Much more than just a war movie, Kubrick nailed it!

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2013)

Full Metal Jacket begins with perhaps the most enjoyable forty-five minutes in the history of all film. FMJ is one of my all time favorite movies by one of my favorite directors. This movies is just another staple in Kubrick's more than impressive film career. Unlike Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan, FMJ takes a look into a soldiers Psyche. It shows us how these guys actually went through hell to become Marines and how they are put under so much stress and pressure. Its more about their journey into the war than the war itself and that's what makes this movie stand out. Just an incredible film that is sure a classic. The totality of war, from the loss of self to ultimately the loss of life, has never been as thoroughly examined as in Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.Its 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.
