Full Metal Jacket?!
Question: Full Metal Jacket!?
What is it suggesting when the soldiers are singing the MICKY MOUSE CLUB theme song in the end of the film!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
The below is a quote from www!.Collativelearning!.com
'In marine slang the term Mickey Mouse is used to describe anything that is stupid and senseless, which fits perfectly as a metaphor in FMJ'
It is a strange ending to the film!.
My thoughts on it is that Disney is a classic symbol of a benevolent america with high moral and family values, none of which are being exhibited by the Marines or the corps in the film
also as most of the film is about the dehumanising effect of war it seems almost a return to innocence for the Marines involvedWww@Enter-QA@Com
