@ivisa76:   In the last scene of Full Metal Jacket, directed by Stanley Kubrick, a formation of Marines is marching across a burning, ruined landscape, singing the Mickey Mouse Club theme, a song that is associated with the innocence of Mickey Mouse. The scene is very ironic: the lighthearted, childlike melody is in contrast with the devastation that surrounds them, and it highlights the distortion of the war. The soldiers who have just killed a young sniper appear to be numb and the song is almost like a coping mechanism- something to hold on to in the confusion. This contrast is utilized by Kubrick to imply that war does not only dehumanize the physical body, but also disconnects the mind, leaving a weird mixture of alienation and enforced sanity. Meanwhile, the scene is a reminder that these men were still mere kids before the war- you know, young men who grew up in the same culture which gave birth to cartoons, television shows, and childish innocence. Kubrick breaks down the barrier between them and what they were by having them sing a childhood anthem at the end. Its implication is disturbing: the same boys who used to eat the icons of innocence are being involved in violence nowadays, but there are still remnants of their former selves. This overlap emphasizes the tragedy of war, in that it does not form completely new people, but distorts and reuses the identities of people who were once free and undefined. #FullMetalJacket #StanleyKubrick #FilmReels #AntiWar #WarFilm
