Full metal jacket is the best anti-war movie I have ever seen. As soon as the movie started, it depicted the real struggle of being in marines.

The scene in which all recruits…

In its ability to both challenge and confront previous conventions of the Hollywood war film genre, Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket (1987) is a provocative and philosophical cinematic experience.

J.T. ‘Joker’ Davis (Matthew Modine), a Maine Corps recruit. Viewers see Joker go through a…
