“Freedom? You’d better flush out your head, new guy. This isn’t about freedom; this is a slaughter.”
The movie that convinced me Kubrick was a true genius, this is a harrowing story of marine recruits during the Vietnam war; terrifying at point, lighthearted in others, the unease is compounded significantly by juxtaposing upbeat music of the 60s with the destruction, and has a dozen images I’ll never get out of my head.
