Full Metal Jacket - Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3

Full Metal Jacket - Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3

Model number: 118626 | SKU: 8510266

Stanley Kubrick's return to filmmaking after a seven-year hiatus, this film crystallizes the experience of the Vietnam War by concentrating on a group of raw Marine volunteers. Based on Gustav Hasford's novel The Short Timers, the film's first half details the volunteers' harrowing boot-camp training under the profane, power-saw guidance of drill instructor Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey, a real-life drill instructor whose performance is one of the most terrifyingly realistic on record). Part two takes place in Nam, as seen through the eyes of the now thoroughly indoctrinated marines. Ironically, Full Metal Jacket was filmed almost entirely in England. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

War Masterpiece from Kubrick   11/09/2007
By arnieb from Redlands, CA

"This by far one of the greatest war films ever, and yet another masterpiece by the great Stanley Kubrick.
This film consists of two parts: The Training and The Fighting.
The first half of the movie we get to spend with some soldiers going through basic training and then go with them to Vietnam.
This film does not turn a blind eye to the atrocities that happened during Vietnam. The film also focuses greatly on the juxtaposing of ideas: wanting "Peace", yet "Born to Kill."
