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.

  • A war masterpiece from a filmmaking giant.

    Seven long years after filming THE SHINING, master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick reemerged with an ambitious, distinctive epic about Vietnam. Unlike the grand scale of APOCALYPSE NOW and THE DEER HUNTER, FULL METAL JACKET is a claustrophobic vision of war seen from the prospective of Private Joker (played by the talented, yet underrated Matthew Modine). Adapted from Gustav Hasford’s novel, the film is divided into two acts. The first act follows a rigorous basic training course run by the sadistic Gunnery Sgt. Hartman as portrayed by R. Lee Ermey (who was undeniably born for the role). Under Ermey’s aggressive command, Joker along with fellow fighters Cowboy (Arliss Howard) and Gomer (Vincent D’Onofrio) experience the dehumanization of turning ordinary men into cold killing machines. This ...

  • Full Metal Jacket - 1987

    One of the best war movies of all time. Stanley Kubrick's classic about a soldier's path through basic traning and the Vietnam War, this film has it all; humor, horror and political commentary. It is how we now know R. Lee Ermey as the loud Sargent. For all the film details, including full plot summary, click 'More Information' above.
