Things come to a head when Hartman discovers a jelly donut, considered contraband in the barracks (and forbidden for Lawrence to eat as he is overweight). Senior Drill Instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman introduces himself as a firm but fair instructor to the recruits, though the overweight and clumsy Leonard Lawrence immediately attracts Hartman’s ire and begins to irk the rest of the platoon with constant blunders.

released Full Metal Jacket in the United States on June 26, 1987. The film's title refers to the full metal jacket bullet used by military servicemen.

The film is based on Hasford's 1979 novel The Short-Timers and stars Matthew Modine, Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio and Adam Baldwin. 10 out of 10, perfect.Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war drama film directed and produced by Stanley Kubrick, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Herr and Gustav Hasford. Others have commented on the music, the acting, and so on, so I won't add my repetitive comments, except that the drill sergeant is perfect! The combination of the demented treatment the recruits receive in boot camp with the combined "hours of boredom, seconds of terror" feel of the Vietnam scenes is intense and not for everyone, but feels REAL. The narrator doesn't say anything that seems out-of-place. I have seen others criticize this film for the voice over, but I felt that it was used sparingly, and was helpful, not overdone.

I felt like I was walking through the movie with the Marines, from the barracks to the battlefield scenes. Less allegory and more applicability! Wonderful! The camera work was superb. In the same way that "Trainspotting" was an anti-drug film that did not gloss over anything, "Full Metal Jacket" is (for me) an anti-war film that stares straight at the ugliness of war and the potential for violence within almost all people, especially those trained, conditioned, even twisted, into military roles, without preaching even a single time.
This IS how you have to look at this film, incidentally trying to break it down into two or three parts and say which was better is missing the point of the film, I think. However I have seen a lot of action and war films, and this one, to an individual who never went to war, seems the most true-to-life, taken as a whole. First of all I love Kubrick's work, so I came into this with a bias.
