About this product

Product Information

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 (1987), adapted from Gustav Hasford's 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 D'Onofrio) who just happens to be a sharpshooter. The second half takes the grunts to Hue City, where the climactic battle of the 1968 Tet Offensive--and the turning point of the Vietnam War--took place. The story is told through the eyes of Private Joker (Matthew Modine), a cynical aspiring photojournalist who is forced to fight for his life and the lives of his fellow recruits. Unusually for Kubrick, FULL METAL JACKET emerged at a time when a trend for films about Vietnam was in full swing. PLATOON had proceeded Kubrick's film by a year, and lesser efforts such as HAMBURGER HILL also emerged in 1987. London's abandoned docklands may not be the most obvious choice of location to replicate the ravages of the Vietnam landscape, but this is where Kubrick shot the film, sticking to his dogged principles of not shooting outside his adopted home. A moving commentary on the dehumanizing process that occurs when soldiers prepare and engage in battle, FULL METAL JACKET is an unforgettable experience from one of the most original voices to ever pick up a movie camera.

  • Great Movie On Vietnam War

    This film has many iconic scenes and deals with a little-known novel. The acting is phenomenal (especially from real-life drill sergeant R. Lee Ermey). The adventure is stunning. Things do get unpredictable and a lot of memorable stuff happens at the training camp so don't be surprised if you don't see any scenes of armed combat outside of the training camp. You'll see some before the end.

    Thank you! I can't wait to rip this and sample this the same way Ministry did for their 1989 album. I'm shocked I have the same print Ministry possibly did during their 1988 to 1989 era. Thank You! :D

  • bcoffer23 Movie Review - Full Metal Jacket

    This is an awesome war movie. One of my favorite parts involves the trials of bootcamp and how a hard nosed drill sergeant pushes his soldiers to the edge, and sometimes over the edge. Beware, there is a lot of profanity, and several adult situations.

  • Gift for the man in my life

    Its a movie my husband wanted for a long time. I'm thrilled to have gotten it for him. He's very happy to have gotten it.
