Episode # 395 Full Metal Jacket full metal jacket with Babs and Fran from Over/Underrated podcast
Babs and Fran from Over/Underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Bab’s choice Full Metal Jacket.
Full Metal Jacket (1987) is Stanley Kubrick’s ‘war is hell’ film based on the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers by U.S Marine Gustav Hasford. It stars Matthew Modine as Private James T. "Joker" Davis, Vincent D'Onofrio as Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle” Lawrence and R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant L. Hartman.
Unusually for a Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket primarily focuses on the gruelling eight-week drill training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. During the boot camp, Leonard is relentlessly tormented by Gunnery Sergeant, who nicknames him "Gomer Pyle” and bullies him over his weight. Joker at first is inclined to help Leonard but pulls back after a jelly doughnut incident incites punishment for the whole platoon. The second half sees Joker as a sergeant based in Da Nang as a reporter, finally seeing some action.
Full Metal Jacket is a classic anti-war film, it central theme is about the abuse of young men by the military and the abuse turning them into killing machines that kill other men as well as women and children.
Recommendability scores for Full Metal Jacket were mixed, like the film itself, the first half is stronger than the second half. It’s near two hour runtime gave for lower repeat viewing and engagement scores and Full Metal Jacket scores 2.92 overall.
