My dad is a Vietnam veteran. I was raised as a tomboy against my mother's good wishes. I watched this movie when I was a little girl with my dad at home in our living room on a weekend. The following Monday at school I was suspended for 3 days, want to know why? Because I did a drill during recess shouting how Eskimo p**** was mighty cold. 😂😂😂😂😂 my mother no longer allowed my father to have movie night with me on the weekends. I love you Daddy. ❤😂

Historical bit: The Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, developed and enacted "Project 100,000". This effort lowered physical and mental standards for draftees during Vietnam to increase numbers. The military developed a perjorative for these recruits, "McNamara's Morons". This was a horrible mistake as these recruits died in disproportionately greater rates than those who fit the original standards. This probably inspired Private Pyle's character.

"Gomer Pyle" was originally a character from the Andy Griffith show, but later got his own spinoff where he joined the Marines. He was meant to be portrayed as a naive but pure-hearted character but often came off as a simpleton. The name ended up being adopted by the Marines in real life to insultingly refer to people like Lawrence, either less intelligent recruits or people that constantly screwed up.

I recently learned something new about this movie after watching it a hundred times- On the firing line when Leonard reloads his rifle, the magazine he ejects and casts aside is only partially empty. It happens in full view of the camera, and Kubrick would surely do that deliberately. It's a possible set-up to explain how Leonard was able to sneak live rounds into the barracks.

@BigMoore1232 4 месяца назад

When I went through boot camp in 2003 they would check you head to toe for any live ammunition or anything from the firing range for that matter. I mean your rifle is locked up at all times anyways at the barracks. We did the whole this is my rifle thing a couple times but that was about it. We did tie a recruit up to his rack with dental floss at night because he kept getting us slayed on the quarter deck.

@derps0n839 It's called SERE training. Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape. They basically drop you in the middle of the wilderness with what you would eject from a plane with, a small survival kit. They tell you that friendly lines are 150 miles to the east of this position. You have a 12 hour headsteart before we begin hunting you. Goodluck. You will not make it to friendly lines, you will be allowed to "evade" for a few days, just long enough to begin starving. Then you will be forcefully captured and interrogated. Not much is known about the "escape" portion because much of SERE training remains classified.

My dad said the guy was slow...and one night he heard the drill instructor beating the guy with his stick and the guy crying.

"Did your parents have any children that lived?" "Sir, yes, sir." "I bet they regret that. You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!" Fun Fact: The movie was #2 on Gene Siskel's list of the Best Films of 1987. Hot Take Fact: The bathroom mop scene between Joker (Matthew Modine) and Cowboy (Arliss Howard) took 62 takes to complete. Director Stanley Kubrick's trademark perfectionist multiple takes. Insane Commitment Fact: According to an interview with Vincent D'Onofrio, the production schedule for the film was so drawn-out that lead actor Matthew Modine got married, conceived a child with his wife, the child was born, and then turned 1 year old ...all during the course of filming. Method Director Fact: To make Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann's performance and the recruits' reactions as convincingly as possible, Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, and the other actors playing recruits never met R. Lee Ermey prior to filming. Stanley Kubrick also saw to it that Ermey didn't fraternize with the actors between takes. What Script Fact: Director Stanley Kubrick had nothing but praise for R. Lee Ermey's skills as a performer. Kubrick originally was going to write dialogue for Ermey's character himself, but he became so impressed with what Ermey improvised, he decided it was not necessary. He simply let him ad-lib, an act practically unheard of for a Stanley Kubrick film.

One thing you need to understand about Boot Camp, NOTHING the Drill Instructors do will be anywhere close to as bad as a firefight in combat.

They artificially induce panic/stress and make you work through it.

