Description: Full Metal Jacket Full Metal Jacket is a British-American war film produced and directed by STANLEY Kubrick, released in 1987.The film is inspired by the novel Le Merdier (The Short Timers) by Gustav Hasford4 and the war memoirs by Michael Herr, entitled Dispatches. Its title refers to a type of armored bullet.The film, which depicts young soldiers of the Marine Corps in the late 1960s, is composed of two distinct parts: in the first, we witness their training at Parris Island and, in the second, we see them during of the Vietnam War caught in the urban fighting of the Tết Offensive. Each of the two parts constitutes a particular narrative leading, in both cases, to a dramatic outcome. The central theme of the first part is that of psychological conditioning, echoing the radical techniques of correcting delinquents developed in one of Kubrick's earlier films, A Clockwork Orange (1971).

The new recruits of which he is a part are taken in hand by the ruthless instructor-sergeant Hartman, an individual with manly and direct methods. Practicing an art of instruction based on insult and humiliation, Hartman focuses his attention on Private Lawrence, a flabby young man, whom he nicknames "Gomer Pyle"a ("Big Whale" in French). .
