The first half of Full Metal Jacket is the best narrative feature about military training, but the second half is significantly less compelling.

Except for the fact that it probably has one of the best (if not the best) Kubrick ending. There's no point to first half without the second half since they were training to be mindless killing machines in a meaningless crazy war on alien soil.
