Visual History
Full Metal Jacket is a critically acclaimed 1987
British-American war film. Directed and co-written by esteemed film director
Stanley Kubrick, the film successfully added to his expanding roster of
timeless movies.
Based on the 1979 novel ‘The Short Timers’ by Gustav Hasford,
Full Metal Jacket recounts the Vietnam war in vivid detail. While not a direct
true story, the novel drew heavily from Hasford’s experiences during the
Vietnam war as a Marine correspondent, granting Kubrick’s adaptation a level of
authenticity missing from many entries in the war film genre.
Full Metal Jacket attempted to capture Hasford’s depiction
of the reality of war in cinematic detail, taking the audience on an
eye-opening journey through the events of this harrowing conflict.
Following an American military unit, Full Metal Jacket stars
Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin, Dorian Harewood, Vincent D’Onforio, R. Lee Ermey,
Arliss Howard, and Ed O’Ross. This stellar cast brings the film together in a
passionately articulated bow, drawing on the mentality of soldiers serving
during this violent war.
Starting in the earliest days of basic training and
transitioning fluidly into the carnage of war itself, Full Metal Jacket shows
the sad truth of how effectively soldiers can be dehumanised, allowing them to
carry out acts of violence that would normally be considered abhorrent.
Featuring accurate depiction of soldiers and their drill
instructors, Full Metal Jacket is both a cinematic masterpiece and a film
closely treasured by many a serving marine to this day.
Realised faithfully based on studies of authentic
photographs and documentaries, Kubrick managed to uncover the essence of the Vietnam
war in a way never before captured on film.
Supported by and drawing on the experience of his civilian
correspondent, Michael Herr, Kubrick managed to develop the dark comedy aspects
that perforate this iconic film.
