Full Metal Jacket (1987)

François Truffaut once claimed that a true anti-war film is impossible. Perhaps. All of cinema is exploitation, so I think that’s a silly hill to die on when looking at earnest efforts in the genre. But even if that is true, Stanley Kubrick is the best of the bunch at making them. I count at least four from his brief filmography among this loose can(n)on. If Paths of Glory deconstructs the construct of “courage,” if Barry Lyndon emphasizes that warfare has been the plaything of the elite since time immemorial, if Dr Strangelove underlines emphatically the insanity of it all, this is the most cynical entry. Warfare is a fetish. Men grasp both of their pieces at the behest of a surrogate father figure in a homoerotic situation all while faggotry is the highest of all crimes. A man is at his best when he is an instrument of war and serves his purpose in killing both himself and his commanding officer. You can scream all you want but you���re still some dumb asshole with a slug in your chest at the end of the day. Men are meat and ideology is meaningless. If Vietnam was the most pointless war for Kubrick’s generation, this is his most comprehensive statement in the matter.

There’s something about the cross-fades and general abruptness in the editing which renders this all the more effective. Nothing matters. Scenes simply fade away, both cementing the drumming down on the recruits and building up their indoctrination and rendering utterly meaningless anything that happens onscreen. Acts of violence are half carried out, simply vanishing before the eye. Who fucking cares? This man lies dead, but it doesn’t matter. These killing machines are just doing their job. The film gives the impression that it doesn’t care, but the attention to detail is still there: at any key point of conflict between Hartman and Lawrence, Joker is also present in frame, implicated in his guilt in some form or other. While other directors might disguise their hard-on for violence in a so-called anti-war film, this one seems genuinely exhausted and baffled by everything that unfolds onscreen.

You do not understand the heart eyes I develop as soon as I see a Slasher actor in a non-Slasher movie. In the wild, you could say😂😂

What's your least favorite most favorite tank?

A tank that you love, but that you know isn't that good?

Well, that would probably be the Renault FT-17. Revolutionary for its time, but antiquated soon after. However, I remember seeing this tank on an episode of "Lock n' Load with R. Lee Ermey" and I fell in love. If you'd have asked me what I was gonna be when I grew up from the age of about 9 to 15, when I started to become disillusioned with the US government, I would have told you I was going to be a tanker, and the FT-17 was responsible. So, yeah, bit of Funny Tank Man lore, and some background on my tank 'tism.

05/24/24: Yuma, Arizona friday shopping trip! Had a day off, so I decided to drive the 45 minutes to the next bigger city. I hit up three walmarts, two Goodwills, two gamestops, and a Super Pawn. Some had okay things, others not so much. But overall, it's still a win. The Goodwills had few and overpriced games, so I didn't bother. But I did find some dvd, blurays, history books, graphic novels, and manga. Two sealed seasons of a Stargate spinoff show were the highlight. And I liked the atari cart look of the season of Venture bros. And I'm happy with the Mail Call book as it has R. Lee Ermey's autograph. And that book on the history of manga looks like a good read. I'm also gonna look spiffy wearing the new used shirts I got. I did find some games, blurays, and toys from walmart. I saw a 4k copy of Dune clearance. And I was convinced by other movie collectors that it was a good deal. Plus an X-men figurine for $7.00 a Superman bluray for $11. A Transformers toy for $20. A ps5 game for $20 and two xbone games at $10 each. I did get a few more things from walmart. But they're with new owners now as before I made it home, I delivered them. Same thing with gamestop. I just got one game for me. No more heroes 3. And other items are going to other friends. Lastly from a pawn shop it was four for $10 on blurays. So I nabbed eight of them. There was some more i wanted, but they were missing the dvd. Which sucks. I could've bought more. Still, it's a wonderful haul of goodies!
