Full Metal Jacket

I watched Full Metal Jacket, and i can't really figure out whether i liked it or not, it was really weird compared to most war films, its more gritty and psychological. The ways the scene switches were weird, going from a crazy soldier shooting his drill-Sergeant and then himself to a Vietnamese prostitute offering herself to the soldiers. 

It also looks at war in a different perspective, through the eyes of a journalist rather than a soldier even though he does end up fighting. 

I like the idea of it not being entirely based around the fighting and actual war scenes and has the drill Sergeant to show how disturbed people get from war and the scenes around the towns in Vietnam where they all seem relaxed and calm. 

I think i would prefer doing a war film based around Vietnam rather than Hiroshima, because i think it would easier to get a starting title more like the Kingdom, with typography mixed with the news footage.
