M14 rifle The M14 rifle, officially the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14, is an American select-fire battle rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NATO ammunition. It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1959 replacing the M1 Garand rifle in the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Don't let facts get in the way.

Sgt Hartman tells Pyle "You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!" I always thought this was just another funny insult but when you take into consideration that Pyle blows his own brains all over the wall like Jackson Pollock painting you realize just how foreboding that line actually turns out. Great film.

Staying sane is a skill but it applies to everyone not just actors. I get that folks like to read into stuff and project what they consider to be a profound understanding onto things they feel a profound appreciation for, but with all due respect I don't think anything demonstrates an actor's talent other than whatever happens on set or on stage. It's all there on the screen or the cutting room floor. Everything else is extraneous. I agree that there is something special about Vincent D'Onofrio's performance as Pyle, but does that make Linda Blair chopped liver just because being in The Exorcist as an adolescent kinda messed her up? I don't think so, her performance is amazing for an adult, let alone a kid.

Kubrick film. Know you've seen a masterpiece as you leave the theater. Spend the rest of your life finding out why.

D'Onofrio's comments about how (to paraphrase) "Pyle's wires got crossed in the training and they made a monster instead of a soldier." He also called his character "weak minded". The combination of Pyle's weak mind and Sgt. Hartman's devotion to creating killer Marines out of ordinary American kids was riveting. The ultimate irony in my mind was that, with Pyle, he actually did too good of a job at creating a killer soldier; so good that his creation caused his own death. A great film, and an American classic. Thanks so much for the interesting video. Appreciate it. 👍

In Army basic training we had to draw our M-16s from the supply room where they were locked up in racks. The mags and ammo were issued at the firing range. After firearms training we "shotgunned" our weapons and as we left the range had to shout "No brass, no ammo, Drill Sgt.!" as they checked the barrels with a metal rod. Even with these safety procedures it's possible that a recruit could conceal some loose rounds if they tried. If Pvt. Pyle could sneak out a jelly doughnut from the messhall then hiding some live ammo was also possible if he was bent on revenge against Gunnery SGT Hartman.

The fact that pyle and joker's actors were friends in real life adds to their characters, the feud probably helped with how joker becomes increasingly frustrated with pyle and how pyle becomes broken at loosing what is essentially his only friend

D'onofrio truly captured Pyle's decent into madness. The change from Pyle's first scene to his last scene is truly amazing.

Oh good, I'm so glad they are friends again. Both had wonderful performances in this film. This just makes me appreciate D’Onofrio all the more. Nothing short of brilliant acting.

so many Academy award moments..but Vincent deserved one so many times over..just brilliant acting..

It's kinda nuts that Adventures In Babysitting was released 1 week before this, and to see how Vincent physically transformed himself. Obviously the movies were filmed quite a long time apart from each other, I'm guessing at least a year, but it's still pretty dramatic visually.

I remember seeing this with friends in the theater and was so stunned by it. I thought about it all day the following day and went to see it again that evening.

I enlisted & began my 12 weeks of Marine boot camp in late Jan. of '74......down in San Diego. I don't think we had any access to 'live' rounds, until the 2nd month, when we were transferred to Camp Pendleton for our rifle-range & infantry. Years later......someone told me that even if we HAD managed to smuggle a 'live' round back to San Diego ( for our 3rd phase )......the firing pins in our rifles were too short to actually make contact with the cartridge.....in case anyone wanted to take out a D.I.. I might have heard this from a retired D.I. in the late 1990s. My best friend wanted to introduce me to his new neighbor. I was kind of reluctant to go over to meet the guy, because of my own memories......but we took over a couple of bottles of wine & he had a copy of 'Full Metal Jacket' already loaded into his VCR. Ironically, so did I, in my own machine back home. The dude had some hilarious stories to share, and it was interesting to hear about the boot camp experience from HIS perspective.

I did my year of military service in sweden in 2001-2002 and some guy in another battalion had managed to steal a live round from the shooting range into his breast pocket in the first few weeks.

After that we all had to have the blank round device on our rifles if we wereb’t at the firing range.

4:38 Yeeeeah, that's an M14 they're taking apart and putting back together.

I wish you would do more on Stanley Kubrick's directing style. A hands off director who lets the actors be the author of their own character while doing a million takes and encouraging them with the line "Do something brilliant."

Your videos are crazy well made and inspire me to analyze film more closely.

From a Marine that joined up soon after Vietnam, the only thing the boot camp sequence got wrong is the rifles not being locked up at night. I've spoken to other Marines and they agree. I am puzzled that Kubrick asked the actors to include scenes in the boot camp sequence-and yet they got this right? I am amazed and impressed. Kubrick is a stickler for details, so that something isn't in a script-puzzling. The Vietnam sequence-pure fantasy. One of the many things they got wrong is using an AK-47 as a sniper weapon. The AK has so much barrel variance that it useless beyond 50 feet. Closer than that, the best infantry weapon in the world. They have buried AK's in the sand at low tide. Several days later, moving them to where the AK is under a campfire. Dig it up the next day and fire it without any jams. At 100 feet, nope, the barrel jerks so much that it will completely miss the target. Just my two cents.

