''How do you manage to shoot women and children?'' ''Easy. You don't lead them so far.''

Full Metal Jacket (1987) is in my opinion one of Stanley Kubrick's greatest works. (Granted I've only seen like four of them, so take that with a grain of salt.) As in many of his other flicks, Kubrick is seen as very critical of man's choice to partake in wars. The movie is split up into two distinct parts: a Training Camp and Vietnam. At the training camp we meet Sergeant Hartman, who's job is to produce killing machines. He often bullies a dimwitted and overweight man by the name of Leonard Lawrence, whom he nick name's Gomer Pyle. After getting all of the recruits in trouble. Long story short, all the bullying makes Leonard go crazy and kill the Serge. The latter half of the film follows a character introduced in the first half as he makes his way through Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. The movie shows how the army uses dehumanizing tactics to make murderers.
