The second half is really the second 2/3rds which is why you have trouble remembering it specifically. But every scene it has is great, from the mass grave after the Tet Offensive to the door gunner, the director filming the advance like it's a Hollywood movie, etc etc

WampaLord posted:It just blends into every other war movie I've ever seen, while I can distinctly remember everything about the training part. Like every Kubrick movie is suffers from lesser directors aping it constantly. It did also have similar shots to Apocalyse Now, which is also constantly referenced. But of course Apocalypse Now is played for horror and FMJ is more of a gallows humor thing except for a few spots
