"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every Meal is a banquet!. Every paycheque's a fortune!. Every formation's a parade! I LOVE THE CORPS! Hudson: Ah geez, this floor is freezing! Apone: What do you want me to do, Marine? Fetch your slippers? Hudson: Gee, would you sir? I'd like that! nick2 04-01-2006, 14:17 Originally posted by mr_chris Apone: Another glorious day in the Corps. A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every Meal is a banquet!.

If anything they're trying to show the depths of what can seem reasonable in the grips of a severe madness, why this lacks power in the film is that the changeover comes way too late and the ending is too ambigious IMHO Is this thread not entitled "Favourite quote from a film" ? Did I state anywhere that I thought the film was an anti-capitalist, nihilistic promotion tool? I can relate to that ONE statement. Therefore, it opened my eyes.

Sorry, you just caught me on day 3 off the cigarettess in a pet hate area of mine, I shouldn;t be so quick to judge. Like many people, I do like this film but I've talked to so many people who have thought it was cool because of the subversion instead of the clever message it builds. true these people are mainly adolescents but i didn;t want to tar the idea as being pure naiveity. As for Palanhuik's writing, I do think he visceral and potent writing style do make him incredibly quotable, much like Hunter Thompson.
