The narrator doesn't say anything that seems out-of-place. I have seen others criticize this film for the voice over, but I felt that it was used sparingly, and was helpful, not overdone.
I felt like I was walking through the movie with the Marines, from the barracks to the battlefield scenes. Less allegory and more applicability! Wonderful! The camera work was superb. In the same way that "Trainspotting" was an anti-drug film that did not gloss over anything, "Full Metal Jacket" is (for me) an anti-war film that stares straight at the ugliness of war and the potential for violence within almost all people, especially those trained, conditioned, even twisted, into military roles, without preaching even a single time. This IS how you have to look at this film, incidentally trying to break it down into two or three parts and say which was better is missing the point of the film, I think. However I have seen a lot of action and war films, and this one, to an individual who never went to war, seems the most true-to-life, taken as a whole. First of all I love Kubrick's work, so I came into this with a bias. NO SPOILERS! This is a review, not a synopsis. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. You are nothing but unorganized grab-asstic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You will be a minister of death praying for war. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Bullshit, I can't hear you. From now on you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be "Sir". Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your senior drill instructor.
