From Fox News: The daughter of famed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick announced her late father would be a supporter of former President Trump after the Republican presidential candidate used footage from Kubrick’s military film, “Full Metal Jacket,” in a campaign video.

In a post on X, Trump interspersed realistic boot camp scenes from the iconic film with clips of U.S. military service members dressed in drag to warn about the “woke military” under President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Transgender Biden administration official Adm. Rachel Levine is also shown in the video announcing the “Summer of Pride.”

“America’s military president Donald J. Trump vs. Comrade Kamala Harris,” the text on screen reads. “Let’s make our military great again.”

“WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!” Trump writes, sharing the video.

Elon Musk responded, “Absolutely. The military’s job is to defend America, not engage in social activism.”

Kubrick’s daughter, Vivian Kubrick, released the following statement in response to those who criticized Trump’s use of the footage:

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.

Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team – 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.

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.

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. 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.

Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he 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!

Capisce?

Below are some interesting responses to Kubrick’s post:

Kubrick added in another comment, “…like no other time in living memory, this is surely the time to stand up and be counted. It truly lifts my spirit to see how many good and caring people have understood this -all around the world (amazingly) – people see how vitally important the MAGA movement is.”

“MAGA: a basic and powerful survival instinct that makes up the foundation of this movement, that’s why so many other populations in far of countries want the same and want Trump to win! MAGA promises a true second Renaissance for the Western Civilization. ❤️🌎❤️.”
