From "Dr. Strangelove", "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Shining" all the way, I am all too familiar with the name Kubrick. I have to admire this master director. His irony is unmatched by any famous director. If Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence" is directed by him, it is bound to become a classic again. . "Full Metal Jacket" has been hailed by many fans as "the best Vietnam War movie ever made." I totally agree. If "Dr. Strangelove" was a wonderful satire in the shadow of nuclear during the Cold War, and "A Clockwork Orange" was about sex, violence, and humanity, then "Full Metal Jacket" is the ultimate reflection on humanity and war. Kubrick once said, "People can be very kind, and they can be extremely ugly. The problem is that if our purpose is in line with one of them, the difference between the two will be very difficult." The film can be divided into two parts. The first part mainly talks about the change of human nature from good to ugly. In eight weeks, a person can be turned into a killing machine. The lines that make people laugh add a satirical effect to the film. , these ironic effects are linked to the discipline of the army, although it seems out of place, but it is very real, as if I was trained in it. The ending is the first climax of the whole film. The second part mainly talks about the recovery of human nature from the ugly to the good. After the war, their human nature was severely tested. Some of them gradually felt that the war was wrong, and their human nature began to recover, and the ending was also the first In the second climax, the soldier called "The Clown" reluctantly shot the Vietnamese female soldier. On the theme of exploring the relationship between human nature and war, this film based on the Vietnam War has gone a step further in the excavation of complex human nature, human schizophrenia, and human duality, causing a lot of controversy. Controversial films are more likely to become classics, and Full Metal Jacket did.
