Filled with just the right amount of dark humor to further show how twisted things get in such an ordeal and a sense of immersion that keeps you with the characters at all times even in quieter times, Full Metal Jacket (im my view) is more open, watchable, though provoking and complete than Kubrick's earlier work 'A Clockwork Orange'. The many scenes in vietnam offer alot of variation in action and theme that all add to eachother to create a dark journey into the darkness of war while each telling thier own story vignettes in unique and interesting ways which also applies to the iconic Bootcamp half of the film which in itself would make a great 47 minute film on its own.

Images and scene staging does wonders to reflect the psychological effects of the situations on characters. Impecable filmmaking, each shot (ironically) has life injected into it with visceral grit that bleeds of the screen. A teen girl soldier is shot and we see her for several minutes heave as she waits for her life to end and the Marines are dexiding whether or not they should end her suffering (some blood). We see graphic wounds and large splashes of blood in slow motion as he writhes and cried in agony. A soldier is shot several times to bait his comrades. A pit full of excecuted civilians covered in white powder. Two dead bodies with blood on clothes are seen. Multiple images of gunfire, dead bodies and explosions with no blood.

A man is sgot in the chest we see a slowmotion medium splat of blood. A graphic suicide by rifle with splattered blood, matter and bone.

Sexual references including, penis size, gang rape, horniness, hookers, libido and sodomy.Įmotional abuse during tense training. 55 F words (a couple of C words) alongside many other lesser profanites.
