Full Metal Jacket Diary

By: Matthew Modine

Narrated by: Matthew Modine

In 1985, Stanley Kubrick encouraged Matthew Modine to keep a journal and take photographs while playing the lead role of Pvt. Joker - a combat correspondent - on the set of his Vietnam War film, Full Metal Jacket. In 2005, Modine published a limited edition book of his diary and photos which later became an interactive experience for the iPad. Now, with the Full Metal Jacket Diary audiobook, fans can listen to Modine as he performs his diary with sound effects and original music. This deeply immersive, first-hand account reveals what it was like to work with Stanley Kubrick, one of cinema's most enigmatic filmmakers.

Great

Matthew Modine's voice takes you on a personal journey through his struggle to become Private Joker, the difficulties and joys that accompanied his experience on and off the film set, while he shares some interesting reflections on war, politics, love, kubrick, fatherhood and, ultimately, life. Loved it.

War is Hell

And apparently so is working for someone the one and only Stanley Kubrick. What a looney fella.

wow

loved learning about some of the behind the scenes "stuff" truly enjoyed the whole thing

Essential listening for any Kubrick fan

A fantastic insight into the filmmaking method of Stanley Kubrick as told by Matthew Modine, the star of Full Metal Jacket. Matthew goes into great detail about every aspect of making the film (high's and low's) and his relationship with Kubrick on set. Highly recommended for fans of both the film and the director Stanley Kubrick.
