Listen up, maggots! It’s time to figure out which is your rifle, which is your gun, and practice saying, “Sir, yes, sir,” until you're blue in the face. This September on “Talking Technophobia in Film,” we are continuing our Second Season and year-long discussion of the cultural significance of Stanley Kubrick’s most famous films. "You will not laugh, you will not cry. You will learn by the numbers." So rehearse your best renditions of the “Mickey Mouse Club” and your John Wayne impression, say goodbye to your childhood innocence, and ship out from Paris Island to the jungles of Vietnam, as we turn our attention to Full Metal Jacket (1987).
We will touch upon the warrior culture, the war machine, and the duality. Some themes will include the “masculinity,” “transformation,” and “duality.”
