Full Metal Jacket

Synopsis: Director Stanley Kubrick rips the skin from the face of war to expose the dehumanizing effect of the military on the people fed to its emotional meat grinder in Full Metal Jacket. Through the eyes of an 18-year-old recruit--from his first days in the seeming Hell of Marine boot camp as his superiors try to strip of him his individuality and re-create him as a soldier to the Hell of the 1968 Tet offensive, Kubrick reveals the damage done to the collective human soul by the inhumanity of war.; show more

classic

The synopsis sounds great and the film proves to be equally great as it unveils the monstrosities of being in the army. Funny, violent and thought-provoking this film is worth seeing if you've ever questioned what war does to a man.
