Stanley Kubrick Full
Metal Jacket (1987) it is an action packed movie. It follows the life of a
solder during his tour of the Vietnam War. I like war movies because my
grandfather was in the Pacific Theater of World War 2, and I like to hear about
all of his stories as a bombardier in the Pacific.
Matthew Modine(Who played Pvt. J.T. Davis or Joker was his nick name) he also
played in The Dark Night, Transporter 2, and Vision Quest.

In his written reviews he says
"Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket is more like a
book of short stories than a novel. I like
it as a short story, and I would not like to see them walking from place to
place because it would get rely long and boring. By make it in to a lot more
snippets they were able to include a lot more.
The opening passages of "Full Metal Jacket" promise
much more than the film finally is able to deliver. I disagree with that, because I thought it was a great movie
with a great. War is horrific. The innocent get drawn into it in order to survive
but often they don't.
Kubrick seems to want to tell us the story of individual
characters, to show how the war affected them, but it has been so long since he
allowed spontaneous human nature into his films that he no longer knows how. I really disagree with him, I think Kubrick did a phenomenal
job letting you get to know the character.
