Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Alejandro970 — 05 Mar 2021
The Vietnam War now under the magnifying glass of Stanley Kubrick. Here it is shown how soldiers were created through inflexible discipline, and physical and moral humiliation, to obtain mercenaries without moral ties of any kind, and how they would face external conditions at the front.
The greatest irony is the troops singing the Mickey Mouse club anthem. The film is not at the height of Platoon but still you must not lose sight of it.
