another small mind with an arsehole...plenty out there....

This man doesn't understand film structure. Ignorance of ignorance is the highest form of stupidity. Empty film? He couldn't have watched the film more than once.

Does anyone know the year this doc' was made?

“Full Metal Jacket” is arguably a great film. The second half isn’t as good as the truly great first half, but it’s still good, even if the overall film is not on the same level as “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Dr. Strangelove”, “A Clockwork Orange”, etc.

@HenryConway007 agreed but don't forget "Barry Lyndon". awesome movie

[HenryConway007]

@charms71 I actually think “Barry Lyndon” may be the worst Kubrick film I’ve seen, and I’ve seen all of ’em, except “Fear and Desire”.

[charms71]

@HenryConway007 difference in taste...that's all

[molskee]

@HenryConway007 OMG are you serious? Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece.

Full Metal Jacket is "empty" because its about human beings being dehumanized into soldiers aka killing machines. Its about the emptiness of war. That's what it's "about".

[malkooth]

@barbedheart Yep, brainwashing men into killing machines is wiping out the 'personality'. Mr. Thompson needs to read a little more about the process.

I agree that Metal Jacket was Kubricks most EMPTY film. Good movie yes, but lacks something that all the rest.
