The best Vietnam-film ever!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 1999)

I think of Kubrick as the number one motion-picture-guru! In full metal jacket he showed us how one can portray the Vietnam-war in such a realistic way! He uses the extremely humorous dialogue, and blends in gruesome physical torture, as well as psychological abuse. This creates brilliant contrasts, and reinforcing the message, which is the bestiallity of the Vietnam-War. To quote Siskle&Ebert: Six thumbs up!!
