Product Description:

Amazon.com:
Stanley Kubrick’s 1987, penultimate film seemed to a lot of people to be contrived and out of touch with the ’80s vogue for such intensely realistic portrayals of the Vietnam War as Platoon and The Deer Hunter. Certainly, Kubrick gave audiences plenty of reason to wonder why he made the film at all: essentially a two-part drama that begins on a Parris Island boot camp for rookie Marines and abruptly switches to Vietnam (actually shot on sound stages and locations near London), Full Metal Jacket comes across as a series of self-contained chapters in a story whose logical and thematic development is oblique at best. Then again, much the same was said about Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, a masterwork both enthralled with and satiric about the future’s role in the unfinished business of human evolution. In a way, Full Metal Jacket is the wholly grim counterpart of 2001. While the latter is a truly 1960s film, both wide-eyed and wary, about the intertwining of progress and isolation (ending in our redemption, finally, by death), Full Metal Jacket is a cynical, Reagan-era view of the 1960s’ hunger for experience and consciousness that fulfilled itself in violence. Lee Ermey made film history as the Marine drill instructor whose ritualized debasement of men in the name of tribal uniformity creates its darkest angel in a murderous half-wit (Vincent D’Onofrio). Matthew Modine gives a smart and savvy performance as Private Joker, the clowning, military journalist who yearns to get away from the propaganda machine and know firsthand the horrific revelation of the front line. In Full Metal Jacket, depravity and fulfillment go hand in hand, and it’s no wonder Kubrick kept his steely distance from the material to make the point. –Tom Keogh

Rating: - A True Masterpiece
This is a true masterpiece, a work of art, and the best war movie I have ever seen. It’s not a “Hollywood” war film with a happy ending. It actually shows the reality of war, and more importantly, conveys the message that war is hell. Not to say that there aren’t some good combat scenes, because there were. But the point of the movie was to show the true impact of war. And they did that so well, in part of the excellent acting by Vincent D’Onofrio, and in part of the script in general. Almost anyone … Read More

Rating: - Awesome movie
Typical Stanley Kubrick movie,very well done in respect to detail and knowledge of that era. Just a few bloopers,but you have to look for them.The price is right from AMAZON as usual,a good buy.

Rating: - “Ain’t war hell?”
Matthew Modine as Private Joker plays a marine boot camp trainee trying to make it off the island and go to war in Vietnam. Along with others, he endures the harsh training and abuse from the lead drill instructor. Pvt. Joker soon witnesses both the horrors of boot camp and war in Vietnam.

Stanley Kubrick is responsible for a few of my favorite films, with “Full Metal Jacket” being one of them. As a former vet myself(but not a marine), this film is so close to the real thing I still get … Read More

Rating: - MOST REALISTIC WAR MOVIE OF ALL TIME
This is my favorite war movie of all time. It feels more like a documentary than a movie. Their depiction of boot camp is as brutal I expect it was 20 years ago. The war scenes are so realistic you will be ducking to dodge the bullets. This entire movie is interesting not a bad part in it. For those of you with little ones at home I warn you this movie has a ton of very foul language in it so you might to watch it after the kids go to sleep.

Rating: - Full Metal Jacket
Full Metal Jacket

I was very much unsatisfied with this product for one simple reason. It came in full screen format. I ordered it along with two other DVD titles.

Both of the other movies came in wide-screen versions. I only buy movies in wide-screen. Perhaps it was my own fault for not being more specific, but I don’t recall having an option. I am aware that I could have returned it. I decided instead to give it away as a Christmas present rather than go through the headache … Read More
