After cutting his teeth on anti-war films like PATHS OF GLORY, FEAR AND DESIRE and DR. STRANGELOVE, Kubrick returns to the combat film genre and rips the skin from the face of war to expose the dehumanizing effect of the military on the people fed to its emotional meat grinder in FULL METAL JACKET. Through the eyes of an 18-year-old recruit--from his first days in the seeming hell of Marine Corps boot camp as his superiors try to strip of him his individuality and re-create him as a Marine, to the hell of the 1968 Tet offensive, Kubrick reveals the damage done to the collective human soul by the inhumanity of war. Based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford. Starring Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, and Vincent D'Onofrio

1987 | 116 min. | R | USA
Dir. Stanley Kubrick
