Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Amasa G — 17 Oct 2016

I don't think this film deserves the status it has. I guess that maybe it was really edgy in its day, a hash depiction of ugly truths surrounding a tragically unnecessary war??? Maybe if I had seen it when I was 12 it still could have had that impact, but seeing it today for the first time, and as an adult, I failed to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm more shaken by the real news that is reported every day.
