Stanley Kubrick’s daughter defends Trump’s use of ‘Full Metal Jacket,’ says father ‘would have agreed’

October 14, 2024 | | Print Article

The daughter of the late filmmaker Stanley Kubrick blasted leftists with a blistering mic drop about former President Donald Trump.

Vivian Kubrick took to social media where she dropkicked those in an uproar about Trump using footage of her father’s 1987 film “Full Metal Jacket” in a campaign video that declared an end to the “woke” military.

As reported, Trump featured the new two-minute video during his campaign rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, telling the crowd, “It’s the military of the past, let’s call it the Trump military, compared to the very woke military that we have now. I think you’ll get a kick out of it.”

As leftists had a meltdown over Trump’s use of the film, Kubrick’s daughter weighed in with a reality check.

“To those who think my father wouldn’t have wanted Trump to use FMJ footage. Here are my thoughts: 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 – however – these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience,” she wrote in a post on Sunday.

“I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team,” she added, pointing out that 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,” Kubrick continued.

“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. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with,” the 64-year-old Kubrick wrote.

“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,” she continued before delivering another blow to the left’s self-appointed control over entertainment.

“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,” Kubrick declared.

She explained how her father “had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is” which “accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few! 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!” Kubrick concluded.  “Capisce?”

A collective standing ovation followed on social media.
