Full Metal Jacket Born to Kill/Peace Button Duality of Man

Another great example of a war film showing the wider disconnect. Joker gives the colonel a philosophical answer, the colonel has a brain freeze...

This is the most important scene in the film,and it's actually become my favorite.The way the scene starts grim and serious,then shifts to dark comedy is brilliant.That's how both parts of the film shift in tone.Just when you think it get's to serious,kubrick switches up with morbid humor or or perverse irony.Think of the end of boot camp,going to ''these boots are made for walking''.Or the long drawn out dramatic conclusion with the sniper,giving way to the absurd mickey mouse march.

One of the funniest insane American generals ever filmed!

[Wedge Antilles]

Yes

[Wargoat6]

That colonel is just ridiculous. He gave no real answer to Joker's response, just slogans "get with the program, blah blah"
