Hasford's The Short-Timers and "Full Metal Jacket"

     Watch Kubrick's film "Full Metal Jacket" very carefully --
watch it at least twice.

     In addition, read at least TWO reviews of the film that you have located in 
The Movie Review Query Engine. DO NOT SUMMARIZE THEM in 
your assignment, but make sure to name the reviews you read, and where they are from.

     Then, pick three important differences between the film
and the novel, The Short-Timers, on which it was based (or,
rather, on the first half of which it was based). Be very
specific.

     Discuss how the differences change the impact, or message, of the
film from that of the book. Again, be as specific as you can be.
"Generalizations" are not going to be of any use here.
