"Music is one of the most important elements in a film, as is silence." Stanley Kubrick. | Stanley Kubrick

#MovieMonday - "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) is one of the most acclaimed films concerning the Vietnam War. Former Marine Drill Instructor R. Lee Ermey was hired as a technical advisor but made such an impression on director Stanley Kubrick that he was given the role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Kubrick allowed Ermey to write most of his own dialogue to make the Parris Island scenes more authentic. | U.S. Naval Institute
