War Drama Film

Kubrick follows the story of a few marines and a ‘military correspondent’ after their brutal boot camp training and the covering of the Vietnam war as a journalist from one of them, portraying a gritty, dehumanizing massacre.
Kubrick uses intense action sequences, mesmerizing sets, excellent photography, and believable characters to create a harsh and uncomfortable film about the realities of war.
