Full Metal Jacket

I'm not entirely sure what to say about this movie that hasn't already been covered in many better ways by just about everyone else. In my opinion this is Gomer Pyle's story. His arc sets the prescident for the rest of the movie, as the second half of the movie mimicks the first, with Joker shooting the Viet girl in parallel of Pyle shooting the drill seargent. both represent a spiritual death, a giving in to the most carnal and destructive elements of humanity. the difference is that Pyle then turns teh gun on himself, where Joker goes on to live. He's alive, but for what? M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E.
