General information
“Full Metal Jacket” is a 1987 war movie directed by Stanley Kubrick. The movie is set during the Vietnam War and follows a group of U.S. Marines through their basic training and combat experiences.
The movie is known for its powerful portrayal of the psychological effects of war on soldiers and the dehumanizing nature of military training. The movie stars Matthew Modine, Vincent D’Onofrio, R. Lee Ermey, and Adam Baldwin.
The first half of the movie focuses on the Marines’ training under the brutal and sadistic Sergeant Hartman (Ermey), while the second half follows the Marines as they are sent to Vietnam and experience the horrors of war firsthand.
“Full Metal Jacket” received critical acclaim upon its release and is now considered a classic of the war movie genre. It is known for its memorable quotes, such as Hartman’s iconic insults and Private Joker’s (Modine) famous line, “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.”
