Stanley Kubrick\u2019s Full Metal Jacket will be Bilkent Cinematics\u2019 next offering, on Wednesday, March 22, at 6 p.m., in FFB-05.<\/p>\n
Kubrick\u2019s 1987 film is his contribution to the Vietnam epics appearing at the time, like Deer Hunter (1978), Platoon (1986), and Apocalypse Now (1979). In the first part of the film, we follow a group of US Marines through their harrowing basic training; in the second, we focus on them in the grim thick of Vietnam. Many audiences and critics were dazzled particularly by the first half of the movie, as it vividly revealed the tactics often used to prepare soldiers for killing. People were more divided on the \u2018combat\u2019 portion of the movie and its effectiveness. Everyone who sees a Kubrick film has a strong opinion about it, and Full Metal Jacket is no exception.<\/p>\n
Critic Jonathan Rosenbaum calls it \u201cprofoundly moving,\u201d and one of Kubrick\u2019s \u201cmost horrific\u201d films.<\/p>\n
All Cinematics movies are screened with English subtitles, and everyone is welcome. Food and refreshments will be served just prior to screening, and discussion, also open to everyone, follows the film.
