"Full Metal Jacket" shows a world so overflowing with beastly hatred that it is heartbreaking. First of all it offers the spectacle of the destruction of young and innocent initiated into a universe of brutal horror killing them body and soul. Then these soulless zombies, clad as Marines (in "full metal jacket") , wander in the distant land of Vietnam, that now has the infected image of polluted Paradise, formerly an exotic dream like America itself once upon a time. The final disaster is Private Joker's complete demonic conversion, when he murders his last existing human identity by killing the young woman Vietnamese guerrilla soldier.
