What more can one say! Stanley Kubric does the impossible, again!
This movie takes you on a ride through boot camp in Paris Island and let's you into the lives of Marine recruits. There you meet Cowboy, Joker, Gunny, Snowball and Pyle. This part of the movie shows the molding of ordinary youth in the 60's into "hardcore killers".
After boot camp, it's off to Vietnam. We meet other characters here like Animal Mother, Eightball and Doc.
This truly is a coming of age story when the boys of a nation die and become men. Where the men of a nation die and become heroes. This movie really looks into the psyche of man's search for meaning in the midst of a war he didn't start, but one he is committed to end.
The end sequence brings it all back home with the men marching along with the tanks singing the Mickey Mouse Club theme. Showing that through hell, unity of brothers in arms exists.
