Full Metal Jacket (1987). A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.

In a lot of ways, this is a lot more conventional than I thought it was going to be, especially coming from a director like Kubrick. He's a master of finding new ways into stories, but for me - - I don't know. There was nothing particularly new here. That's not to say it's bad - it's very good, with great performances and some stunning cinematography, and a clear political position (which felt all the clearer after watching Good Morning, Vietnam), but it still left me a little cold. Still, a very good film, with a few excellent moments. 7.5/10.
