On June 26, 1987 Stanley Kubrick wanted to give the world his vision of the journey from marine recruit to vietnam veteran in the film FULL METAL JACKET. Starring Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin,Vincent D’Onofrio and R. Lee Ermey, full metal jacket follows of group of new recruits on their transformation from civilians to marines. Now, I must say, the first half of this film is one of the rawest depictions of boot camp I’ve yet to see.The second half of the film is decent but its definitely hard to match the intensity of the beginning of this film. R. Lee Ermey delivers perhaps the best Drill Sargent performance ever. If he were actually acting he should have received an oscar but because that’s just him being himself there is no real acting out of character, but either way he is awesome in this film. Vincent D’Onofrio known more popularly by his role in LAW & ORDER : CRIMINAL INTENT also gives an awesome performance in his role as private gomer pyle. Stanley Kubrick is a cinematic genious in my eyes. He is capable of taking control of what you think you know, throw it in a blender and serve it to you on the rocks all while you enjoy watching it happen. Stanleys skill of captivation is nearly unmatched. He is the Quentin Tarentino of the 80′s or Quentin is the Kubrick of the present I should say…either way, watch the clips and enjoy some of Kubricks best work.

Looooved this movie dude. Pyle went cold cat shit crazy.
Sir, with all due respect, there’s no way Tarantino will ever be Kubrick. Kubrick was an original, with original vision, where as QT copies all the time. Granted the things he copied from (Shaw Bros., Ringo Lam, Hal Needham) were fantastic, but copied nevertheless.
Every guy should have Full Metal Jacket in their DVD shelf, just between Apocalypse Now and Platoon.
BTW, enjoying both your blogs.
you know, your right about the kubrick thing. there is only one STANLEY KUBRICK. but with the lack of creativity now-a-days, QT is the only one to atleast willing to take chances with the remakes and give you somethin different. btw thanks for the props and always feel free to voice your opinion here. all kubrick fans are def welcome
my fav Kubrick is Barry Lyndon, but this shit is off the chains,
“I wanted to see exotic Vietnam… the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture… and kill them. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill! ” – Joker (Modine)
one for the ages
