Stanley Kubrick was a perfectionist and he made sure everyone knew he was in charge from day one. ... ” Kubrick’s hot-tempered and often abrasive style of direction would later become infamous.

On the contrary, Kubrick exposes the inner workings of the ultra-patriotic and propaganda-heavy Corps. ...

But this is not the Vietnam depicted in Platoon or Apocalypse Now, this is Kubrick’s Vietnam. ... Kubrick used abandoned urban complexes in England to stage his battle scenes. ...
