Youve got to be kidding, its a great film. How can you can say 'nothing happens'I? It is almost a collection of short films put together covering different periods, youve got the basic training, the dehumanising of the recruits, the disintegration of Pt Pyle, and it ends with a climactic finish which is the Battle of Hue which was one of the largest events in the Vietnam War, turning urban in nature and guerrilla warfare into towns. It is about the contrast between the order of training and the disorder and chaos of Vietnam. Sounds like you didnt get it at all. Loads happens.Watched Full Metal Jacket again last night, its still shit. Could easily be half an hour long, fuck all happens.
