Trump’s Use Of ‘Full Metal Jacket’ Clips Criticized By Matthew Modine, But Stanley Kubrick’s Daughter Says Former Potus “Has My Blessing”
The Donald Trump presidential campaign’s use of clips from Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 Oscar-nominated Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket has polarized those close to the pic indeed, with the late filmmaker’s daughter Vivian Kubrick declaring “Trump has my blessing” to the pic’s star Matthew Modine blasting that the former Potus has turned the anti-war feature “into a perverse, homophobic, and manipulative tool of propaganda.”
Trump’s recent rallies have begun using the video below which include Full Metal Jacket actor R. Lee Emery’s tough, racist and vulgar ridden Marine Sergeant blasting Modine’s Private Joker. Those bits are labeled “Then”. This is followed by clips that show support for the LGBTQ+ in the military captioned “Now” and “The Biden Harris Military.” The propaganda video ends with a shot from Full Metal Jacket before the recruits are sent to Vietnam, with the saying “Let’S Make Our Military Great Again.
