Stanley Kubrick’s daughter Vivian has claimed she is “very confident” that her late father would have been a Donald Trump supporter after the presidential candidate used footage from the director’s Oscar-nominated 1987 film Full Metal Jacket in a campaign video.
However, in her own statement posted to X/Twitter, Vivian Kubrick responded directly “to those who think my father wouldn’t have wanted Trump to use” footage from Full Metal Jacket.
The video includes scenes from Full Metal Jacket in which a brutal, racist Marine Sargeant played by R. Lee Ermey shouts at and assaults Matthew Modine’s Private Joker.
In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting.
