Duality of Man

[WTFJustnoRELOADED]

Always found this as one of my favorite scenes. love the idea of the duality of man. it in essence is me.

[TheWafertastic]

I scratch my scrotum

[OneTrueEdge]

America's fascist years.

[calito44]

and that's explains the funny salute the coronel makes at the end too :) 

[greedkiller]

@calito44

Exactly :-) He salutes kind of in a hurry, as to say "I'll quickly salute this private so I can leave" He sees in Joker not only his moral superior, but he is also confronted with his "moral antagonist". The colonel faces the fact that his opinions about the war may not be so true after all. This makes him unfomfortable and he hurries the salute to leave. Again, just my analysis and conclusions, but as with good literature, good movies provoke discussion and thought.

[Sevv9220]

The second half is not nearly as entertaining as the first half but I don't think that's what the second half was intended to show. Yeah, the first half shows recruits/privates getting their asses kicked by their drill instructor. But the second half shows the Vietnam war, and there isn't anything funny about that shit. I don't think you have to have served in that war to know that's not something to joke around with.

[AniRemi]

"I THINK I WAS TRYING TO SUGGEST SOMETHING ABOUT THE DUALITY OF MAN, SIR."

"What."

[calito44]

mmmmm just curiosity... the coronel does not have to wait for the salute of the periodist who is inferior in rank?.....all right all right is a movie but hey the details always the details.....

[neckarsulme]

@calito44 I noticed that as well, the subordinate salutes first, and waits for the superior to drop his salute before he drops his. Military people will usually notice this.

[calito44]

@neckarsulme not necesary just have to be a good observer.... watch the black hawk down movie in the scene when captain Steele names Sgt Eversman as leader fo the chalk four... At the end captain Steel wait for the salute of the sgt.. the Sgt says : Rangers lead the way... then Capt Steele returns the salute saying "all the way" :)

[greedkiller]

@calito44

The colonel initiates the salute because he is dumbfounded by the quote about Jung and the duality of man. He outranks Joker, but in general knowledge he is "lower in rank" so to speak. Also Joker and the other men know the truth about the war in Vietnam; it's a losing game. The colonel speaks about the "Big Win" and "Peace craze" he has no clue. This all is illustrated by the colonel saluting his "moral superior"

[calito44]

@greedkiller Hey man.... thanks...... that was really deep........make sense.....

[greedkiller]

@calito44

You're welcome :-) It's just my analysis of this scene, but in all modesty I think there is truth in it. I've seen this movie many times and after a while you start seeing the message of the movie reflected in even the smaller scenes and details. I actually think the whole movie is mainly about the duality of man. A concept reflected in many war movies, especially about the Vietnam war (like Platoon and Apocalypse Now for example)

[seigneurvoland666]

The Jungian thing sir

[psychoscribe13]

kewl vid

[Ihateworking1]

I say Fuck Platoon and Apocalypse now, this is the perfect anti-war film. In terms of entertainment and things that later soaked through into pop-culture FMJ always wins.

"When you talk about Destruction, don't you know that you can count me out(in)"

-John Lennon, I think it kind of applies here.

[EricPierreCantona]

@Ihateworking1 I'm with you there on the "perfect anti-war film"... Too bad the current Marine Corps workship the movie withouth taking a fucking second to try and think about any message in the movie. They just take it as a meaningless and pretty accurate movie on boots camp and Marine pride...

[Tony56644]

this movie is so fuuny

[Lihborg]

such a good movie:)

[connorcole0]

Stanly Kubrick is the best and most important director of all time, anyone disagree i don't care i'm ignorant

[Speedemon8793]

Great movie.

[tcgicegunner]

love this movie



[CheIseaSmiIe]

Am I the only one who just turned off Fullmetaljacket after the middlepoint?

The beginning was awesome, but as soon as the half way mark hit, I was bored shitless.

Idk, maybe it's just me, but I'm kinda picky with movies. x.x

[itscowski]

@CheIseaSmiIe Yeah, the second half can get boring but if you watch it objectively, it's fantastic.

[fleamarket3000]

@CheIseaSmiIe you're just shellshocked after how good the beginning is, watch it again and it's easier to appreciate the movie as a whole

[CheIseaSmiIe]

@fleamarket3000 Ended up watching it to the end. I still think the last half is not as good as the first half, but it's definitely a great movie on the whole. I also love how I get that many negative votes just for stating my opinion.

[sniperSkiilz]

The only people from Texas are steers and queers and you dont look like no steer to me boy

[MrWigglypiggly]

FMJ !

[MrNannerman]

I'm actually so surprised HOW many people know where my name comes from, considering this film is not popcorn fluff and older than most my subscribers. Nice post, this movie is THE greatest Vietnam film, fuck Platoon, this has the heart.

[itscowski]

@PvtJ8ker Apocalypse Now ranks up there as well

[JoseCuervoFilms]

@itscowski can't forget about hamburger hill.

[pioneer96]