As someone mentioned earlier, R Lee Ermey was brought on as a consultant by Stanley Kubrick, but Kubrick wound up liking him so much he allowed Ermey (a real-life drill instructor at MCRD San Diego) to write and improvise 95% of his dialogue. This was AFTER Ermey filled up multiple two-hour VHS tapes with auditions while being pelted with tennis balls and oranges. He also never repeated insults during those audition tapes. As for the original Sgt. Hartman (Tim Colceri), he was given the role of a helicopter door gunner as a consolation from Kubrick for his months of preparation.

"For what?" is an excellent question and the answer is..........NOTHING! They were shipped off to fight a war they didn't understand, with no realistic goal, against an enemy that they couldn't see, with one arm tied behind their backs because of all the restrictions, for a people who didn't care about them, and then came home to a country that treated them like crap. All because we were in the "Red Scare." Very sad. And just as sad is that a person who now claims to love our country and is patriotic, used a pathetic excuse like non-existent "bone spurs" in order to avoid serving.

I can only speak from post-Vietnam US Navy. 1. There are always more than one CC in boot camp (at least in the Navy) where partially recruits can't be abused. Verbal abuse is one thing but physical was a NO GO. 2. Vincent D'Onofrio played the Bug in MIB and had to put on 50lbs for this role 3. Hardman was out of control. Others outside his recruits would have noticed and he would have been held accountable. 4. "I don't know, but I've been told. Eskimo pussy is mighty cold." was used in my Navy recruit company in 1981. 5. In the US Navy real live ammo was always accounted for, and Pyle wouldn't have had it on his person in the head. 6. The lights in the head are always lit. (lighting I suspect). 7. "Blanket parties" were a real deal. We didn't have one because we didn't have a Gomer Pyle. 8. The hooker in Saigon is just distracting them so the motorcycle guys can steal the camera. I saw that happen in the Philippines. 9. "I wouldn't shit you, you're my favorite turd" I've used that before. 10. Even by Hollywood standards, Kubrick went overboard with excessive bloodletting. "He only has 45 cards in the deck."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

that's not the point - the movie is not about the military. It is about coping mechanisms people need in order to commit crimes and even die, when the state tells them too. Invading and burning down SE Asia was a crime, and the war took place more between factions in a few buildings in DC than in the pacific. The dirty jokes, the hazing, the cynicism, building yourself into a warrior to fight a non threat. That's mental gear. The lie that an american farmer and a vietnamese farmer are enemies that works for some. But for others, sarcastic disavowal of his own role is the way to deal with it. All this mental gear is what helps a man do insane things for insane reasons. People who justify the drill sergeant's behavior and the US marines, and people who are offended by them are both missing the point. The DS is doing what needs to be done, for a mission that absolutely does not need to be done. @@eigerw

Watch "The Pacific" 10-part series. Then you'll understand why Marine bootcamp is this way. The insults. The mental abuse. The physical abuse. You'll see men fighting 24 hours a day in 110 degree heat, in mud surrounded by rotting bodies that used to be their friends. Stabbing, shooting, strangling the enemy...for 36 days straight! With not so much as a warm meal and a change of clothes. Book camp is designed to prepare these men for those kinds of conditions. It will ultimately help them survive combat by making them as tough as they come, let alone be an unbeatable fighting force.

Totally untrue. Both acts are equally vital, when one understands the full story arch Kubrick is telling. You have to understand, it's not just a coincidence that Animal Mother simply "resembles" Gomer Pyle. He "is him". He is like a ghost of him, it's what Gomer was being trained to become. The entire film is about taking humans and making them into killers, even our "protagonist", Joker. Just because the first half is well done and shocking, it doesn't make the 2nd half anywhere near less important. To not care about it is to miss the point about Gomer’s full story.

@@Cre80s The second half suffers greatly for having no real presence among the actors. Certainly nobody that comes close to Pyle and Hartman.

If you think the scene with Bruce Boa isn't "present", the sniper scene, the prostitues... man, I think the shock of Gomer’s act just thrusts viewers into a numb state and they become blind to what follows. to say the 2nd act is "suffering" tho... just plain ol' false.
