Stanley Kubrick’s daughter Vivian helps Donald Trump’s use of footage from her late father’s anti-war masterpiece Full Steel Jacket (1987) to criticize America’s more and more woke navy.
She additionally says Stanley Kubrick “can be a Trump supporter.”
Vivian, a movie composer and director in her personal proper who collaborated together with her well-known father — amongst different issues, she wrote the rating for Full Steel Jacket — undoubtedly shocked these of us used to Hollywood Royalty solely expressing outrage and fury in any respect issues Republican, most particularly if that Republican is Donald Trump.
Over the weekend Trump xweeted out a 93-second video evaluating the lifelike (and unforgettable) boot camp sequence from Full Steel Jacket to in the present day’s navy, which has develop into a weak joke due to an an infection of woke that, amongst different issues, celebrates drag queens and presents intercourse change operations:
Responding to those that “assume my father wouldn’t have needed #Trump to make use of FMJ [Full Metal Jacket] footage,” Vivian Kubrick provided a considerate response that mentioned partly…
“I’m certain the irony of utilizing FMJ footage just isn’t misplaced on Trump or his staff – Trump is all the time searching for to finish wars and use peaceable strategies,” she writes. “Nonetheless, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the stunning and complex paradoxes of human nature. And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you want a really sturdy navy[.]”
“[S]o I’m going to stay with the concept FMJ footage was used primarily [by Trump],” she provides, “due to its highly effective, lifelike portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the solely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA navy.”
Honestly, I imagine my father (who supported Reagan), would very a lot approve of saving America, certainly the world, from the extremely harmful Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the purpose that the US navy wants correctly skilled, tremendous powerful, targeted, devoted warriors, and never introduce the demoralizing results of woke-ism, and attracting individuals to affix up merely to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.
“Trump has my blessing.”
Then comes the stinger: “I really feel very assured [my father] can be a Trump supporter and would forgive utilizing FMJ incongruously if it helps the reason for freedom!”
It’s quite simple… If you’re anti-war (as all sane persons are), you need America to have the strongest navy doable. Weak point invitations aggression, and power alone may be sufficient to keep away from a battle. When your navy reveals off transvestites and drag queens, you’re telling our adversaries that we’re an unserious navy crammed with weak hyperlinks, and everybody is aware of we’re solely as sturdy as our weakest hyperlinks.
And anybody who doubts Stanley Kubrick opposed groupthink (like woke) and championed individualism want solely watch A Clockwork Orange (1971). That whole film (at the least in my eyes) is a strident and uncompromising protection of individualism and the dignity of the one man towards the collective. Clockwork’s protagonist is among the vilest characters in film historical past (Malcolm McDowell’s Alex), a sadist and rapist. And it’s by means of Kubrick’s genius that after watching Alex in all his undiluted evil, we start to sympathize with him because the state strips him of his human qualities in a misguided effort to rehabilitate him.
Hear, Kubrick was pure artist, so persons are going to take a look at his work by means of their very own lens, however I see what Vivian Kubrick sees… “My father had an incredible respect for all times – his films being unimpeachable proof of his love for all times, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!”
Sure.
Above all, Kubrick was a humanist, and there’s nothing extra anti-human than Woke.
