  @burley@oliphant.social my thought is that the actors were having a dificult time staying in character and I love that the sergeant just kept going. He seemed pretty unflappable

  @burley@oliphant.social oh I know and kudos to Kubrick for bringing that out

  @burley@oliphant.social it kinda burns my butt a bit that this film does not get the recognition it deserves

  @burley@oliphant.social I really feel that Kubrick had a lot to say with the basic training part of the film. The film would not have worked without it. Kubrick loved to have a strong thesis and he stuck to it. Kubrick was a very intellectual director. Those type of films don’t sell as easily.
