The tool does what the heart behind says to. That goes for guns, hammers, everything really. What he means is, anyone can hold a gun, but if the heart behind the gun ain't willing to kill, it won't kill. If the heart behind the gun is ready to kill, it will kill. Wether that's good or bad, it's the same thing.
Blue Moon218 it’s a tool with a singular purpose, killing. And small caliber weapons chambered in .223 or smaller obviously have no use in sport/sustenance hunting or home defense so if gonna talk about GC let’s be realistic, now.
Yeah, it's really to just train you on the very basics. Marching, basic marksmanship, etc. It's also used to break you from civilian habits and condition you for military service. It's when you get to your actual unit where you learn combat skills and train, based upon what type of unit you're in. i.e. mechanized, airborne, air assault, cavalry, and so on.
You should read the book it's based on, "The Short Timers" by Gustav Hasford. Kubrick had to tone it down considerably to get it on the screen, it's an even crazier read than the movie, but you just can't show the audience a man and his water buffalo getting run over by an inattentive tank driver, now can you?
HolyknightVader999 this movie is anti war with the racism and dehumanization of war. The scene of the us helicopter gunner shooting and killing civilians was one example.
HolyknightVader999 Indeed, this is the only war film I can think of that is embraced by both anti-war folks and those who served in combat. An amazing accomplishment that only Stanley Kubrick could have pulled off.
It's a really nice touch that Private Cowboy knows the answer because he was from Texas. He probably got all the local news reports when Whitman went nuts at UT and climbed the tower on campus and started shooting people.
@@kalebseiler8577 boot camp is nothing compared to the experience of the next 3 to 6 years in the Marine Corps. Some will hate and it some will cherish it.
@Randall Mellott kicked like a mule on auto fire too, and the ammo was also a good deal heavier. I read that it wasn't just a fault in the M16 it was also a fault in the powder type used in the rounds in the early years of production and in doctrine for maintenance. Apparently some genius decided to tell the troops the gun was self cleaning and didn't need to be cleaned. The ammo rounds also initially issued used stick(extruded) powder instead of ball powder and stick powder was incompatible with the weapon. Once they fix the ammo problem, got the troops to start cleaning them on a regular basis and made a couple of upgrades in the A2 and A3 version it became a much better weapon.
When Pyle was in the head pointing a loaded M-14 at Hartmann, I wonder if he thought to himself, "maybe slapping Private Pyle that time, wasn't such a good idea."
Apparently R Lee Ermy thought that Hartman was a bad DI and that a good one would have recognized that Pyle was about to snap and gotten him the Hell out of there. In the very beginning of the movie in his first speech Hartman says his orders are to weed out any non hackers who are not fit to serve in his beloved Corp. That being the case Pyle should have been weeded out with a Section 8 and discharged.
When the movie came out-I went & saw it-by myself-THANK GOD. I literally was in hysterics thru the whole boot camp sequence-having myself gone thru boot in 1980-I can attest to it's spot on accuracy. Folks in the theater thought I was nuts. Best portrayal of Marine Corps boot camp -and yes-it DID happen !
It's more of a severe look than aged. He looks rock hard. Pyle had to shoot him in the chest and hget an instant kill. Otherwise Hartman would have charged him, taken the gun and shot him back, all without saying "ouch".
They are so rude and mean to everyone. What's the USMC's history? Where did they spawn from. The Revolution? Shirking real battle to guard ships? In the Civil War they were a no factor. Meanwhile the National Guard had been fighting and protecting since the 1630's. Belleau Wood, a brigade detachment. Nothing to with protecting Paris or cracking the Hidenburg line. or St. Quentin. Whatever though. They really came from nowhere. And act like the authority. Not to harp, I just disagree with just about everything. They are suppose to help those become better husbands, sons, fathers and brothers. But instead they do everything wrong
@@RobertSmith-xt4ms If you think recruits are there to be better husbandsor sons. They are rifleman first. You are a grade A idiot. Don't add not to harp or anything like that. You did this specifically to "harp". It is the same as going " no offense" after saying something horribly offensive. If you have a problem with any branch of the military, that is a you problem. No need to be disrespectful towards those branches outwardly.
@@RobertSmith-xt4ms The marine corp has been around since before the United States become united. November 10th, 1775 is the birthday of the Marine corp. I'm afraid you have been misinformed. Marines are not meant to become better husbands or fathers, they are trained to become killers.
The one and only glaring drawback to this flick is that it was filmed at a military base in England. For those of you who were PI Marines note not a single palmetto tree in sight. Still...if you want to see what Marine Corps boot camp was like in the 60's and 70's...this is the best and most accurate portrayal ever done.
