Full Metal Jacket
Dir. Stanley Kubrick (1987, IMDb #104)
OK, strap in, this one is pretty serious.
+10 woke points for a diverse credited cast, including Blacks, Latin Americans, Southeast Asians.
-50 woke points for being racist as hell.
-500 woke points for infamously promoting the phrase ‘Me so horny’ within the racist cultural lexicon, where it dwells even to this day. Thuc Nguyen, in an article for Esquire titled ‘Those Five Words', explains the de-humanising history and effect of the phrase better than we ever could.
