There is a theme all through this film,the theme is paradox.From the often brutal treatment of the conscripts during basic training to the allocation of duties and the enmeshment in conflict. Though filmed in the docklands area of London before the development of the area,the setting is valid as a tapestry for the violence. The scene of the film is poignant as the soldiers sing a childrens song whilst marching through the hell of the Tet offensive of 68. Kubrick at his best yet again.
