Full Metal Jacket

In Vietnam, the wind doesn't blow. It sucks.

A scathing, unflinching examination of how military institutions systematically dehumanize individuals, told through the eyes of a detached observer moving from boot camp brutality to the horrors of urban combat.

A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the U.S.-Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.
