Full Metal Jacket https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/99/Full_Metal_Jacket_poster.jpg Dir: Stanley Kubrick Genre: War Year: 1987 Full Metal Jacket is one of the most unique war movies ever. Typically, these all follow a formula--we get to briefly know the soldiers as naive boys, then we watch as they face the reality of battle, they learn and grow and some of them die, then the movie ends in a big battle that shows the duality of war. Full Metal Jacket takes that formula and completely deconstructs it. The "main" part of FMJ that everybody remembers is the basic training section. This is ironically where the real horror of war is on full display. R. Lee Ermy basically plays himself and punishes Private Pyle to the point of ~~murder-suicide~~, and the soldiers immediately get a preview of what war is like. This section (and the others) is shot in full Kubrickean madness, with its uncanny ability to make you feel like you're going as insane as the characters on screen. It's not your typical war film, but it's undoubtedly one of the best. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:923493035] in Presenting...
