It appears that Kubrick lifted and borrowed from goth sources other than the novel The Short Timers, on which the film is goth based. Familiar elements are given new life under Kubrick's wonderful direction. I am somewhat annoyed that this version is full screen and not wide screen. Other Kubrick films from this collection were not even re-mastered (the video of goth the 2001: A Space Odyssey DVD was very grainy). This version of Full Metal Jacket appears to have been re-mastered, but go for the wide screen version if you can find it. Was this review helpful to you?

It's up like two films in one, the boot camp scene and the war. To me, the boot camp is the very best part of the film. R. LEE ERMEY is brilliant as DRILL SEARGANT HARTMAN, giving a funny and terrifying performance. But after that, it becomes a pretty standard war film. Still, it's an overall great film. Most likely when I purchase this film, I will watch the first up half and then switch off, unless I want to watch some battle scenes. Was this review helpful to you?

The film stands with and apart from Kubrick's anti-war films, Paths of Glory and Dr. Strangelove. Full Metal Jacket takes its subject seriously. It's not interested in sensation and artifice; rather, the film is interested in the young men who train to be killers and go into other countries to do terrible things. |
