Product description

Product Description

Definitive edition of Stanley Kubrick's classic war drama detailing the dehumanising effect of military combat, as experienced by a bunch of Vietnam conscripts under the training of the sadistic Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey). The second half of the film follows one of the recruits, Joker (Matthew Modine), onto the battlefield as he is thrown into the war at the height of the Tet offensive.

Synopsis

Marine recruits endure basic training under a leather-lunged D.I., then plunge into the hell of Vietnam. Matthew Modine heads a talented ensemble in this searing look at a process that turns people into killers.

5 out of 5 stars
Fantastic movie that deserves its rightful place in Hollywood history.
Fantastic movie with great directing and story. Just the marine training part is worth it alone as its amazing. Very historic part of the movie and in my opinion the best part of it. A long movie with lots of army action. Brilliantly done and once you see it you will always remember it. Blu Ray quality is very good and lets not forget this is a 25+ year old movie. It sounds great as well. Really happy with blu ray. In the future perhaps a 4K clean up and better sound but for now its great.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Script and Authenticity
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Since I am not a veteran I cannot vouch for authenticity. However this film has a very authentic feel. Highlights include Lee Ermey who plays the drill sergeant during marine training. He was an actual drill sergeant previously in the army. Most of his insults and brow beating was apparently ad-libbed, since Kubrick was happy to let him write his own lines. The marines are wonderfully obnoxious and immoral as when they arrive in 'Nam we see the lead (Pte Joker, Matthew Modine) and a buddy bartering for a prostitute.

    Perhaps a weaker part of the film is the continuity. It is almost like two different films spliced together. The first half including the amusing and surprisingly dramatic life of the marines as they train for war. This was Lee Ermey's debut as an actor and he is a natural. His insults and humor are superb and spontaneous. We also see the sensitive recruit, Pte Pyle struggling as a 'useless fatbody'. The relationship between Pyle and the lead (Pte Joker) is quite heart warming. Although that particular sub-plot does not have a good ending.

    The second part of the film is more centered around combat. After all what war film would be complete without some shooting. My favorite scene here is when the marines are tracking a Viet Cong sniper (who to the protagonists dismay starts racking up American kills). There are underlying themes regarding the duality of man. The troopers are one minute putting their lives at risk for a comrade but then the next are making jokes about an enemy soldiers corpse.

    For me the strongest part of the film was before we travel to Vietnam. However there are lots of great little sequences throughtout that will typical of Kubrick keep you awake and alert. The film is also not particularly long. Which can be seen as a positive in the sense of 'quality over quantity'.

    No matter how authentic the film is, it is very entertaining and a good appraisal of the typical testosterone filled young soldiers and their achievements and struggles.

    It is not in the top ten of all time but probably in the top ten of all war films. Worth a look at the least.

