Kubrick’s Daughter Comments On Father

Well, it seems the Kubrick family has chimed in on the 2024 election, and if you’re expecting a classic Hollywood “woke” endorsement, think again. Vivian Kubrick, daughter of the legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, just threw a curveball at all the liberal elites by announcing her father would have supported—wait for it—Donald Trump. Yep, that’s right, the man behind Full Metal Jacket, one of the most iconic anti-war films ever made, would apparently be backing the former president in his crusade to “Make America Great Again.”

Now, this revelation didn’t come out of thin air. Trump’s team recently released a campaign video using footage from Full Metal Jacket, a movie known for its gritty depiction of military boot camps, to highlight what they see as the deterioration of America’s armed forces under President Biden. The video cleverly contrasts the intense, no-nonsense scenes of military training from the film with clips of U.S. service members participating in drag shows and Adm. Rachel Levine promoting the “Summer of Pride.” Trump’s message is crystal clear: The woke agenda is destroying our military, and it’s time to put an end to it.

Critics quickly pounced, claiming that Stanley Kubrick would have never approved of his movie being used in a Trump campaign ad, especially one critical of the military’s current leadership. Enter Vivian Kubrick, who decisively shut down the haters. In a social media post, she expressed her certainty that her father would not only approve of the footage being used but would have been a Trump supporter himself. Yes, this is the same Stanley Kubrick who supported Reagan and had a “great passion for guns,” according to his daughter. Sounds like a far cry from the gun-hating, anti-military crowd that many on the Left would like you to believe he belonged to.

“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,” she wrote.

“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.”

Vivian’s explanation is spot-on. Sure, Full Metal Jacket is an anti-war film, but that doesn’t mean it’s anti-military. Her father understood the complexities of human nature—how we can strive for peace but still need a strong military to protect our freedoms. She argues that the use of the footage was deliberate, a powerful juxtaposition meant to highlight the absurdity of woke ideology infiltrating the armed forces. It’s a reminder that while Trump’s goal is to keep America out of unnecessary wars, he knows the importance of a well-trained, mentally tough military—a military that isn’t distracted by “diversity, equity, and inclusion” nonsense.

“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!” she concluded.

Vivian’s statement couldn’t come at a better time. The Biden administration’s woke agenda is wreaking havoc on military recruitment. According to the Defense Authorization Bill, active-duty personnel have dropped by a staggering 64,000 over the last three years. That’s the smallest military force since pre-WWII! If that doesn’t sound the alarm, what will? Well, maybe the fact that the Navy thought it was a good idea to bring in a drag queen influencer to boost recruitment numbers. Yes, you read that right—a drag queen to help the Navy recruit sailors. What’s next, sensitivity training in basic combat?

The U.S. military, once a beacon of strength and resilience, is crumbling under this administration’s obsession with wokeness. Republicans have been warning about this for years, and now we’re seeing the consequences. Instead of focusing on building a powerful, focused force, the Biden administration seems more concerned about making sure everyone’s “feelings” are validated. Meanwhile, recruitment numbers are plummeting, and the country’s enemies are watching in delight.

So, if Stanley Kubrick’s daughter thinks her father would back Trump, it’s probably not because he was a die-hard Republican. It’s because he would see the bigger picture: America is under threat, not just from external forces but from the internal rot of woke culture infecting the very institutions meant to protect us. And if Full Metal Jacket footage helps Trump hammer that point home, well, Stanley Kubrick would probably tip his hat and say, “Go for it.”
