Editor's note

Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket examines the Vietnam War through the eyes of a platoon of U.S. Marines, from their grueling training under a ruthless drill sergeant to the dehumanizing effects of combat. The film is split into two distinct halves, presenting a stark look at the making of soldiers and the chaos of war.
