It becomes a real movie in the 2nd half.
Basic training was probably the easiest to shoot and could be its own short film but it's praised simply because of one guy's performance.
In fact, it's too long. I mean when you go back and watch it over and over, it becomes...okay we get it, Private Pyle sucks, move on to another topic.
But I do wish the 2nd half was as tight as the first half but maybe that was the point. Safe in the US tight storyline and rigid...first half, go to Vietnam and everything is all over the place chaos.
