[!@#$%!]

funny thing, while fmj has some landmark moments, like all the shit the sargent says, and vincent d’onofrio is an amazing actor and so good at going bananas, that movie as a whole doesnt quite work for me. i mean from beginning to end. i dont know if it came too late after apocalypse now and platoon or what, but i always forget the events and significance of whatever happens beyond the barracks and basic training. i mean sure, there was a great line that was sampled for and inspired a classic hiphop track, and there are flame throwers in buildings, but what was all that about? i swear i cant say. to me the movie was over earlier when pvt pyle poisons himself with lead. anyway, yeah, if somebody could explain i would appreciate it.
