Great film...

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2011)

Full Metal Jacket is the 5th film from Kubrick that I have seen. It probably ranks in the middle. It is definitely a great film, never once boring, and each of it's halves contrast each other well. The first half is more comedic, but as it goes on it ends in a disturbing and shocking scene. The second half is more combat, but while it has a different tone it is to be noted how amazingly Kubrick is still able to give his trademark signature in different types of films.
There is something hypnotizing about this film, just like every other Kubrick film. What I really love though is that this film sort of stands apart because as style goes it probably is more distinctive than 2001, The Shining, or even Clockwork Orange. Still, great film.