Filmed in Bassingbourne Barracks. I know, cos I did my training there. The bit you see on the left hand side all boarded up, was a red phone box. They had to make it 'disappear', otherwise it would have made it too obvious it was filmed in England. Incidentally, the building on the left was the Cookhouse/NAAFI.
The graduation scene was filmed on the parade deck on PI. You could see the elevated steam pipes prevalent in the background. One thing that always bothered me was Private Pyle was in front of his squad while marching or running while Gunny was calling cadence. This would have made him squad leader. 4 squads, 1 platoon. I highly doubt the Gunny would afford a screwup like Pyle the honor of squad leader.
I met a man like him, in junior high no less! Colonel Robert B "Pappy" Nett, industrial arts teacher at Fort Jr High school. If he saw us goofing off, he'd yell "Quit dickin' around!" He was a well known man with celebrity status in our town, and was greatly missed when he passed. As a kid I never truly understood I was in the presence of a legendary hero. Now...I get it. RIP Col Nett, the greatest soldier I've ever met
In basic training one of my drill sergeants was a battle hardened Ranger... i’m not saying he was this man, but he was goddamn close. His favorite cadence was, airborne ranger on a one-way trip😄
You want to know what he's saying? It's a marching cadence, it's suppose to help the recruits march in line. The Drill Instructor is saying "left,right,left,right......"
Nothing is more awesome . When I finished army btms. Then got out the drill book and moved forward from potty scrubber. To Sargent and moved a block of soldiers (40) around the quad. In full sync. It sent chills down my spine. Sgt williams (ret)
It's funny during boot camp you hate it it's a miserable time but you always reminisce back on it with your buddies like it was the best time in the world

Wow the comments are amazing, as a veteran I see the need for some of this , but see how it got out of hand for this poor country boy and the others who were with him
I grew up with a real rough kid who was in and out of reform schools and really good with his fists. He did time in a military prison and was given a dishonorable discharge from the Marine Corps for knocking his Drill Instructor on his ass. That was way back in 1958/59. Hence, it's not always like the movies. Sometimes the bad guys win.
I went through P.I. in 1970. The big blooper I see in this (and I'm surprised R. Lee didn't correct it) is recruits saying "I". We were required to refer to ourselves as "the private" as in "Sir, the private doesn't know, sir!" as opposed to "Sir, I don't know, sir". Using the term "I" resulted in a very unpleasant correction to our terminology which demonstrated physically what an "I" (eye) really is.
I went through in July/November of 1971 Plt. 163 Alpha Co. 1st Bn. I avoided the Quonset hut experience but did get to try out the 1-day motivation platoon for snapping my trigger housing group back in prematurely during rifle instruction. Not because I was a chronic offender, I just happened to be the "example" of the day. Oh, the memories! And no, wouldn't change a thing!
Mick Funny, no, at that point the war was winding down, the closest I ever got to Viet Nam was Okinawa in November of 1974 - January 1976. I along with everyone else in Bn. watched the chaotic evacuation from Saigon on the AFRTS tv station there on Okinawa. I always felt badly about never being allowed to "do my part" until I was told by a few men who had really been there that I was lucky to NOT have been sent. I didn't understand at first, since I was young and had no clue what he meant. I have learned since that they were correct. I've seen and heard the horror stories of some of the survivors of that "police action", and although I still regret to some degree NOT being sent, I understand why they told me what they did.
Pile Pille? (or however tf you spell it). That freaking guy turned out to be Solomon Gold (aka Solomon Grundy [Born on a Mondy]) on Gotham! Annndddd Freakin Fisk on Daredevil, Hawkeye and Echo!!!! That dude (Vincent D.) Is literally one of my favorite actors! Just thinking this was one of his (if not the one) breakthrough role(s) is Incredible to me! Solid movie! Solid actors! Solid Military Coordinator with "Gunny", Solid Director! 👌 The whole thing is a work of *Bloody* Art! Lol
I remember saying in an interview that he did tbat to all the real "private Pyles" out there and after that they would know left from right for the rest of their lifes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I served in the Marines from 70-74, but I went through the Army's Military Police School at Ft. Gordon, Ga. (Nine Marines in my company, everyone else was Army or N.G.) It amused the hell out of me that we used the 'Country Joe and the Fish' anti-war "Vietnam Song" as a marching cadence. Never would have heard that in the Corps but it worked surprisingly well.
I took Army. JROTC for 3 years 1982-1985 & joined the Boys Drill Team. Them riffles are almost 9 ibs & partcupated in Fort Ord & love sining jodies in formation!

I went through P.I. in 1970. The big blooper I see in this (and I'm surprised R. Lee didn't correct it) is recruits saying "I". We were required to refer to ourselves as "the private" as in "Sir, the private doesn't know, sir!" as opposed to "Sir, I don't know, sir". Using the term "I" resulted in a very unpleasant correction to our terminology which demonstrated physically what an "I" (eye) really is.
