    • Released: 1987
    • Directed by: Stanley Kubrick
    Full Metal Jacket, a war film directed by Stanley Kubrick, etches a stark portrait of the Vietnam War. The movie is split into two distinct parts. In the first, Private 'Joker' Davis (Matthew Modine) endures the grueling rigors of basic training under the harsh command of Drill Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey). The second half thrusts Joker into the chaotic urban warfare of Hue City. Notable for its realistic depiction of military life and war's dehumanizing effects, Full Metal Jacket is a cinematic exploration of man's inhumanity to man.
