Pre-impressions before watching the movie:
One single word is enough to persuade me to watch this film: Stanley Kubrik. Regarded as one of the most technically brilliant directors with an eye for photography. But does Stanley Kubrik manage to entertain us with this flick?

Post-Impressions:

There's a major star in "Full Metal Jacket": Stanley Kubrick's direction. The background score is superb and engaging.

The movie is about the soldiers in vietnam war: Their experiences in training and actual combat. But i did not find any scene that blows your mind or fascinates you. It's just the sheer brilliance and attention to detail of stanley kubrick that adds life to the movie. The camera movements left me awestruck as i felt i was part of the action. The movie end with finale of harrowing cat-and-mouse game with a sniper.

By the way,Full metal jacket is a type of bullet.

Bottom Line:
Watch it for if you appreciate stanley kubrick's movies. But i did not find it very entertaining.
