So... after first watching the movie I truly didn't grasp the genius behind Stanley Kubrick's film. Honestly, I didn't even realize how famous Stanley Kubrick was for his movies. When Mr. P pointed out that he was also the creator of Space Odyssey.. it clicked, but before that reference I really was not familiar with his name.
Anyways... Full Metal Jacket... I only took it for face value and didn't comprehend all the underlying meanings that were purposely put in to the scenes. It was amazing how much more I appreciate the movie after discussing it. Thursday's class really opened my eyes to all the different perspectives and views that one can take on Full Metal Jacket. It blew my mind that by simply changing the camera angle could add more meaning to a scene. I'm much more of a fan of Full Metal Jacket and even the ending after Thursday.
