Fun Fact: Both halves are great it's just that children lose interest when a man isn't screaming in their face.
The assembly line of human degradation and absolute cruelty we've constructed to make any sort of sense out of a world of shit. Kubrick, in what I can only describe as sardonic hellfire mode, delivers the kind of movie that makes you wonder what exactly is "better" about being alive.
“I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.”
I think the complaints about the first half and second half are bullshit, this quote basically sums up the point of the film. We show the duality of man off the battlefield and on the battlefield and how differently their humanity is taken away from them. Stanley Kubrick is really the goat.
This film has always given me a deep sense of unease. This feeling particularly applies to the first part, which takes place at basic training. In fact, I feel that what the recruits are exposed to affect myself directly. The whole film deals with partial degradation of human dignity and the self, but the way Kubrick throws this in our faces already from the beginning grabs me every time.
The haircut-sequence is an important part of this. As before a surgical procedure, the skulls are prepared for the psychological interventions that will follow. Human hair, an important part of who you are, is left behind in a heap on the floor. By completely changing and standardizing appearance this helps alienating…
I'm not giving it five stars is because the first half is so much better than the second half but I'm giving it 4 stars literally just because of how good the first half is
