In 1987, Stanley Kubrick released Full Metal Jacket, a depressing look at the Vietnam War mostly told through the story of Private Joker, played by Matthew Modine.

"'The film is a comment on the sadism, the cruelty and the malleability of human nature,' says Kuznick. '[Robert] Muller has said, "They take little butter-balls like me and turn them into killing machines. I went from being a good guy to going over to Vietnam, and laughing at seeing women and children being wasted."'" -BBC