Tom Justis Really? I thought you couldn’t say “I” because it signals selfishness of a recruit.
I went through in July/November of 1971 Plt. 163 Alpha Co. 1st Bn. I avoided the Quonset hut experience but did get to try out the 1-day motivation platoon for snapping my trigger housing group back in prematurely during rifle instruction. Not because I was a chronic offender, I just happened to be the "example" of the day. Oh, the memories! And no, wouldn't change a thing!
Tom Justis you forgot the fact that you call him drill instructor instead of sir
Alti2de did you end up in Nam🤔
Mick Funny, no, at that point the war was winding down, the closest I ever got to Viet Nam was Okinawa in November of 1974 - January 1976. I along with everyone else in Bn. watched the chaotic evacuation from Saigon on the AFRTS tv station there on Okinawa. I always felt badly about never being allowed to "do my part" until I was told by a few men who had really been there that I was lucky to NOT have been sent. I didn't understand at first, since I was young and had no clue what he meant. I have learned since that they were correct. I've seen and heard the horror stories of some of the survivors of that "police action", and although I still regret to some degree NOT being sent, I understand why they told me what they did.
Is there anything more motivating in the world than having an excellent drill sergeant turn the radio on during a cadence run?
Pile Pille? (or however tf you spell it).
That freaking guy turned out to be Solomon Gold (aka Solomon Grundy [Born on a Mondy]) on Gotham! Annndddd Freakin Fisk on Daredevil, Hawkeye and Echo!!!! That dude (Vincent D.) Is literally one of my favorite actors! Just thinking this was one of his (if not the one) breakthrough role(s) is Incredible to me! Solid movie! Solid actors! Solid Military Coordinator with "Gunny", Solid Director! 👌 The whole thing is a work of *Bloody* Art! Lol
Pyle
Stop watching videos and get a job
Roald Lee Ermey (Sgt. Hartmann) was some 43 years old in the movie... it is strange, I thought he was something like 50-55.
there are only two types of people who could ever know what a marine is. a fellow Marine, or the enemy
The way how Private Pyle is sucking his thumb while walking with his pants down is fucking hysterical
I remember saying in an interview that he did tbat to all the real "private Pyles" out there and after that they would know left from right for the rest of their lifes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can just tell the DI is having the time if his life 😂
RIP GUNNY
Yeah those were the best days of my life by a light year. After I got out I woke up (DUH!) and realized that the grass isn't always greener....
Girls: OMG I hate PT.
Boys:
You joke like this, at least make it funny
RUclips YT And what’s your point? Be original and make up your own comment instead of doing copy paste.
Nice to finally notice that they were in the 3rd Recruit Training Battalion. My Battalion.
Army cadences were just as fun.
I served in the Marines from 70-74, but I went through the Army's Military Police School at Ft. Gordon, Ga. (Nine Marines in my company, everyone else was Army or N.G.) It amused the hell out of me that we used the 'Country Joe and the Fish' anti-war "Vietnam Song" as a marching cadence. Never would have heard that in the Corps but it worked surprisingly well.
So you did that on purpose you want to be different
Tbh, Navy & Marine PT cadences are the best, hands down.
The drill Sgt in the movie was actually a real drill Sgt in the Marine Corp
And he passed away 2 yrs. ago. Semper Fi Gunny.
WoW I'm 65 So I Was A Young Boy During Viet Nam The Structure Of Boot Camp Is Electrifying LEE ERMEY WAS ICONIC
can someone caption the very last scene? its been stuck in my head for WEEKS and i wanna know the actual words to it
Ryan Hosey, stuck in my head for years! WTF cadence is that?!? LOL I like that scene also
War.....can change a man!!!
My goodness, and I thought I was the only one...
"Left, Right or Left, Right, Left, Right or Left!"
Not joking, marching cadence directing which foot should be hitting the ground.
Love this movie. Always want to run after watching this
“1 2 3 4 I love the Marine Corps
Eskimo pussy is mighty cold
MinecraftMan 21 no, that’s talking about the raping of Eskimo women.
Brings back memories when I went
U. S. Marines have the best uniforms of any military in the world. Glad I joined the U. S. Army.
RoatanDoug Did you serve or are you still enlisted?
Uhm ? You said marines but then you said army ..
Have you seen any regiment in the UK army. The guards, for example
I took Army. JROTC for 3 years 1982-1985 & joined the Boys Drill Team. Them riffles are almost 9 ibs & partcupated in Fort Ord & love sining jodies in formation!
Great training for mindless drones.
Wrong again, drone. Military training reinforces teamwork (among other attributes) - something you clearly know nothing about.
