The writer, Anthony Burgess was a great commentator on the times. The film spoke to the end of the baby boomers and the gen x crowd because it chronicles the decline of western civilization so well that was part of our experience. It made total sense while experiencing the total shit that Ronald Reagan and his buddy Thatcher were.
It may not speak to you because we are now living in the time where the movie is actually more relevant than ever. We are living the movie now.
To me, Full Metal Jacket was much more violent and disturbing...
