Stanley Kubrick's daughter reveals what her father would think of Trump using Full Metal Jacket clips to bash the 'woke' military

The daughter of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick broadcast her approval of Donald Trump using her father's famed anti-war film Full Metal Jacket in a video that bashes a 'woke' military.

Vivan Kubrick, who worked with her father and had small parts in some of his iconic films, weighed in after Trump aired a video at a campaign rally that drew on scenes of an angry drill sergeant contrasted with images of men in drag and what Trump calls an increasingly 'woke' military.

In a post on X, she called it a '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,' she wrote.

Kubrick, whose profile picture on X features a bloodied Trump making a fist after the first assassination attempt attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsyvania, said her father would approve of the MAGA movement.

 '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 wrote, a day after Trump clashed with an interviewer on his plan to slap tariffs on products from overseas.

In her lengthy post, she acknowledged the dissonance of anti-war aspects of the film with Trump, who has repeatedly called to bolster the military and during his term in office threatened to bring 'fire and fury' on North Korea.

She said she was 'confident' her father 'would be a Trump supporter,' then said if the film clips Trump snipped helped him '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.'

She added that her dad had a 'great passion for guns' and owned 'quite a few!'  

Her comment came after Trump rolled out a video clip at his Scranton rally last week juxtaposing a screaming drill sergeant who plays a key role in the film with men in drag and a top trans official.

Her post tagged conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, fired Trump National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, and Trump campaign officials. 

She addressed her posting 'TO THOSE WHO THINK MY FATHER WOULDN’T HAVE WANTED #TRUMP TO USE FMJ FOOTAGE,' using an abbreviation for the film.

Trump had his team play the clip for a few thousand fans who gathered at a riverfront sports complex in Scranton Wednesday, a week after musing about the iconic drill sergeant role in the Stanley Kubrick film Full Metal Jacket.

He set it up as showing 'the Trump military compared to the very woke military that we have now,' telling supporters: 'You'll get a kick out of it.'

The video begins with a scene of Ronald Lee Ermey, the Marine drill instructor who played Sergeant Hartman in the 1987 Vietnam war film berating a new recruit as 'little scumbag.'

It then cuts to a top Biden administration health official, Rachel Levine, wishing viewers a 'happy pride month.'

Levine is an army physician who is assistant secretary of health. She is an admiral in the in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and as such sometimes wears a uniform in public. She is the first transgender official to be confirmed by the Senate.

A caption labels it 'the Biden Harris military.' The clip got posted by the 'End Wokeness' X account, and quickly picked up more than a million views.

Other clips in the video toggle between clips of Ermey denigrating new recruits entering basic training as 'the lowest form of life on earth' in an effort to break them down with clips of men in drag dancing in TikTok style videos. 

The audience applauded and laughed as the former president took a break from his remarks, which stretched more than an hour, to share it. 

Although the origin of the exact clips wasn't immediately clear, the Navy last year was forced to abandon an effort to target Generation Z in a recruiting effort that featured a recruiter in an 'ambassador' role posing in drag online.

Although Trump's video pointed to the Biden administration, the Greatest Generation that won World War II also had a long history of drag shows, Military Times has reported during the controversy.

That included theatrical performances where men dressed up to play women's roles at a time when women served only limited roles in the military. 

The origins of the video weren't immediately known, but Trump brought up the war film during a speech last week in Wisconsin.

'What was that great movie that was made?' Trump asked, when an audience member apparently yelled out the name. 

'Full Metal Jacket. They took somebody from the military - top drill sergeant, right? Full Metal Jacket. He was supposed to get the Academy Award - he shouldn't have gotten it,' Trump said. 'He was unbelievable in that movie.'

 'How good was that movie, right? Doesn't get too much better,' Trump said.
