Full Metal Jacket

 Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 American-British co-production, a war movie about the Vietnam War. Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Movie stars Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Ronald Lee Ermey. Ronald is an actor who served as a mentor during his time in the Marines. The movie cost 300 million yen to make and grossed over460 million at the box office. This movie didn't any awards, but the song in the movie was used as a parody in Japan. Kubrick said that he was disappointed that the movie was regarded as an anti-war movie.

 The first half of the film depicts the hard training of recruits at a Marine Crops. training camp, while the second half shows their actions in Vietnam. The movie is more like a peek into the raw life of recruits during the war than a depiction of winning and losing the Vietnam War. For example, the words he cursed at the new recruits and deeds of the mental state of the they go though every day. In this movie set in the Vietnam War, they were particular about the props, using Japanese model guns when there were no shooting scenes, and using actual guns from the Vietnam War for the scenes from the latter half of the movie. 

 It changed my image of war movie, I had seen in the past. When I hear "the world "war," I think of it doesn't feel realistic, without laugher, and difficult to understand. But watching Full Metal Jacket, I felt frustrated by the dialogue, and I was deeply moved when I realized that the war was fought with this kind of training and behind the scenes. I think this movie is an opportunity to learn more about war. I would like you to see what happens at last scene to the recruits who are forced to go though this harsh training in the Vietnam War.
