"I'm in a world of shit, yes, but I'm alive and I'm not afraid." -Joker
Full Metal Jacket
Kubrick relentlessly showcases human horrors, however brutal,
Never turning the camera away once.
Internal fears of failure of a jelly donut hidden, to destroy a whole Marine outfit
External hatred of leaving a girl to die
Just because she was part of the enemy state
A world of shit, alive.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

Good choice and I like your interpretation.
Wow, it's been a long time since I saw this movie. Sobering review.
One of the greatest war films ever made. Thanks for this!
Gosh, this one brings me back to when I was a poor college kid with no cable and about 8 DVDs constantly on repeat playing on a 19-inch TV. Great critique.
