Full Metal Jacket [BLU-RAY]

In this riveting look at military life during the Vietnam conflict Stanley Kubrick who made the powerful antiwar classics PATHS OF GLORY (WWI) and DR. STRANGELOVE (the cold war) once again explores the behavior of men in battle. FULL METAL JACKET adapted from Gustav Hasfords novel THE SHORT TIMERS is broken down into two very different parts. The first half of the film focuses on the training of a squad of Marine grunts on Parris Island and more specifically on the troubled relationship between the brutal drill sergeant (a frightening Lee Ermey) and an oafish misfit (a brilliant Vincent DOnofrio) who just happens to be a sharpshooter. The first half ends with a devastating unforgettable scene leading into the second half which takes the grunts to Hue City the climactic battle of the 1968 Tet Offensive and the turning point of the Vietnam War. The story is told through the eyes of Private Joker (Matthew Modine) a cynical aspiring photojournalist who is soon forced to fight for his life and the lives of his fellow recruits. The sniper scene which takes place amid bombed-out buildings (rather than in the familiar jungles) serves as a microcosm for the Vietnam War--as well as war in general. FULL METAL JACKET is an unrelenting intelligent and challenging examination of war told by a master filmmaker.
