In this video, I take you through Full Metal Jacket's sniper sequence and the stories behind its making. Like why the part at the low wall took a full month to film, the experimental techniques used to give impact to the climactic moment, and one of the most insane things Kubrick ever did to an actor.

I actually like the second half more. I fought in Haditha in Iraq and Now Zad and Dehannah in Afghanistan. All urban battles. I think one thing no one notices about the movie is that it captures the real transition between boot camp and combat. Boot camp is the most efficient and mind blowing experience. Every daily action is planned down to the minute, literally. If your platoon needs to be some where 3 minutes before the platoon in font of you the DIs will talk to the DIs of the platoon in front of you and you will do a marching swap when waiting in line for the chow hall or something. Then you graduate and go to the fleet and eventually combat. It is the complete opposite. Nothing is planned, everything is a joke. The withdraw of Afghanistan is a good example of this. This movie captures this. I don't know if it was intentional by Kubrik but it is perfect. Also the way they fight in the city is very realistic I think. Love this movie.

I like the second half, when I skip the entire first half through the bathroom scene and start watching right as “These Boots Are Made For Walkin” starts. I think people like the first half better mainly because the second half is like a totally different movie, which you only see after being worn out by the first half. On its own, the second half is a great war film.

It's definitely an interesting pick, if we're talking "best transition ever". I've made a lot of lists, but never that one specifically. Off the top of my head, transitions that I think are at least some of the best *I've ever* seen would be: 1) Tom Hanks' reveal as a long-haired, haggard quasi-cave man, after the time-jump in Zemeckis' "Cast Away". His spear landing expertly through the fish. 2) I've always liked the transition in the Coen Brothers' "Fargo" where Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare are having sex with the prostitutes in a static wide shot; we slowly fade to black, then cut back into the identical shot, all of them now silently watching late night talk shows in bed. It speaks to the emotional disconnect and desolation within the characters. It's sordid and sad. 3) The shot from Mike Nichols' "The Graduate" of Dustin Hoffman coming up out of the pool, then immediately into bed with Anne Bancroft. That jump cut is amazing. 4) Petty much...lol, any moment in any Nicholas Roeg film. Whether it's "Walkabout" or "Don't Look Now" or "The Man Who Fell to Earth", he played with time to such a degree his films could almost be considered endless transitions onto themselves. And they're pretty much all brilliant. 5) John Schlesinger's "Midnight Cowboy", when Jon Voight is walking down the New York street and multiple jump cuts are utilized from day to night and back again, illustrating his aimless isolation and loneliness. There are several other transitions in this film as well that are also pretty great...

Exactly. Just like the shining isn’t really a horror film. I think it’s a film about a man with writers block finally having his idea to write a story about killing his family like the previous caretaker story he heard. Just like this film switches midway, I believe the shining does as well and we start seeing shots of the characters inside the novel he’s writing instead of reality. It explains the name change of Grady and the changes to the hotel. Kubrick was the master of showing you the truth while telling you a lie. Brilliant.

It's a combination of the sharp yet dampened tones combined with the persistent drumbeat and drawn out drones in the background. The way I'd probably put it is the question "Am I hunter or am I prey?" as a soundtrack. The drums inspire a sense of strength and confidence but the sharper tones serve to remind that overconfidence is lethal. It's a brilliant score.

Didn't gather it was a twelve year old what struck me was how pure and animalistic she looked in response to the surprise secondary was that the sniper was not who or what I expected.

I always had a different take on Joker. I think he retained his innocence. There is the moment where after Cowboy's death the guys all change and go into revenge/payback mode. ( the moment the Monolith shows up if you believe that sort of thing) All their faces change. They then go stalk the sniper but at the moment of truth Joker jams his gun. Then his true humanity takes over and he kills the sniper not out of revenge but out of mercy. Rafterman goes the other way, turning into a childish killer without remorse. A big change from when he was puking in the helicopter while the doorgunner fires at everything in the rice paddies. The end scene when they are walking out you kind of see a little smile on Joker's face. He's gonna make it and he's seen the evil that men do, yet he has remained innocent and good. He's the duality of Man....The Jungian thing! He's the other side of man that is able to keep cool while all those around him lose theirs. Just my interpretation. I saw this film in the theater and it was a damn gut punch. From the deaths of 8-Ball, Doc, Cowboy and the sniper until the double 1-2 combo of Mickey Mouse Club>Paint It Black was devastating. No one moved in the theater for a few minutes after the film was over. We were just flattened by emotion of the film.

I never knew that Kubrick sought out ideas from his actors and used their input in the making of this film. This is reminiscent of Coppola's making of his Vietnam movie, when he asked his actors what should happen next. This is how Coppola devised the scene where the soldiers on the patrol boat investigate the sampan in the delta and wind up shooting all the sampan's occupants. The actors wanted to have a scene that would be something like the My Lai massacre. Thanks for this.

