Up next in our Kubrick Christmas series is Full Metal Jacket, the director’s 1987 Vietnam War film!
The movie is divided into two distinct parts: the harrowing boot camp experience, where the recruits endure relentless psychological and physical abuse under the brutal drill instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), and their subsequent deployment to the chaos of Vietnam. At the center is Private Joker (Matthew Modine), whose transformation from a sardonic recruit to a hardened war correspondent reflects the moral ambiguity and psychological toll of combat.

Our Kubrick Christmas series marches along with Paths of Glory, the director’s 1957 anti-war drama!
The story follows Colonel Dax, portrayed by Kirk Douglas, a principled French officer who is ordered to lead his men in a suicidal assault on an impregnable German position known as the “Anthill.” When the attack fails, the enraged generals scapegoat three soldiers, putting them on trial for cowardice to cover up their own incompetence. As Dax defends the men in a farcical court-martial, the film exposes the callous indifference of the military hierarchy and the brutal realities of war.