    The training of the recruits to become marines fighting in Vietnam by the sergeant drill instructor, was superb. The battle scenes in the in the Vietnam war conflict were very well acted and demonstrated the commitment of the North Vietnamese to resist the Americans and their South Vietnamese allies.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic quality, very rich extras, and also the italian dubbed version, which Kubrick defined one of the best ever made
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Finally an excellent and complete blu ray edition: I bought it also because it includes italian audio and subs. In Italy we have a wonderful dubbing tradition and this is one of the best dubbed films ever. So, further than watching it in english (which is fantastic of course) I often love the italian version: even Kubrick congratulated for the quality and spirit of this dubbing, saying it was at the same level as the english version. This is so true for the characters of Drill Instructor Hartman and Jokers. The fist one was amazingly dubbed, to such a level of adherence to the actor, that, although him being extraordinary, his "italian voice" makes him even better.
    About the film, apart from the rich extras and quality of the blu ray, I don't know what to add: the more I watch it the more I think it is still and even greater. The good thing of Kubrick is that everytime you watch one of his films again, you realize and find out more details, layers and intuitions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars GOT THE BLUE BALLS, CRABS AND THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH...
    Reviewed in the United States on 19 April 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I thought I had the seven year itch after watching this, turned out to be potato chip crumbs in the couch cushion. Another classic from director Stanley Kubrick. You might have seen some of Kubrick's other films 2001: a Space Odyssey, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove. Seems like people either love or hate Kubrick movies. Kubrick had a reputation for doing up to 30-40 takes per scene which pushed his shoots up to months and even over a year to the dismay of his actors. Some say he was trying to get the perfect lighting, the perfect scene delivery for the perfect end product, I think he probably just had a case of ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder). Full Metal Jacket is set during the Viet Nam war era and follows a group of new Marine recruits through basic training the first half of the movie then switches to Nam for the second half where we catch up with Private Joker (Mathew Modine) and Private Cowboy (Arliss Howard). Ronald Lee Ermey aka R Lee Ermey aka "the gunny" was probably the most memorable character of the movie. Ermey plays Senior Drill Instructor Gunnery Sgt. Hartman who is responsible for turning a group of raw recruits into certified killer Marines a role he did in real life while serving in the United States Marine Corps from 1961-1971. Ermey was initially hired as the films technical advisor but Kubrick was so impressed with him that he gave him the part of Sgt. Hartman. The Movie opens with Ermey taking control of his new recruits in the barracks using copious amounts of intimidation, colorful verbiage (lots of F bombs) and a smattering of physical abuse for the betterment of the recruits. Private Joker gets a jab to the solar plexus which drops him to the floor followed quickly by Private Pyle getting choked for not wiping that "stupid F*****g grin" off his face. Private Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio) is the fat, slobby, slightly dimwitted new recruit who can't get anything right earning him the ire of Sgt. Hartman. At one point during inspection Hartman finds a jelly doughnut stashed in Pyle's footlocker. The entire platoon is punished while Pyle is forced to eat the doughnut which earns Pyle the ire of the rest of the platoon. I can't say any more without giving away some spoilers. Many FMJ commenters with former military service have said the basic training scenes of this movie are the most realistic of any army movie. If you're a big fan of R Lee Ermey you probably already have seen this movie but if you only know him from Mail Call on the History Channel or Gunny Time you would enjoy watching this. Like I said you either love or hate Kubrick movies and I'm on the fence with this one. The first half of the movie is very entertaining, the second half not so much but the whole package wasn't that bad. The Blu-ray has commentary with Ermey, D'Onofrio, Adam Baldwin and critic Jay Cocks. A 30 minute making of featurette Full Metal Jacket: Between Good and Evil and a theatrical trailer.

    この映画の内容に関しては、何も言うことはありません。
    秩序ある整った映像、秀逸なカメラワーク、真に迫った戦場での場面、俳優陣の素晴らしい演技力・・・。

    ジェイ・スコット（ Jay Scott, 1949～1993）という映画評論家が、トロントにある新聞社の1つ「グローブ・アンド・メール」にて、この作品を

    ”The best war movie ever made.”
    （これぞ史上最高の戦争映画だ）

    と評しました。
    私はこの映画の輸入盤ディスクの仕様について書いておきます。

    この映画の輸入盤のディスクには、英語以外の各種言語による吹き替えが収録されています。
    収録されている吹き替えは、

    ドイツ語、フランス語、イタリア語、スペイン語その1、スペイン語その2

    です（ちなみに、日本語字幕は一切収録されていませんでした）。

    これらの各種言語による吹き替えを聴き比べてみるのも中々面白いですよ。
    ドイツ語、フランス語、イタリア語、（二種の）スペイン語で、新兵たちをひたすら怒鳴り散らすハートマン軍曹は、元の言語である英語とはまた違った迫力を、観る者にひしひしと感じさせます。

    気になったのが、
    映画の最後で、ジョーカーが狙撃手のベトナム少女を楽にさせてやるために止めを刺したあと、ラフターマンが

    ”Joker, we're gonna have to put you up for the Congressional medal of ・・・ugly !”
    （ジョーカー、こいつは名誉勲章モノだぜ・・・悪逆非道勲章さ！）

    と、嬉しそうに叫ぶのですが、この部分の台詞は、何故かいずれの言語でも吹き替えられていませんでした。

    Wikipedia にある『フルメタル・ジャケット』の記事にもあるとおり、日本語吹き替え版は製作されたようですが、お蔵入りとなってしまっているようです。しかしその肝心の理由については、インターネット中を探しても見つかりません。
    日本語吹き替えも、是非収録して欲しかった。

    輸入盤ディスクは日本版アマゾンでも購入できますが、出品者さんによっては海外から取り寄せする場合もあり、その際は注文してから自宅に届くまでに3週間はかかります。無事に届いて良かったです。
