In the film review by Robert Ebert, Ebert gives a very thorough review of Full Metal Jacket. His review is much different than many other reviews I have read in the past in the mere fact that this review offers more than a plot synopsis. He does tell some of the vital background plot that one would need to know in order to understand the points he is trying to make. Although the only movie I have seen by Kubrick was Full Metal Jacket, Ebert does draw many parallels to some of Kubrick’s other masterpieces, basically stating that this movie is tasteless and not unique in many ways.
Ebert states that, “The crucial last passages of the film too often look and feel like World War II films from Hollywood studios. We see the same sets from so many different angles that after the movie we could find our own way around Kubrick's Vietnam.” In other words Ebert is saying that he feels like this movie was not very creative. The way that Ebert makes the movie sound, I honestly would probably not even waste my time watching this movie, or at least
try to look at different reviews to see if I could find any praise about the film. Ebert does an excellent job and I can definitely tell that this is not his first review. He is definitely "literate" in the visual literacy of movies.
