According to a Tweet by filmmaker and composer Vivian Kubrick, daughter of Stanley Kubrick, her father would have supported Trump, and given his blessing for the clips of Full Metal Jacket used at Trump rallies. The text of her Tweet reads:
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. . . .
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. . . .
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. . . .
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?
