My First Kubrick Experience!!

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2007)

This was my first Kubrick experience, and Im a fan oh his Outstanding direction now. The most different and genuine plot for a war movie. 'Full Metal Jacket' focuses on the dehumanization effects of war on soldiers. It is a well paced movie presented in a very interesting manner. The movie is divided into 2 sections, one in the training academy and the second at Vietnam. The movie starts from the training academy, where war movies usually does not go to explore. Im not going to spoil your experience by revealing more of its plot. I didn't have a clue about the movies plot, and that maybe the reason I enjoyed it a lot. A clever movie, with great cinematography, excellent script and an outstanding direction.
The casting was also excellent with my favorite performance being from Vincent D'Onofrio and R. Lee Ermey . Its a great movie and its interesting throughout, though not as interesting as the first half.
Overall its a disturbing and realistic masterpiece, a must see if you enjoy war movies.
