Full Metal Jacket

In 1968, South Vietnam came under a large-scale sweeping attack from North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces. Many cities and rural areas were attacked simultaneously. Within days though, American forces were able to turn back the onslaught and recapture most areas. This massive attack became know as the Tet Offensive. From strictly a military point of view, the Tet Offensive was a huge defeat for the North, but the Tet Offensive was a huge psychological victory. It serve to show America that the light at the end of this tunnel was much farther away than they had realized.

Stanley Kubrick, in the second half of his movie, Full Metal Jacket, used the Tet Offensive to strip away all of the romantics of war. Also, he accomplishes the same effect in the first half, which took place at the Marine Boot Camp in Parris Island. Full Metal Jacket shows war to be harsh and cold as the devil himself, and boot camp to be grueling enough to literally drive a man mad. This is quite unlike the war movies that were made in yester decade that glamorized war and filled it with stars as big as John “The Duke” Wayne. Stanley Kubrick did a surpassing job in shattering the romantic image of the hell known as war.