I think the most iconic parts of this movie come from the first half in the lines and story telling, but I think the more emotional and cinematic parts come from the second half. The setting, the fires, the wreckage, the tension. Sometimes I see the film on and jump in to watch the second half only. Other times I watch the start and jump once the "full metal jacket" line is done. Sometimes I watch it start to finish. It's a movie made of two movies. Either or both are cinematic excellence.

12:45 "Wait....who the hell is that guy?!" Holy shit I've seen this movie probably 100 times and I'm blown away that I never noticed that lol! Anyways, great little mini-doc on Full Metal Jacket. I totally agree that while the first half of the movie is clearly what makes it timeless (the quality of acting by Ermy, Modine, and D'Onofrio is unparalleled in any other war movies in my opinion. Ermy wasn't even acting, just being himself as he used to be while being a Drill Sarge in real life), the 2nd half is also very underrated it seems simply because it lives in the shadow of the first. Lots of credit to Kubrick, although his moral compass may be a little shaky in the treatment of his actors, in the end he knows and tries to instill in the actors that it's all for the purpose of completing the vision and being a part of a timeless piece of art

Kubrick was a bit of a sadist, imo. At least he didn't mind inflicting pain and discomfort upon his cast and crew. Take the stuntman on '2001': Kubrick had this guy hanging from wires for many weeks while filming the 'Frank rescue' scene. The suit had no ventilation at all, so once the air had gone out, the stuntman began to suffocate, frequently fainting for lack of air. One time the crew went out for lunch and Kubrick left the poor guy hanging there for hours. The stuntman was so furious that Kubrick didn't show up at the studio for a couple of days, afraid the guy wanted to kill him.

Well, one of his favorite films of all time is 2001, so he’s definitely not a hater. Ebert was a critic’s critic. Whereas Gene Siskel preferred more pop-culture type of films, his favorites being “Saturday Night Fever” and “Babe”. So “Two Thumbs Up” meant a film should appeal to both the serious film fan, as well as more casual film fan. Being from Chicago, their show was on a few times a week, late at night. I was just really getting into Kubrick and film around 13-14 years old in 90/91, when their show was prominent, and “Two Thumbs Up” still meant something.

I think that the fact people draw such a distinction between the first and second half of this movie and favour the first is actually a huge compliment to the film. What people find better is that the first half has structure, purpose, a clear goal whereas the second half is chaotic, disjoined and it feels like in the end there's no resolution or point to any of it. To me that's the greatest representation of the contrast between the lies these men were sold and the reality of what they ultimately went through. In the end there was nothing but the man next to you.

Thank you! I never followed Ebert, but when I came across this clip while researching, I thought it was interesting how he didn't connect his idea of the cliché to all of the other references to John Wayne/cowboy/war movies. It was also interesting to think about the difference in the experience of FMJ between me and Ebert. I was born in '85 and FMJ was the first time I had seen a crash-zoom whereas Ebert was obviously very familiar with the Republic war movies that used the technique. It reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey when the younger people (at the time) loved the use of the Blue Danube Waltz over the rotating space station while the older people, who were already familiar with it from the Palm Court Orchestra, had trouble letting go of their previous associations with the music.

Having read Matthew's FMJ Diary I can tell just how well researched this is, the man tells it all in his own words, detailing the friendship with Kubrick, the falling outs with Kubrick, the man's genius and demented genius, every step of the way. Just a remarkble man, Kubrick was himself, the duality of man. and I personally quite like Adam Baldwin's suggestion, to go through the end of the movie, only to see that short post credit scene of Joker taking his laundry to the cleaners, only to meet Animal Mother, an old comrade in arms, but in such mundain surroundings, would have been the cherry on the cake.

Just thought it would be interesting to know what actual Vietnam veterans think which ones are the best. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean the best *cinema* - but it's just something to note.

The second "act" is so profoundly good. I have to watch the whole film as Kubrick's craft is so superb. Everyone has opinions, but I totally appreciate the way he tells a story. Great Video!!!!!

Thank you for the breakdown and the insight of one of my all the favorite movies. As a Marine myself, I can add that it takes such a strong mind to even become a Marine. Along the way you meet many other people, some strong some weak and you have to make a decision to be part of the problem or part of the solution. So taking care of the weak gives the others a form of respect your brothers regardless of what you might think. Being a Marine after your time is something you carry throughout your life-could be good could be bad but, it is you who makes something out of what you have. Semper FI

This movie is a favorite of mine no doubt. Really well done with the visceral scenes and moral questions it raises. I do wonder if Kubrick was aware of Elem Klimov and perhaps took inspiration from his films. Come and See is one of the most brutal and depressing war films I have ever scene, and some of the shots here look inspired by that film.

The announcer says the Capa photograph “falling soldier” was a Civil War photograph. To clarify, the famous 1936 photograph was taken during Spanish Civil War.

Good call. Clearly an early mid 20th century photo. Thanks for clarifying.

And there's also some debate as to its authenticity, but that's beside the point - it IS an iconic image of war.

Fun fact, the training scenes were partly filmed at what used to be RAF Bassingbourne, The B17 bomber Memphis Bell was based at RAF Bassingbourne during WW2.
