Is That You John Wayne...? t-shirt

$32.99

In Full Metal Jacket, when Joker sarcastically asks, “Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?”, he’s basically calling out the Marine Corps’ nonstop cowboy-movie fantasy of war. It’s Joker realizing that boot camp has turned everyone into extras in a very loud, very angry Western — except instead of horses and six-shooters, it’s rifles and screaming Drill Instructors.

The line is funny because it punctures all the macho myth-making in one shot: Joker isn’t buying the tough-guy movie script, even as he’s being forced to act in it. It’s sarcasm as self-defense — with a helmet and a rifle.
