Full of metal...

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2015)

"Full Metal Jacket" is a movie which is based on the war of Vietnam and it shows us which are the results of this war from the eyes of a U.S Marine. We watch these results from his entrance to the boot camp training until the bloody street fighting in Hue.
The truth is that we have many movies with the subject of the war of Vietnam but I believe that each one of those movies are different one to each other and this is something that makes these movies unique. I liked this movie because of the storyline and the interpretation of Matthew Modine who played as Pvt. J.T. 'Joker' Davis. Another interpretation that had to be mentioned is the interpretation of Vincent D'Onofrio who played as Pvt. Leonard 'Gomer Pyle' Lawrence and he was really good at it. About the direction of Stanley Kubrick I have to say that for one more time was magnificent.
Finally I believe that "Full Metal Jacket" is a great movie that shows some of the events that took place in the war of Vietnam and make us think of them. Also this movie shows us all of that from a different angle than the other movies and this is the interesting part of this movie.
