About this photograph :
Unfit
"Full Metal Jacket" hit cinema screens in 1987. The photograph "Unfit" is from the first part of film dedicated to the training of Marine recruits before being dispatched to Vietnam. It depicts Sergent Hartman, in charge of the training of the Marines, and the recruit Leonard Lawrence nicknamed "Gomer Pyle". Leonard, of limited intelligence, turns out to be unfit to receive training. Harassed by Hartman, scapegoat for the entire company, he ends up by killing his torturer before shooting himself. Stanley Kubrick’s craving for perfectionism is demonstrated as far as the distribution of the roles. The actor who portrays the instructor really was a Marine sergeant. At the start, he is technical advisor for the film and in charge of casting the actors to play the recruits. After having viewed the film of these auditions, Kubrick immediately gives him the role of the sergeant. The insults, which make up about half of Hartman’s dialogue, are in fact entirely written by this retired sergeant. Kubrick estimates the number of insults for the dialogues at approximately 150 pages.
