5.0 out of 5 stars It’s Vietnam, the USMC, and SK’s layers of symbolism
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2023
Verified Purchase
When this film was first released, I wasn’t interested in seeing it (though I did see Platoon). At that age in my life, 19-20, I wasn’t yet a SK fan like I am now.

When I eventually saw it, I thought it was interesting, but it took me several viewings and a few courses at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (RIP) to fully appreciate Kubrick’s messages and symbolism.

This film probably has the most subtle and not so subtle messages and symbolism out of all of his movies. Every time I think of a certain scene , or watch the film again, and consider the details therein, I realize there’s another thing I missed. There is so much here to analyze. The Kubrick Site is the best resource or collection of resources and articles that I know of, that cover his movies. There is at least 1 article there about FMJ. But an entire book (300 pages, say) would be the bare minimum amount of space necessary to cover everything just in this movie.

As far as its realism, I have spoken with at least 1 Vietnam veteran who said that this is the best movie about that war. The most realistic. There are several pop culture events or news items that are mentioned. Such as CBS News reporter Walter Cronkite stating that the war is not winnable. He really did say that, so I’m not spoiling anything for you.

The one issue about this film, that SK definitely intended, is the racist jokes. And there are a lot. A LOT. Young people of today, who are more sensitive to such “humor”, are more likely to be offended. Although, in my case, even when I told them 40 years ago, I knew they were distasteful (I stopped telling them before I graduated from high school. No one is perfect).

There are also a few lines of dialogue that reference other movies (Apocalypse Now, for one) which may or may not be intentional on SK’s part.

The film is quite brutal, in several respects (violence, racist jokes, racism specifically concerning Asian people, sexist jokes and observations). This movie is definitely not for those with weak stomachs or who are easily offended. But none of SK’s films starting with Lolita are (other than 2001, and Dr. Strangelove, more or less).

Highly recommended, if any of the 3 things I mentioned in the subject line are of interest to you.

Oh Boy, the Po Boy
5.0 out of 5 stars Soft Core in a Hard Package
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
When I teach my film classes, I find that Kubrick (along with Hitchcock) is one of the most misunderstood filmmakers of the last century. Why is an essential component of this filmmaker (as well as others) lost in the translation? Part of it seems to be the separation between film history/criticism in the United States, where film enthusiasts seem content with the film alone, and forget that, prior to the internet, movies existed within a network of criticism that extended from the Westcoast Studios to the Eastcoast critics, and stretched overseas, where brilliant essayists like Truffaut were able to pick apart the latest offerings in the pages of the Cahiers du Cinema. These filmmakers used the theater as an extension of a critical dialogue that helped explain their core philosophies; the New york Critics and European Essayists were really cinematic linguists who helped to make sense of the "linguistic" complexity of a medium whose essential grammar seems to be more or less intuitive, both concrete and abstract.

The transition to more escapist fare (at least in the late 70s studio Hollywood system) has meant a transition in the critical world as well; with the popularity of the Cinematic Essayist waning in the last 20 years, being instead replaced by schtick and the "every man" approach to film reviews, and a cruel thumbs-up, thumbs-down approach -- more or less a symptom of our collective attention deficit. While these approaches are necessary, the lack of educated "cinematic linguists" is resulting in the loss of understanding when it comes to our most important filmmakers, of which Kubrick is undoubtedly one.

For instance, it surprises most people to know that one of our most important stylists considered himself to be an "objective director." Kubrick's minimalist, nuanced, distanced style is really the product of his core philosophy which was to "observe" rather than to "impart." Kubrick aligned himself with documentarians who used aesthetic restraint in crafting ethnographic narratives. In fact, if you really study the man -- his writings, his interviews -- you will find that his entire career was really a quest for cinematic truth. He constantly struggled against his own interpretation and impressions of events, to try to give a multi-faceted view of reality and drama, of which he believed that narrative itself was really an unnatural hallucination imposed on a series of random events by the mind's need to rationalize and organize.

Kubrick struggled against not only studio narrative -- the classic three-act structure -- which he found predictable and as pedestrian as an overly familiar nursery rhyme; but he also resisted the narrative of the mind, its need to simplify, reduce, and impose. Even more than that, Kubrick struggled against the medium itself.

