Stanley Kubrick's daughter Vivian supports Donald Trump's use of footage of her late father's anti-war masterpiece full metal jacket (1987) criticized America's increasingly woke military.
She also said that Stanley Kubrick “would be a Trump supporter.”
Vivian is a film composer and director herself and has collaborated with her famous father, writing music for films, among other things. Full Metal Jacket — There's no doubt that Hollywood royalty surprised those of us who are used to only expressing anger and outrage about all things Republican, especially when that Republican is Donald Trump.
Over the weekend, President Trump tweeted a 93-second video comparing the flow of realistic (and memorable) boot camps in the United States. full metal jacket Today's military has become a weak joke thanks to Wake's infection, which praises drag queens and suggests gender reassignment surgery, among other things.
Responses to people who say, “I don’t think my father wanted President Trump to use FMJ.” [Full Metal Jacket] “Video,” suggested Vivian Kubrick. thoughtful response That said in part…
“I'm sure the irony of using the FMJ footage is not lost on Trump and his team. Trump is always trying to end wars and do it in a peaceful way. ” she writes. “But what FMJ is primarily about is the shocking and complex contradictions of human nature. So, on this planet of tooth and claw, we need a very strong army.[.]”
“[S]o I'm going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was primarily used [by Trump]” she added. “Because it powerfully and realistically depicts boot camps alongside the completely demoralizing and inappropriate infusion of WOKE ideology into the U.S. military.”
To be honest, I think my father (who supported Reagan) would be very much in favor of saving America, and indeed the world, from the very destructive globalist forces that want to take over this planet. I believe it. And that footage from FMJ shows that the U.S. military needs properly trained, extremely tough, focused and dedicated warriors, who don't bring in the demoralizing influence of wokeism, and simply If it helps President Trump make the case that he doesn't attract people who join just for the sake of sexual reassignment. Once paid, congratulate President Trump.
“Congratulations to Mr. Trump”
Then comes the sting: “I'm very confident.” [my father] A Trump supporter would allow FMJ to be used unfairly if it served the cause of freedom! ”
It's very simple… if you're anti-war (as all sane people are), you want America to have the strongest military possible. Weakness invites attack, and strength alone is enough to avert war. Your army flaunting cross-dressing and drag queens means everyone knows that we are a disingenuous army full of weak spots and that we are only as strong as our weakest link. You are telling your adversary that you are there.
And anyone who doubts that Stanley Kubrick (wokely) opposed groupthink and defended individualism need only look on. clockwork orange (1971). The entire film (at least to my eyes) appears to be a harsh, uncompromising defense of individualism and the dignity of one person over the collective. clockwork The main character is one of the most despicable characters in film history (Alex, played by Malcolm McDowell), a sadist and rapist. And thanks to Kubrick's genius, after seeing Alex's raw evil, we begin to sympathize with him when the state strips him of his humanity in a misguided effort to rehabilitate him. It is.
Listen, Kubrick was a pure artist, so people will look at his work through their own lens, but I see what Vivian Kubrick sees… “My father… He had great respect for life. His films are an impeccable testament to his love for life: freedom and the pursuit of happiness!”
yes.
Above all Kubrick is a humanist, nothing more anti-human than wake.
