Two great flicks

These really are good movies, it just sucks that they're under one roof. If Full Metal Jacket was somehow a two-part film, it would be a masterpiece. Now after about 50 minutes we cut from one great film to another great film, with no common theme or development. It's obvious that the focus of the training segment is Pyle, even if Joker is the main character. The loss of this focus when the war se... read more

''The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill.

Full Metal Jacket is a film that I loved and didn't like which is something that I think is really weird but can't help but think this way. What I loved about Full Metal Jacket was only the first 40 minutes of it involving the training in the army. I found it absolutely hilarious because Drill Sergeant Hartman was a complete bastard and the way he was speaking and what he was saying was hilarious!... read more

Superb, one of Kubrick's best

“I like Stanley Kubrick, and I love his films, especially 2001, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove and this, his penultimate film. Full Metal Jacket is a harrowing, violent and foul-mouthed film, yet it is superbly done. True, one or two parts may lack tropical realism, but the atmosphere the film creates is extraordinary. The film looks excellent with skillful cinematography. The script is very well crafted and does have a sense of realism, while the story is compelling with the transition from the training at the camp to the bombed Vietamnesse city smoothly done. I am with those who thinks the first half is better than the second, but that is not to say the second half isn't good, it is more than good, but the first half really was outstanding. Kubrick's direction as always is s” read more

"1.5. Another misunderstood film. This time it's about brutalization of man, when man becomes an animal. Joker is a smart one who laughs at all the propaganda and mass manipulation, but at the end he loses the battle over his mind and becomes one with the mindless sheeplets, marching forward killing, pillaging and raping anything in their path for whatever glory and fatherland."