In an interview, Kubrick opined about the need to import rocks onto the set of Full Metal Jacket, to acquire the realism he knew would be beyond his reach with simulation. Sounding a lot like Jorge Luis Borges speaking about the problems of a truly realistic map, he explained the natural processes that would go into the formation of those rocks, with which Hollywood verisimilitude just could not compete. Importing those rocks is proof of Kubrick's devotion to objectivity, which he felt was constantly compromised and corrupted by the cinematic medium itself (never mind that those rocks existed on a fabricated sound stage in London -- but Kubrick's philosophy on realism/formalism was always filled with contradictions).

It's interesting to note that critical interpretation of Stanley Kubrick largely fails because it excludes the man's own take on his own material. Never being one to shut down another's opinion, Kubrick nevertheless had very strong and opinionated feelings about his own films, opinions that seem incredibly out-of-step with popular interpretation of his work.

I would like to remind the reader (whoever has been kind enough to stay with me thus far), an obvious fact, that will seem more obvious in retrospect -- Kubrick had a lifelong fascination with the propagandistic nature of cinema as well as the theme of social brainwashing. A better word for brainwashing is "conditioning" as it's broader and encompasses what Kubrick felt was the most consistent theme running throughout the entirety of his work. Kubrick was obsessed with how man's psyche could be conditioned -- through media, through government, through aristocracy, through peer pressure, etc. And in the end, he was fascinated by the struggle between an individual's innate nature and the outside, coercive forces that threatened to eliminate his nature or suppress it once and for all.

"Full Metal Jacket" has the observationalist impulse of a documentary, the lyric quality of silent cinema, the rigorous technical prowess of Max Ophuls, and the elliptical, bifurcated narrative of an art house movie. In light of these influences, "Full Metal Jacket" is less an unconventional, frustrating war movie, than a logical realization of Kubrick's core aesthetic principles as applied to the Viet Nam conflict. That being the case, what unites the two "halves" of Full Metal Jacket is the theme of "social conditioning." A soldier is like a full metal jacket -- his outer shell is formed by a rigid, brutalizing, indifferent, nearly industrial process, and yet, somewhere beneath is the soft material that can prove pliant and powerful in the wrong hands. Viewed from this perspective, the second half of "Full Metal Jacket" is not as off-putting as some have unfairly suggested. For those who are intimately familiar with the man's philosophies, the "second half" is a natural consequence of the first half, and succeeds brilliantly in emphasizing Kubrick's fascination with man's duality -- a duality that becomes more apparent in a sustained and prolonged conflict between two national dualities.

(If you really want insight into the work of Kubrick or other filmmakers, do not divorce them from their influences, or their own philosophies which exist in interviews, private notes, and other secondary and third sources).

4.0 out of 5 stars I must admit, I love the boot camp scenes!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2022
Verified Purchase
I went through USMC boot camp around the time that Full Metal Jacket depicts. The first time I saw it, a couple of years ago, I was laughing, remembering similar experiences as to what was on the screen (that weren't so funny back in 1966!)! It is about as accurate a depiction of boot camp at that time as it could be, all things considered. It should be - Lee Ermey was a drill instructor at that time - although it is unclear if he was in San Diego or Parris Island.

Things not accurate - the Senior DI was NOT with us all of the time. The junior DIs, who were visible in the background in the movie, were the ones that did most of what GSGT Hartman is depicted as doing. We were in quonson huts in MCRD San Diego, not nice barracks shown in the movie. I don't know what the accommodations were in Parris Island. There was a little more "physical persuasion" used on the recruits than is shown in the movie. When we went to Camp Pendleton for ITR (infantry training regiment) a guy came into our barracks right after we arrived from San Diego. He was wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. He walked up to my buddy H and asked H if he knew who was speaking to him. H said no - and the guy decked H, sucker punched him. He then introduced himself to the company as our troop handler.

I saw it again recently with my spouse. I still laugh at the boot camp scenes, and my spouse probably thinks I am crazy!

Muy buena transferencia en 4 K del último alegato antibelicista de Kubrick, con una abrumadora primera media hora. Aunque la reproducción del “press kit” del estreno está en francés, el disco es idéntico al de las demás ediciones y, para los que lo necesiten, incluye doblaje castellano. Incluye el póster original y el facsímil de una carta mecanografiada de Kubrick, pero corregida de su puño letra, en cuanto a texto y formato, muy reveladora de la meticulosidad obsesiva del realizador. Todo se guarda en una caja de cartón duro muy compacta. Por el mismo precio, o incluso inferior, que otras ediciones sencillas, se trata de una ganga.
