had a guy in my basic training who, long story short, broke after receiving "personal attention" by the Drill Sergeants. One night, I got woken up to the sound of the door alarm going off and the firewatch guy screaming "He's going to jump! Don't do it! DON'T DO IT!" We were on the 2nd or 3rd floor iirc and it took a few of our biggest dudes to pull him off the railing and back into the bay. Never saw him again after that.
No, it absolutely does not. "Pyle" represented the 100,000 program of 1966 for Vietnam. How insulting that you say that this happens more often than people think.
Tapping the magazine on the helmet ensures that the rounds in the mag are seated to the rear of the mag, and feed properly into the rifle, and lower risk of feed problems and jams.

My library includes "Flight of the Intruder", because I am a plane nerd.
@@scotthewitt258 Deep ass cut for *_Flight of the intruder_*
He said a full metal jacket would be pretty heavy, I DIED! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know right, I rewinded it and watched it again..😂😂
One of the nuances that gets ignored is how animal mother shows signs of being racist, but as soon as something happens to 8Ball he’s willing to sacrifice everything to save him.
Racist?? Please explain.
@@johnbrodnik839please explain how he's not. . .
8ball and animal mother are friends they joke with each other. Friends make fun of each other in the military or police force to cope with the job
Actually watch the movie maybe...
To see ppl from this Generation reacting to movies from my generation is the funniest shit ever.😂😂😂
Don't remember where I heard this, but someone once mentioned that the music in this movie is supposed to feel out of place, just like the US in Vietnam
Not sure if that’s true or not, but all the music is what the soldiers would have been listening to. It’s all timely accurate
@@Nick_Barone True but I think it meant the song's relation to the scene. How upsetting the scene is vs how upbeat the music is; like it just doesn't fit the vibe at all
@@JCShadow0202 ahh! Ok….Yes, I can see that
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.
The stuff in his helmet was not glue lmao 🤣 it's bug oil, like "OFF"
Damn. I tried to answer, and didn't think of DEET!
In answer to your question, quicklime is used to reduce putrefaction in corpses, helping to mitigate diseases and the smell associated with decomposition. As such, it makes it useful for creating mass graves - one of the reasons it's been used since the early Iron Age.

@@K-dawg26 3rd attempt at reply. Oh, I tried, it got censored by the YT thought-police.
I was surprised that Donofrio was in Adventures in Babysitting as (a thin) “Thor” the mechanic. He was also great The Magnificent Seven (2016)
Yup and Babysitting and full metal came out the same year 87
That’s what we call a blanket party
That's what my dad, a Marine that went in in 1954 called it. I didn't hear the term Code Red until A Few Good Men.
@@Falcun21 Same. I've only known it to be called a "blanket party" I was in in the late 90's early 2000's, but it never happened during the time I was in [as far as I know]. Hazing was highly punishable... If reported...
Navy calls them sockpartys.
Correct! I was stationed in Guantanamo Bay in '87-'88 and I never heard the term "Code Red" used.
88-92 Sand Hill Basic.....Blanket party....
Who the hell let these two children watch this movie made for adults?
IKR? Magnetism depolarized to the max. Snowflakes. Prob don't know s*** about the Vietnam War. I'm 61 and British but know enough......... and it wasn't even our war!!!!
We all got to start somewhere
Children? They appear to be in their 30s. Are you in your 80's or something?
@@NSUserName He meant mentally. He's saying they're out of touch and smug.
@@hoodieso8858 How were they out of touch and smug? I'm almost 40 and didn't see it that way, they knew a few of the actors names and referenced their previous works of art.
I graduated from Parris Island in November of 1986 and drill instructors never run out of material. Ermey just played himself with all of the experience he had. This movie was filmed in England and is an outstanding anti-war film by Kubrick. Marines qualify with their rifle from distances of 200, 300 and 500 yards.
Rafterman: "Hey Joker, we ought to put you up for the congressional medal of... UGLY!" Ha-ha! Donlon : "Hard core, man, f***ing hard core!"
the lack of knowledge you two muppets have exhibited is scary and slightly insulting -- did they teach you anything in school?
Thanks appreciate it 🙏
Perhaps you would be happier if you f**ked off. . .
i mean they know what every actor is lol
In the Army, we called what they did to Pvt. Pyle a "blanket party".
Fun fact: Ermey wrote 150 PAGES of insults. Just for this. Absolute legend.
When they tap the magazine on their helmets its to help them align the rounds with the flat back of the magazine that feeds into the rifle. When the rounds are flush with the magazine it exponentially reduces the risk of a weapon malfunction.
Also it's not glue tied to their helmets, it's weapon lubricant.