What that means is that the rifle-pointed at a bullseye-and adjusted for windage and elevation-will accurately hit the bullseye at 1,000 yards. This is because the barrel is of a thickness, that given the explosiveness of the powder and weight of the bullet, the barrel barely moves when the rifle is fired. The barrel on an AK-47 is far flimsier than the barrel on an M1903A4. The AK-47 round (5.56 mm) is roughly the same size and weight as a 30-06 round. The AK, when fired, the barrel jumps. That is called barrel variance. It affects the accuracy of a bullet. So, say you place an AK in some type of brace, aimed at a bullseye 100 feet away and pull the trigger. That bullet will not hit the bullseye. It will be up and to the left of the bullseye (but given that the weapon is being handled in combat-adrenaline flow and not braced-somewhere in the upper left of the target-nowhere near the bullseye). So, the sniper in Full Metal Jacket, firing at a moving target 100 feet away and hitting accurately-no. An AK round will hit a target 100 feet away, but not accurately. Hitting a moving target with effectiveness, that's a fantasy. A film enhanced hallucination.

That Pyle scene.... I have seen a lot of movies and a lot of things: that was one of the absolute strongest feeling I had when I saw that. The overwhelming feeling was less sadness and shock or anything, I just remembered being stunned and and not knowing how to react to it.

I had only seen 2001 out of all Kubrick movies before I saw Full Metal Jacket and as like a middle schooler didn't know anything about it. 2001 could be extremely meditative and grand and I was honestly (perhaps idiotically) expecting Full Metal Jacket to be just like that, so after the head-shaving (which lulled me into thinking that I was right about this being like 2001) I was basically jolted by pure electricity once Ermey arrived. The entire first half of the movie with D'Onofrio was pure electricity and adrenalin and D'Onofrio, Modine, and Ermey really are just perfect. The second half is good, too, but honestly it could've ended with Pyle and it would've been just as powerful.

I read Pyle's actions as completely rational. Certainly more rational than killing a Vietnamese person or anyone else so wholly unconnected to his life. It makes much more sense to kill your abuser from whom you have no apparent escape. It strikes me as odd to read Pyle as insane or monstrous. He seems to have clarity about who he should kill. This was his only way to escape, and so he did. I think the reading of "cornered animal" makes more sense to me.

They hit him with styrofoam, which is harmless. Being hit with soap doesn't leave a bruise, but it does leave knots under the skin, which can be painful for a few daysm

"Drag director" meant something else on first impression...

I asked Vincent D'Onofrio about how he applied the Strasberg method and how he applied it to Gomer Pyle. he said that in the bathroom scene, he sang the monotone three blind mice song in his head over and over until Kubrick was satisfied

nice video and as an aside, every time there's a mubi cut-in and a clip from The 3rd Man, i get a little jump … gonna go watch a movie now.

U one of the best ThAnks fo it all

Best Patreon pitch yet!

Shit... Just subscribed to Mubi. I'd totally use your code. Great video as usual!

This video is absolutely amazing, so are all of your videos. Your research, editing, selects and even narration are on point. Award worthy shit. Well done.

Good video.....i was there......and also Vincent kept.....not sure how many times hurting his knee...due to the excess weight.....and it was making most things very hard for Vincent the high obstacle in the film with Matthew..was def not easy for Vincent...and to add that was high up i went up it too.stew fmj crew.

That mustache is wonderful.

Top 5 best Vietnam films are : *The Deer Hunter* (1978) is the best character film & comradery film about Vietnam & the aftermath of war & PTSD but its technically not a war film , its a anti war film *Apocalypse Now* (1979) is the best depiction of the insanity of Vietnam & the soldiers decent into darkness & how war desensitizes soldiers all on different types of levels from each other but its not a film about Vietnam , its a film about becoming a shell of a human being & losing himself & all his morals , the war is just a back drop for the films plot & nothing else !!!! *Platoon* (1986)is definitely about Vietnam but only in the eyes of a novice soldier & his particular platoon hes fighting under!!!! *Full Metal Jacket* (1987) is definitely a Vietnam film because its about the Veitnam war itself & the terror the war was for its soldiers but its also about the soul of every different type of soldier that faught in that war!!! To me , overall its definitely by far the best depiction of "Vietnam" as a single film!!!! We Were Soldiers (2001) is definitely a Vietnam film too but its based on one particular day & particular battle & some of the real life soldiers that fought & died that day!!!!!

I’ve seen it theorized that Animal Mother is Pyle and the murder/suicide is just a dream Joker has to rationalize a harmless kid being turned into a soulless killer.

Excellent!

Modine & D'Onofrio will always be 'Joker' & 'Pyle'

Fucking brilliant performance by Vincent. Unbelievable.

1:46 lmao guy looked like he was falling asleep there

Can you do Kusturica films Underground,Time of the gypsies or even Black cat-white cat, i think you would love them, they are complex on level that will make you scratch your head, a lot of homage to Fellini and Tarkovsky in those films
