Full Metal Jacket (1987)
STORY LINE
Stanley Kubrick's return to filmmaking after a seven-year hiatus, this
film crystallizes the experience of the Vietnam War by concentrating on a
group of raw Marine volunteers. Based on Gustav Hasford's novel The
Short Timers, the film's first half details the volunteers' harrowing
boot-camp training under the profane, power-saw guidance of drill
instructor Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey, a real-life drill instructor
whose performance is one of the most terrifyingly realistic on record).
Part two takes place in Nam,
as seen through the eyes of the now thoroughly indoctrinated marines.
Ironically, Full Metal Jacket was filmed almost entirely in England.