Section 8, basically a way to discharge a soldier due to physiological issues, you be surprised how many can;t cut it, when I went through basic annd AIT we had 4 section 8 they typically started on sucide watch and then were discharge due to mental problems
Psychological issues, not physiological. Mental/emotional, not physical.
Yeah but Section 8 of which Regulation/Publication?
@@Ryan_Christopher to be honest i don't remeber have not been in the miltary and have not had to think about any UCMJ or Army Regulations since 1999 sure i could google it or use Ai and get the asnwer but really I don;t want to, and I find most of my regulation and UCMJ incidents are best left forgotten lol
@@troms2343 Not physiological. Psychological. Very, very different.
Actually, section 8 is a medical discharge, straight across the board. That doesn't apply to combat related physical injuries, but it is more than just psychological. If someone is on liberty, and crushes a leg in a vehicle accident, it could go section 8, depending on circumstances.
I love watching millennials and gen z people get all offended and upset at words. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, we laughed at such language. Now the younger generations cry about it.
So fuckin' true.
How old do you think millennials are?

Thank God for Andrew. Without him there would be no way to find out which actors are playing in this movie and what other movies they might have been in. No way at all.
Yeah. I didn't need the full credit list for everyone in the cast.
I was looking forward to a movie reaction, not theater course credit.
I saw the thumbnail and got so excited. It's the war duo watching another phenomenal war movie. This one is different from the rest. It's not as much focused on the war. It's more focused on the people. The first half of the movie feels like a different world, and I feel that's intentional. Subversion of the protagonist. Love you guys!
Are you guys a couple?
That's what I was wondering.
@7:50 when hes slapping Pyle, Ermey didnt mean to, and kinda scared him because "Vince is a big boy", but Vince carried on the scene like a champ!
Others can comment but you will never hear more insults and racist jokes from ALL sides towards all sides than in the military and that is because they are beyond friends. Its true friends give each other 💩
Ive given up trying to explain this to people who have never served. They will never understand it. Guess you had to have been there.
@@johnwinters9030 yep. Just to be clear I never served. Had my AF academy application filled out but then couldn’t fly due to eyesight. I’ve just read a lot and watched of military guys talk about it. Full Metal Jacket also shows this.
10:04 I love it when people who have seen eyes wide shut and some of the shining suddenly become Stanley Kubrick experts.
Aaron, should work more on using less words when explaining something we already know, and also refrain from re-enacting what you literally just saw on the screen. It would make your reactions much more entertaining and less cringey.
Did my basic training at Bassingbourne Barracks where they shot all the bootcamp scenes 😊
Dude stop referencing other movies bc Aaron ain’t seen shit! 😂
There are about 8 or 10 major, essential Vietnam movies and every one of them shows a different war. Taken together they make a picture.
Law and Order Criminal Intent was the first time I discovered Vincent D’Onoforio. Been a fan ever since.
My father was a marine and this movie was by far his favorite military movie ,all the things that was said was really what they would say at paris island. The rifle poem is literally the opening of his annual
These two dudes watching this are so soy it’s sad.
I agree!
He said “ is he gonna pee on him?”
Like what the 😳
35:30. Am I the only one that laughed at "you just don't lead em so much"? 😂😂😂😂
I watched this for the cringe coming off the both of you.
One of the truest comments I've read in the last 6 months. Kudos.
lol reactions to this movie always bring out the keyboard warriors
The problem isn't that Andrew makes too many Wilson Fisk references, but rather that it's the only thing he has to offer in a lot of these videos. He only really seems comfortable when he can link an actor or moment to something else in pop culture. The people he's paired with are often invested in the movie and reacting to what is going on, while Andrew is just waiting to list off an actor's IMDb page.
Yup you nailed on the head. I’m not invested in anything I’m ever watching whether it’s me getting excited in action sequences or crying in dramatic sequences, I’m just here to name things actors were in…. Thanks!!!
@@andrewgordon7662 take the criticism and move on
@@martinlatour9311 this isn’t constructive it’s bullshit and I disagree with it and I’m going to defend it so no I will not “move on.” If anyone here has anything constructive to say I’m all for it but the point this person is saying is all I do is name shit other people are in and references which I’m not going to lie I do that but that’s not the only thing I do but thanks for telling me what I should do, appreciate it!
As a Disabled Combat Veteran I am disheartened by your naivety towards understanding what service is. What it entails and what it requires from the individual. Maybe we should all experience a taste of what it feels like to be a part of something larger than yourself. To be. To thrive and advance as a group. Maybe something like this is what society lacks. I wish you well, young sirs. Exercise your liberties and be safe.
These are the same people that don't where their freedoms come from..
R . Lee Ermey was an actual drill Sgt in Vietnam and Vincent was on the receiving end of whats called a soap party 👍👍
Do you two people understand what a draft is ? These soldiers did not have a choice to inlist, I find it insulting that you don't even know anything about the Vietnam war , that's basic highschool level history. This is the reason history repeats itself.
