what happens at the end of full metal jacket
Full Metal Jacket Animal Mother assumes command of the squad and leads an attack on the sniper. Joker discovers the sniper, a teenaged girl, and attempts to shoot her, but his rifle jams and alerts her to his presence. Rafterman shoots the sniper, mortally wounding her. As the squad converges, the sniper begs for death, prompting an argument about whether or not to kill her. Animal Mother decides to allow a mercy killing only if Joker performs it. After some hesitation, Joker shoots her. The Marines congratulate him on his kill as Joker stares into the distance, displaying the thousand-yard stare. The Marines march toward their camp, singing the "Mickey Mouse March". Joker states that despite being "in a world of shit", he is glad to be alive and no longer afraid.
This Is the End James suggests taking his car to his home in Malibu, but finds the car guarded by a demon. Craig volunteers to sacrifice himself. The plan succeeds and Craig is raptured into Heaven, which leads the others to realize that can be saved if they do a selfless act. They are then captured by a group of cannibals led by Danny and his Gimp Channing Tatum. James volunteers to sacrifice himself to save the others, but taunts and flips Danny off as he ascends to Heaven. Immediately afterward, the beam vanishes and Danny tells James that he was being petty for not going to Heaven and joins in the cannibals to eat him alive while Seth and Jay run away from them. They then encounter a gigantic satanic being. Jay apologizes to Seth for his actions and as the being attempts to eat them, a beam strikes Jay and he begins to ascend while Seth does not. Jay grabs Seth's hand, but his presence prevents him from ascending into Heaven. As a result, Seth lets go and another beam strikes Seth and slices off the being's crotch and he and Jay both finally ascend to Heaven where they meet Craig, who tells them that it is a place where any desire comes true. Jay wishes for the Backstreet Boys and the band performs "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" as everyone dances.
