Taking an intense and personal look into the Vietnam war and the American Marine Corps, ‘Full Metal Jacket’ tracks the progress of a group of wannabe killing machines, from military training camp to the battlefields of Vietnam. The only problem is, with the aforementioned films ranked in my top 20 of all time, ‘Full Metal Jacket’ would always struggle to match up. So, with ‘Full Metal Jacket’ sat on my DVD shelves, I would be a fool not to delve further into Kubrick’s catalogue and explore a very different side to his work. I realised that the first time I watched the beautifully bizarre ‘A Clockwork Orange’, but after recently watching ‘ 2001: A Space Odyssey’ I was truly in awe of the legendary director. Stanley Kubrick is a master filmmaker, no question.
