Replying to Best vietnam movie

so, watched full metal jacket yesterday and wanted to know what you guys think.

personally, i like apocalypse now the most (redux version). somehow i feel that AN is the most complex of them (=vietnam films i can recall right now) and leaves more things to interprete.

platoon meanwhile is "just" "showing" war and puts the viewer in first person mode, with all the things going on in a soldiers mind, etc, and doing brilliantly so.

FMJ, idk, i like the whole bootcamp thing because it kinda reminds me of my own military time (austrian army is more badass as i thought :) ), but afterwards its kinda weird, without highlights, only the "usual" stuff, maybe intentionally, but not my favourite.



i dont even care if you hate (anti-)warfilms, but i like them because they remind me of how lucky we all are to be children of such an era of peace. like imagine finding a new love, hold hands, touch each other, kiss each other, etc and get the draft letter the next day. and you have to leave for some random ass place thousands of miles away with death a serious possibility. its one of those things i am grateful for (not in a religious way, i think its just by accident).
