Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Joel A — 19 Jan 2017
It's probably more accurate to describe Full Metal Jacket as an experience as supposed to a film. The opening 40 mins of the film showcasing the marines getting drilled are scenes you are not likely to forget.
Largely a film on the conditioning of these men in the army & then the exploitation of them by the media whilst in Vietnam.
In true Kubrick Fashion the visual sense of the film is sensational but there are so deep themes & a brilliant expose of the silliness & irrelevance of Vietnam, a must see War Film!
