Joker vs Animal Mother: What Full Metal Jacket is Really About (Pt. 2) - Film Analysis

After the murder-suicide of Private Pyle, Kubrick most viewers expect Kubrick to keep the drama flowing — but Kubrick is Kubrick. Post-Pyle, the first image he shows us is a Vietnamese prostitute strutting down the streets of Da Nang with a 60s pop song to accompany her. It is just another example of Kubrick's constant coupling of sex and violence. The characters of Full Metal Jacket are almost universally animalistic in nature; the best example being Animal Mother. However, Kubrick doesn't strip the film of hope for overcoming our primal drives. Through the character of Joker, Kubrick explores what it means to transcend our most brutal desires and acknowledge the humanity of even your enemies.
