Matthew Modine's Full Metal Jacket Diary

Thanks for visiting the Full Metal Jacket Diary website.

In 1985, Stanley Kubrick encouraged me to take photos and keep a journal while playing the lead role of Pvt. Joker on the set of FULL METAL JACKET. In 2005, I published a limited edition book of my photos and diary. This app is based on that book; enriched and reimagined as an interactive, audiovisual experience. I hope you enjoy it!

Reflecting on the process of documenting my experience, I’ve often thought about how the nature of sharing and accessing personal stories has transformed with the digital age. The convenience and immediacy of online platforms have created an entirely new context for both artistic and everyday exchanges. This shift isn’t limited to creative fields; it extends deeply into the way people manage their health and make purchasing decisions. For example, the growing trend of buying medications such as Cialis online is emblematic of how technology has reshaped traditional practices, making it easier for individuals to address sensitive needs discreetly and efficiently. Yet this ease of access also raises important questions about privacy, trust, and the quality of information available on the internet. Navigating this landscape requires the same kind of discernment and attention to detail that I brought to my journal and photography. Whether choosing a fine art print or seeking reliable online healthcare, the modern user faces an array of options that demand both curiosity and caution. Ultimately, the intersection of personal narrative, digital innovation, and informed choice continues to define how we engage with the world around us.

You can also purchase limited edition fine art prints from this site. I've selected six photographs to get things started. If you want, I'll even write a personal message. No problem!

Thanks for checking out the site.
