Kubrick is a f**king genius!
Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" seems like an uncomplete film, but to me that's poetic to one of America's uncompleter wars. The film is harsh and doesn't turn a blind eye to the atrocities of Vietnam. Kubrick is the true master of atmosphere in film. He makes you feel like your there. Friends of mine have commented that they only like the first half of the film and the second half just falls apart. The first half is set up to be an understandable reflection of the terror that would eventually enter lives of these soliders during war.

Yeah...
I purchased A Clockwork Orange to add to my many DVD collection...Loved it...I mean it was original and had a good...not so sad but suspensful theme to it.

Then I bought this...About the first 40 some minutes were great...An a** hole army leader that treated his troops like [...] and of course was funny as hell about it...But what upset me was he victimized the nicest guy...A well...Special guy to say the least, alright I'll say it...He victimized a retarded guy who was all around a happy nice guy and slightly overweight, not too bright...and that guy was tortured and not treated nicely..his name was Sgt. Pyle(as the leader called him), and Pyle in the movie ends up killing the leader then himself...the 2 greatest charactars of the film...Taht ruined it.

Dispite that it was a good movie...not near great, but good, go get A Clockwork Orange.

Why no widescreen?
Despite previous comments this movie was released in 1.85 aspect ratio. See IMDB for confirmation. Potential buyers should realize the current DVD is not the original aspect ratio. We really need widescreen DVD version for this great film.
