Apart from being improper for an officer to salute an enlisted man, salutes are not rendered in a combat operations area, due to snipers actively seeking officers as targets.
Also, when the Colonel says to "answer the question or you'll be standing tall before the man", Joker is, in fact. Quotes Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around.
Crazy credits End credits list a song performed by Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs, misspelling the last word as "Pharoahs. Alternate versions Originally the song Paint it Black played at a higher speed and higher pitch during the end credits but starting with the DVD re-release, whenever the movie was remixed to 5.
User reviews Review. Top review. Kubrick - yay! One of the best war-based movies ever. I like Kubrick's stuff. Generally any movie he directed was several notches, in quality terms, above any other director particularly those working nowdays. Yup, it does. As plots go. I don't particularly care because the script makes up for it. The second half is about their exploits in Vietnam itself.
In 'Nam? Haven't we seen all that before? Yes, but rarely with such an experienced hand at work. And it's the camp scenes that are so wonderful. Gustav Hasford et. There's barely a moment's pause before you're thrown into the screaming face of Sergeant Hartman. He's hurling abuse at his new recruits with lines so forceful and sharp they'll have you gasping in shock while simultaneously laughing in incredulity.
It's the way the script runs in without a pause for breath that helps so wonderfully - and the fact that it's so powerful. It's never just about one-liners from a sergeant, it's also telling a story about how humans work under these conditions.
The first half is about how they suffer under their own at home and very well told it is too , the second half about the human condition under the duress of war. It's an interesting comparison, and a tale well told. The battle may lack some sort of overall context or resolution, but then I feel that's in keeping with the movie - it's about the individual, and not the war, and such elements cannot be easily quantified.
Matthew Modine is the amiable lead, Private Joker, and as such balances the hard and soft edges admirably if not spectacularly. There's a wonderful innocence about him in the beginning, which transforms into a frightening hardening of his soul later on. All in all the cast accredit themselves well here. And so to the direction.
It's Kubrick. It's good. Once more there's excellent cinematography - check out the haunting, almost claustrophobic landscapes of Vietnam. There's some lovely use of filters that haunting blue.
There's a brilliant subtle score, that's eerie when used, but never intrusive. There's a very good command of pace - the viewer is never left idle or bored, and the story particularly in the tremendous first half flows along smoothly.
Great touches abound throughout - check out the many examples, such as the opening scene of Hartman marching right up to the recruits and to the camera , spitting and screaming vindictive comments, almost as if at the viewer. I can blather on about Kubrick for ages.
Although they do contrast and complement one another, the first half is very much the stronger half. A man is sgot in the chest we see a slowmotion medium splat of blood.
Multiple images of gunfire, dead bodies and explosions with no blood. Two dead bodies with blood on clothes are seen. A pit full of excecuted civilians covered in white powder. A soldier is shot several times to bait his comrades.
We see graphic wounds and large splashes of blood in slow motion as he writhes and cried in agony. A teen girl soldier is shot and we see her for several minutes heave as she waits for her life to end and the Marines are dexiding whether or not they should end her suffering some blood. Impecable filmmaking, each shot ironically has life injected into it with visceral grit that bleeds of the screen. Images and scene staging does wonders to reflect the psychological effects of the situations on characters.
The many scenes in vietnam offer alot of variation in action and theme that all add to eachother to create a dark journey into the darkness of war while each telling thier own story vignettes in unique and interesting ways which also applies to the iconic Bootcamp half of the film which in itself would make a great 47 minute film on its own. Filled with just the right amount of dark humor to further show how twisted things get in such an ordeal and a sense of immersion that keeps you with the characters at all times even in quieter times, Full Metal Jacket im my view is more open, watchable, though provoking and complete than Kubrick's earlier work "A Clockwork Orange".
Each scene feels important and suplementary to the characters' progression into dogs of war without demonizing or lionizing them and maintains an uncanny intimacy that makes every detail hurt, stick and move the devout analytical film viewer. Adult Written by Norico April 14, Adult Written by stevenspielbergfan July 18, Lots of clearly described bloody violence to go along with that.
Adult Written by Figgy66 July 26, Ok for 14 plus Good movie very gory though in one scene a man is sitting on the toilet picks up an M14 an shoots himselt right down the mouth resulting in blood spattering all over the wall next to him. Lots of swearing especially in boot camp. Positive role models. Parent Written by Plague December 3, Full Metal Jacket Loved it.
Kubrick's best movie by far. The whole boot camp part of the movie is my personal favorite. Lee Ermey is hilarious. Jonathan Rosenbaum. Elliptical, full of subtle inner rhymes Strangelove," as well as the most horrific; the first section alone accomplishes most of what "The Shining" failed to do. Sheila Benson. In a superb cast of mostly unknowns -- with the exception of Matthew Modine and Dorain Harewood -- D'Onofrio, who put on 60 pounds for this pivotal role, and Ermey are exceptional.
Dave Kehr. The film has undeniable power, but it's an unusual and unsettling power, a product of a collision between red-hot material and the cool serenity with which Kubrick observes and accepts it.
Judy Stone. The concluding image of men silhouetted against the dying flares of explosives, as they march to the raucous refrain of the Mickey Mouse Club theme, is masterly, but leaves a viewer curiously discomfited. Whereas "Platoon" shattered civilian complacency about that war, Full Metal Jacket is merely numbing.
Pauline Kael. What happened to the Kubrick who used to slip in sly, subtle jokes and little editing tricks?
This may be his worst movie. He probably believes he's numbing us by the power of his vision, but he's actually numbing us by its emptiness. User Score. Write a Review. User Reviews.
Full Metal Jacket is one of Stanley Kubrick's best. After seeing enough of his movies, I could say it was the average Stanley Kubrick movie, because most of them are phenomenal. The Vietnam War now under the magnifying glass of Stanley Kubrick. Here it is shown how soldiers were created through inflexible discipline, and physical and moral humiliation, to obtain mercenaries without moral ties of any kind, and how they would face external conditions at the front.
The greatest irony is the troops singing the Mickey Mouse club anthem. The film is not at the height of Platoon but still you must not lose sight of it. RodrigoBGC Sep 26, Is not only about of what does a soldier lives on the battle field is also all the process it take to become a man a killing machine, an excellent psychological movie that show you other side of the war stories.
Meth-dude Aug 13, This is the best war movie with Saving Private Ryan i have ever seen. Hilarious dialogues in the beginning and great action scenes in the end. AdrianOst07 Dec 2,
