Pyle then aims at Joker, but he manages to calm him down by saying to take it easy and calling him Leonard, his first name. Hartman is woken up, comes to investigate and sees him in the bathroom and yells insults at him before being shot dead. He grows increasingly unstable, and it culminates when he enters the bathroom on the platoon's final night on Parris Island, executing drill commands and reciting the Rifleman's Creed in the bathroom while loading his rifle with live ammunition. Davis is undergoing harsh training in the boot camp by Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, who also brutally punishes the overweight Gomer Pyle. Joker is paired with Pyle, and as Pyle's progress through training starts to improve, it comes to a halt when Hartman discovers that Pyle has stored a contraband jelly doughnut in his footlocker, which causes him to adopt a collective punishment policy: he won't punish Pyle whenever he makes a mistake, he will punish the entire platoon.Īs a result the platoon, including a reluctant Joker, hazes Pyle with a blanket party, and Pyle is pushed over the edge. He is the narrator of the movie, and he is shown wearing a peace sign on his uniform as well as an M1 Helmet reading 'Born to Kill'. 'Joker' Davis, later Sergeant Joker, is the main protagonist of Full Metal Jacket. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture.
