Full Metal Jacket 1987
Full Metal Jacket Shell) In 1987, I
watched two Stanley Kubrick movies in a row in the last two days. No way, why did they rank so close in IMDB250?
Before I watched this movie, I always thought it was a sci-fi movie. After watching it, I realized that it was nothing like a sci-fi movie. The movie tells the story of the Marine Corps. The story can be divided into two parts. The first half describes the story of the recruits receiving training in the Marine Corps barracks, and the second half tells the story of what happened in Vietnam after the training. In the first half of the barracks training, the recruits received extraordinary training. Except for a stupid and fat stupid boy, everyone else completed the training very well. But this stupid and stupid person often implicated everyone and was punished, so they taught the fat man a lesson late at night. After that night, the fat man was like a different person, completing every training very well. However, on the last day of training, the fat man shot and killed his trainer as if he was crazy. In the second half of the film, a man with glasses who was in a training camp with Fatty was assigned to Vietnam as a war correspondent. The man in glasses angered his boss and was ordered to interview the frontline troops. After finding another man with glasses who was also a training camp comrade, they took part in an operation. They were attacked by a sniper in the action and lost several people, including the later man with glasses. After they finally killed the Vietnamese sniper, they discovered that the sniper was originally a woman. This is the story the film tells, there is no complete plot, it is very trivial.
According to my understanding, the name of the film, "Full Metal Shell", should refer to the killing weapon and also the killing machine-the Marine Corps. The movie describes the story of these killing machines. The description of the military camp in the first part of the film allows the audience to understand how these killing machines were created, how humanity disappeared, and how each living person became a machine without emotions and thoughts. The description in the second half of the film tells us how these killing machines play a role in war and how to wipe out the only trace of humanity. After watching the movie, I feel that this film, like other Vietnam-themed films in the United States, still portrays the cruelty of war, expresses the injustice of the Vietnam War, and the destruction of human nature caused by the Vietnam War. The theme of this movie is an old tune for me, not new at all.
Regarding the Vietnam War, it should be the most photographed combat theme in the United States. "We were warriors", "Apocalypse Now", "Field Platoon", "Deer Hunter" and so on. As a Chinese, I have been numb to it. Compared with these movies, the most impressive and shocking thing is "Apocalypse Now". Its shooting methods, perspectives, and music are the most unique, and the topics covered by the film are the most profound. The other movies cannot be said to be unsightly, but they gave me less shock. Especially for this film, except for the slightly cruel end of the film sniper battle, the impact of other parts is not great. In most of the scenes in Vietnam, most of the time is narrating the current situation, prostitution, different opinions in the army, political trends in the United States and abroad, etc. The film can reflect multiple aspects of the Vietnam War through these plots, but it lacks the kind of shocking. Scenes. In addition, the description of the training camp in the first half of the film seemed very cruel, but this cruelty made me very dull, just like the training in the movie, it made me fall asleep. In short, this is not the best film that reflects the Vietnam War I have ever seen. Of course, this film is still good, although it is not the number one, but it is also among the best. People’s aesthetic desires are endless. If you’ve seen it well, you don’t want to look at the ordinary.
The style of the film is unique, giving people a sense of silence and no breath of life. Starting from the training camp, the boring and tedious training, the hysterical roar of the trainer, the quiet battle on the Vietnamese battlefield, the comrades who fell in the blood from time to time, and so on. These icy pictures looked abnormally depressed, and there was no feeling of comfort in the process of watching the film. The choreographer wants to make the audience empathize with this image style, and feel the feeling of death on the battlefield. In addition, in the second half of the film, the director did not include his own subjective thoughts in the shots, but just recorded and recorded everything on the battlefield. When I watched this passage, I felt like a documentary. At the same time, in the battle of sniper war, the position of the lens and the way of framing are very dynamic. It is obvious that a portable camera is used. It turned out that Stanley Kubrick used a portable camera in 1987. . Stanley Kubrick is indeed an amazing director.
Regarding the actors in the film, they have very little information and are not very familiar with them, so I won't say much. However, I have to mention that there is a special feature in this film in terms of actors. In the main role of the film, there is not a woman. Except for Vietnamese women, there are no female roles. There are all kinds of men. Such movies are rare. Stanley Kubrick finally made a film without women.
Generally speaking, another masterpiece reflecting the Vietnam War. For me, placing the perspective in the Marine Corps training camp is very unique, and other aspects are not very new. If I hadn't watched too many movies reflecting the Vietnam War, this film would be good.
