Are you shook up? Nervous?
1:43:03
Sir, I am, sir!
1:43:04
Do I make you nervous?
1:43:07
Were you about to call me an asshole?

Full Metal Jacket
was based on a novel. . .
1:43:11
. . . The Short-Timers,
by Gustav Hasford, a Vietnam veteran.
1:43:15
He collaborated on the screenplay
with Kubrick and Herr. . .
1:43:19
. . .who covered the war
as a correspondent.
1:43:21
He was thinking about
making a war movie.
1:43:24
I said, "You already made
Paths of Glory. "
1:43:28
He said, "People think of that
as an anti-war movie.
1:43:31
I want to make a war movie. . .
1:43:33
. . .just to consider the subject. . .
1:43:36
. . .without a moral
or political position. . .
1:43:40
. . .but as a phenomenon. "
1:43:52
Holy shit! The sniper has a clean shot
through the hole!
1:43:57
What he ended up doing
in Full Metal Jacket...
1:44:01
. . .he had almost
the detachment of the view.
1:44:06
It's like a god's-eye view of combat
in the second half of the film.
1:44:11
It seems to be so still and removed.
1:44:15
The cleanliness of it. . .
1:44:18
. . .and the power of it.
1:44:21
And the beauty of it, because
it was all so beautifully filmed.
1:44:26
And he understood
that it was accepted. . .
1:44:29
. . .that it was quite okay
to acknowledge. . .
1:44:32
. . .that among all the things war is,
it's also very beautiful.
1:44:37
It's the only film that's ever given
you a real idea what it's like. . .
1:44:41
. . .also what the kids go through
and how important a drill sergeant is.
1:44:45
That's right, Private Pyle. . .
1:44:47
. . .don't make any fucking effort
to get up to the top!
1:44:51
If God wanted you up there, He would
have miracled your ass up there!
1:44:56
Get your fat ass up there!
1:44:58
And also the nature. . .
