Full Metal Jacket, One Of The Best War Movies

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2002)

Full Metal Jacket, is one of the best war movies. The director Stanley Kubrick is a master at movie making. This movie is not only brilliant but also emotional because it is, of course, about war. The movie is like two movies put into one. The first half is when the men go into training and the second part is when they go to the Vietnam War. The tracking shots were a very big part of the movie because it felt like you were actually in the war with the American soldiers. The acting of Matthew Modine (Joker) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Private Pyle)is superb. The scene with the men walking on the field at night singing the Mickey Mouse Club Song is brilliantly thought up of and brilliantly made. I gave this movie a 10 because let's face it, it was THAT good.
