Summary
Stanley Kubrick's take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private Davis (Matthew Modine), quickly christened "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant (R. Lee Ermey), and pudgy Private Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio), nicknamed "Gomer Pyle," as they endure the rigors of basic training. Though Pyle takes a frightening detour, Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist, covering -- and eventually participating in -- the bloody Battle of Hué.

Common Sense Says
Extremely graphic, violent Vietnam War film.Appropriate For?
Age Appropriate Some Iffy Stuff Not Age Appropriate17
What's the Story?
The opening sequence of FULL METAL JACKET is a long series of scenes of Marine Corps basic training at Parris Island, shows both the ways soldiers bond together and how they're driven apart by the brutal treatment they receive. Lee Emery is the drill sergeant to end all drill sergeants, and the soldiers under his command, who are soon known only by their nicknames -- Joker (Matthew Modine), Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio), Cowboy (Arliss Howard) -- each react differently to the intense and often cruel training regime. Once in Vietnam, they are thrown into an unpopular war that they don't really understand, fighting an enemy who refuses to play by the rules.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this is an extremely graphic and unblinking look at war, starting with Marine Corps basic training. This movie is not appropriate for kids. There is a lot of very strong language and very explicit violence, much of it shot in slow motion. Families can talk about why the Marines are trained so harshly, and how it affects people to go through such grueling treatment. The realities of war, and the parallels to current events are also possible topics for discussion.
