Rx8man, I'm not sure if it'll be your cup of tea, it's more of a psychological piece. It begins as a slow simmer and progresses to a volcanic and violent ending. Read the Amazom reviews and try to avoid the "spoilers" if you can. Nakadai Tatsuya is one of my favorite actors ever. If you see Harakiri and Sword of Doom [Daibosatsu Toge], you'll find it impossible to believe it's the same guy playing the lead in both movies. He's that good.
No Widescreen of Full Metal Jacket?
As far as I know, Full Metal Jacket has never been released in a Widescreen format [Fullscreen pan & scan only].
I've never seen a Widescreen version on either Laser Disc, or any DVD version, even the special collectors edition.
Does anyone know why? Does it have to do to Kubrick's heirs? This doesnt make sense though, as I believe that the DVD versions were released before his death.
So what's the deal on seeing this great film as it should be seen, in the true theater aspect ratio?
