Full Metal Jacket - shooting script versus film - Magda Hassan - 11-05-2013

David Guyatt Wrote:The hint being that "just the right amount of wrong" is the start line, I think. The point of Crowley's "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law" is to breakdown barriers of normal behaviour, morality and ethics. Once you've parked your moral compass anything at all is possible. It's opening the door and consciously ushering the shadow in to play. Once done you're trapped.
And some one usually has it all on video too.

Joker, the Marine grunt, is trying to deal with, to balance and navigate, the Duality of Man - the "Jungian thing".

The Powerful have already made their choice.
