Stanley Kubrick's 90% Rotten Tomatoes War Masterpiece Is Coming to Paramount+
Stanley Kubrick helmed 13 full-length features throughout his career, six of which were war films. Full Metal Jacket is arguably his magnum opus with its jarring depiction of war from the frontline perspective.
Paramount+ is streaming Full Metal Jacket this December. This 1987 war drama was the last of Stanley Kubrick's films released during his lifetime. Kubrick also appeared in cameos sneaked into two scenes; the director played the voice of Sergeant Murphy during Cowboy Evans' (played by Arliss Howard) calls for reinforcements in the film's second half. Those scenes showed the characters' fortunes reversed, just like the tide of war's fickle swells. Among other themes, the movie explores human behavior's devolution to its most primal nature. Kubrick sidestepped questions about the meaning of the film, however, asserting the answer is nuanced and complex.
