Full Metal Jacket
I was very much unsatisfied with this product for one simple reason. It came in full screen format. I ordered it along with two other DVD titles.
Both of the other movies came in wide-screen versions. I only buy movies in wide-screen. Perhaps it was my own fault for not being more specific, but I don't recall having an option. I am aware that I could have returned it. I decided instead to give it away as a Christmas present rather than go through the headache and expense of getting a bubble pack envelope, paying postage, and driving to post office.
I have, in the past, made other purchases from Amazon.com that I was completely satisfied with. I don't know that I would ever order another DVD without knowing specifically which format I would receive.
As for film itself, I have enjoyed it every time that I have seen it in past. I look forward to picking up a wide-screen version and would recommend the movie to anyone that likes war films.
"rude dog"
The initial delivery time was great, very fast. However, when I had a problem with the dvd and sent it back for an exchange, I did not receive another dvd and am considering a full refund. The responses to my emails were not timely and a new dvd was assured to be sent but have not seen it in about a month. With so many choices out there, stay away from this place.
This movie is one of the saddest movies about the Vietnam war ever. I think what impacted me most was the choice of music for several of the scenes. I don't like the "blood and guts" movies, but this one made a statement and the music was so very sad and in a minor key and it made the movie a visual and auditory event.
