At that age in my life, 19-20, I wasn’t yet a SK fan like I am now. When I eventually saw it, I thought it was interesting, but it took me several viewings and a few courses at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (RIP) to fully appreciate Kubrick’s messages and symbolism. This film probably has the most subtle and not so subtle messages and symbolism out of all of his movies. Every time I think of a certain scene , or watch the film again, and consider the details therein, I realize there’s another thing I missed. There is so much here to analyze. The Kubrick Site is the best resource or collection of resources and articles that I know of, that cover his movies. There is at least 1 article there about FMJ. But an entire book (300 pages, say) would be the bare minimum amount of space necessary to cover everything just in this movie. As far as its realism, I have spoken with at least 1 Vietnam veteran who said that this is the best movie about that war. The most realistic. There are several pop culture events or news items that are mentioned. Such as CBS News reporter Walter Cronkite stating that the war is not winnable. He really did say that, so I’m not spoiling anything for you. The one issue about this film, that SK definitely intended, is the racist jokes. And there are a lot. A LOT. Young people of today, who are more sensitive to such “humor”, are more likely to be offended. Although, in my case, even when I told them 40 years ago, I knew they were distasteful (I stopped telling them before I graduated from high school. No one is perfect). There are also a few lines of dialogue that reference other movies (Apocalypse Now, for one) which may or may not be intentional on SK’s part. The film is quite brutal, in several respects (violence, racist jokes, racism specifically concerning Asian people, sexist jokes and observations). This movie is definitely not for those with weak stomachs or who are easily offended. But none of SK’s films starting with Lolita are (other than 2001, and Dr. Strangelove, more or less). Highly recommended, if any of the 3 things I mentioned in the subject line are of interest to you. Review: The best the film has ever looked on 4K UHD. - Nothing worrisome to report here. This is a nice package and release from Warner on another Kubrick classic. The colors are quite a bit better in HDR, and I have never personally seen the film so detailed. Scenes that were previously fairly soft still have some softness, but there is quite a bit more detail evident in most areas. The 1.78:1 transfer fills the TV and seems to be about what Kubrick would have intended. It's a superb transfer of a catalog release that everyone should give a chance. The bluray also looks fantastic and is fully remastered, with the usual very small differences that lend the 4K presentation an age in every area. You can't really go wrong here. There is a mono audio track at a respectable--for mono--192kbps and the DTS HD 5.1 track repurposed from the previous LPCM 5.1 audio. It sounds fairly decent, but don't expect to be blown away there. All around we have another safe and high-quality catalog release of a classic film. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084WKXP77 | | Actors | Adam Baldwin, Dorian Harewood, Lee Ermey, Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,397 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #18 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #172 in Drama Blu-ray Discs #281 in Action & Adventure Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,176) | | Digital Copy Expiration Date | September 30, 2022 | | Director | Stanley Kubrick | | Dubbed: | Spanish | | Item model number | 883929704712 | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | NTSC | | Number of discs | 2 | | Producers | Jan Harlan, Stanley Kubrick | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.02 ounces | | Release date | September 22, 2020 | | Run time | 1 hour and 56 minutes | | Studio | WarnerBrothers | | Subtitles: | Spanish | | Writers | Gustav Hasford, Michael Herr, Stanley Kubrick | ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Action & Adventure, Drama, Military & War - **Initial release date:** 2020-09-22 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Full Metal Jacket (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QTte23xCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s Vietnam, the USMC, and SK’s layers of symbolism *by S***E on November 26, 2023* When this film was first released, I wasn’t interested in seeing it (though I did see Platoon).
