Subject: Full Metal Jacket and Dispatches writer Michael Herr dies

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/27/16 at 2:47 am

Michael Herr, who co-wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Full Metal Jacket and whose non-fiction novel Dispatches documented the Vietnam War, has died aged 76. His death on Thursday in New York was confirmed by publisher Alfred A Knopf, which released 1977's Dispatches. The book became a classic of war reportage not long after its release. New York-born Herr also helped write the voiceover narration for Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now.

When FMJ is my second favourite of Stanley Kubrick, it gets to my heart.
