Example #687 that Stanley Kubrick was a genius: the sniper scene from Full Metal Jacket. This is a great scene. I particularly love the way Kubrick holds on the close-up of Matthew Modine's face right before and just after he shoots the sniper. Good stuff.

It took me years to figure out that she was the prostitute.

the book this was based off is called The Short-timers and its great. Plus it has a whole other ending. and its short. strongly recommended for anyone who liked this movie. it's got some really gritty shit about jungle warfare and the mindfuck that place was. how soldiers would have to walk in a line with their hands out in front on their buddy's shoulder at night in the jungle because it was so dark. or all the booby traps they set up. or how stepping on a loud twig/stick could be your death. or soldiers copying animal sounds to communicate at night. endless shit of cool stuff like that

She was?! Which prostitute, the "me so horny/evy-ting you want" or "too bu cu"?

FYI, she was just repeatedly saying "Troi oi" which is roughly translated and understood to mean "Oh my god" in English.

@antimatter: Sounds like a good read.

I'm sorry. I just don't "get" Kubrick. I don't care for the 15 minutes of wasted time it takes for him to get to another specific plot point, ad nauseum. As much as that last statement makes me sound like I'm part of the fast food generation, I actually do appreciate lengthy exposition. Just not Kubrick's way of doing it. Kubrick fans espouse what a genius he was. Overrated is what I see.

But, ultimately, it comes down to: if you like Kubrick, that's all that matters. More power to ya.

Just to set the record straight. THE SNIPER WAS NOT THE HOOKER. Just watched the movie a few minutes ago, watched the credits too. Leanne Hong played the motorcycle hooker "Too beaucoups!", Papillon Soo played the Da Nang hooker "Me so horny!", and Ngoc Le was the sniper.

FNG ryjkyj forced me to watch one of the best movies ever all over again. Bastard.
