Really? I mean... it’s definitely like two movies in one, sure, but I still struggle to imagine how a director could envision and execute a film with such different halves... basically two entirely separate arcs.
I have never had a problem with the second half. I think it’s just as definitive in some ways as the first. “Born to Kill,” “World of Shit” and whatnot.
The first half is a necessary thematic predecessor to the second, I think, as it starts the dehumanization theme and makes it something we as viewers can follow from boot camp to the Shit.
Shrug.