I find it insulting that you speak so confidently about something that you are mostly wrong about. Maybe try doing a little research yourself before insulting other's intelligence. A quick Google search will show that, even during Vietnam, the vast majority of Marines were volunteers. Only something like 10% were drafted (most went to the Army).
17:53 a few good men got it wrong. It wasn’t called a code red but it was a blanket party. At least that’s what it was called in 1987 when I went to boot camp.
“I am become Death” is from the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu spiritual text. It’s always mistakenly attributed to Oppenheimer.
Thank you. I knew someone was going to pick up on that, that's why I didn't bother replying to the comment.
I first watched this movie when I was 11 around midnight. The sound track when in certain messed up scenes still gives me goosebumps
Nice review of every part that every actor in this movie has been in.
R. Lee Ermey served in the Marine Corps as a Drill Instructor during the Vietnam War. I went to Marine Corps Recruit Training in San Diego, CA from Oct 2011- Jan 2012. All Marine recruits have at least three Drill Instructors who act similar to this
GOD IT'S TOO MUCH, STOP SAYING EMRY!
Sorry. Spell check.
There's a reason Sir Winston Churchill said "jaw jaw is better than war war"... because there are no winners in war.
Even the 'victors' are left with ruins, disabilities, PTSD & trauma.
Fun fact you guys missed: Vincent D'onofrio also played Kingpin in the MCU
Damn I should have mentioned that. My bad
@@andrewgordon7662 we all have our off days, don’t beat yourself up about it Andrew 😆😅
These 2 would be first to die in Vietnam
Section 8 basically means mentally unfit for duty.
You guys might think some of the things the drill sergeant focuses on is small, but we are taught "Attention to Detail." You must a machine.
- you hit the mag on your helmet to set the rounds straight, so you won't double feed causing a weapon jam
, as you were
44 years old and I remember watching this when I was 8 with my buddy. We are an insane generation lol
Those white bottles that the soldiers had to their helmets were mosquito repellent
I love how everyone who watches this movie, is laughing until Hartman chokes Lawrence. Sh*t takes a dark turn from then on.
God! i love to watch far left woke snow flakes react to this great damn movie because it messes with there crazy emotions they dont know to either like are hate this movie.🤣🤣🤨😳👍
58:32 THAT NVA sniper just killed your fellow Marines and friends!!! 🚫😭 for her!!!!
I swear this really feels like 2 separate movies
"They're going on the offensive." Yes indeed, they did go on the offensive, during Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. One might say it was a Tet Offensive.
You guys need to watch A Bridge Too Far (1977) - the cast is insane and directed by Richard Attenborough
"Period accurate i guess..." oh you poor summer child...(etc)
It's hard to believe that 2 movie buffs like yourselves have never seen Full Metal Jacket. 😂😅
It might be hard to believe but it’s the truth and you are free to believe whatever you’d like. I’m always transparent about movies I’ve seen before. There are some upcoming reactions that I mention before the reaction that I’ve seen before so take that for what you will
You tap the magazine on your helmet, or any object, to seat the rounds against the rear edge of the magazine. It helps prevent jams by making sure all the rounds are properly aligned as they are feed into the chamber of the rifle.
The sad part about piles story is that this happens more often than you think
Maybe not the whole "murder suicide" part, but definitely the whole pushing a recruit/private until they completely break.
We had a guy in my basic training who, long story short, broke after receiving "personal attention" by the Drill Sergeants. One night, I got woken up to the sound of the door alarm going off and the firewatch guy screaming "He's going to jump! Don't do it! DON'T DO IT!"
We were on the 2nd or 3rd floor iirc and it took a few of our biggest dudes to pull him off the railing and back into the bay.
Never saw him again after that.
@@donovanb9020 and people who make jokes about military think they’re better
No, it absolutely does not. "Pyle" represented the 100,000 program of 1966 for Vietnam. How insulting that you say that this happens more often than people think.
Back then when they didn’t do anything about mental health.
Do they still try to break you like that in basic?
Very funny you say “they are on the OFFENSIVE” during the scene depicting the Tet Offensive
I remember watching this on VHS back in the day
. Bad ass movie.
Tapping the magazine on the helmet ensures that the rounds in the mag are seated to the rear of the mag, and feed properly into the rifle, and lower risk of feed problems and jams.
R Lee Ermey has pointed out that drill sergeant Hartman is actually an awful drill sergeant, which explains a lot.
Great reaction guys. As a Marine I’ve always loved this movie. I like Platoon more even though it’s Army. 😊👏👏🥰 Semper Fi.
This is actually supposed to be 1967
