President Trump put out a video that compared the movie Full Metal Jacket with scenes of Gn. Mark Milley’s dancing fairies on military bases. This was to show what the military had become under Harris-Biden. The left began screaming (like little girls…), claiming that director Stanley Kubrick would object to that. Kubrick is one of the greatest directors who ever lived with Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut.
Kubrick also wrote many of his greatest hits. The question then becomes, would Kubrick have objected to this? His daughter Vivian says he would have loved it. Vivian is quite talented herself. She wrote the film score for Full Metal Jacket and produced The Making of The Shining. On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted the following message on his Twitter account: “WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!”

Vivian gives her thoughts on what her father’s reaction would have been:

Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself – however – these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.
Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team – Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods.
However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.
And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military – so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military.
Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with.
Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet.
And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.
Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!
My father had a great respect for life – his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!
Capisce?
