Full Metal Jacket

i feel like every time i watch this movie, the more i takeaway and enjoy it. the first half differs so much from the second and i love it.  joker trying to be nice to pyle and mentor him over time was so sweet but eventually pyle had something coming to him. BUT when pyle did snap i was so not expecting it and it was just not a scene i was ready for and i still hate seeing it but then some of the second half i appreciate so much (even though imm not the biggest fan of war movies) i feel like we really see that joker was just another kid who wasnt ready for the war experience. but young matthew modine played this role so well  ME SO HOOOORNEY ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME born to kill with a peace pin  RIP sergeant hartman
