This review of “Full Metal Jacket” by Vincent Canby is a thorough analysis of the film. The review is very keen on Kubrick’s artistic style. The writer points out the fact that the movie is split into two parts, each a story by itself. He acknowledges that Kubrick does not follow the typical style of movies and that his work is very unique to other directors. The review describes the movie as harrowing, beautiful, and characteristically eccentric. Good points are made in this review and a good amount of things are covered about the film that a viewer would need to know in order to make a decision about seeing the film. The review is pretty easy to read and does not assume that the reader is visually literate of movies. Towards the end of the review a little bit of a summary is given on the movie and some of the characters to help make the movie clearer. Overall this was a good review but because of my personal preference in movies I would not want to go see this movie after reading this review.
