Amazon Prime Removes 'Born to Kill' from Full Metal Jacket Poster

Amazon Prime faced backlash after removing the iconic 'Born to Kill' phrase from the movie poster of Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket on its platform. This alteration sparked outrage among users and even led Warner Bros. to request the restoration of the original art. Actor Matthew Modine, who starred in the film, expressed disappointment over the removal, emphasizing the symbolic significance of the phrase in depicting the 'duality of man.' While some viewed the change as censorship, others suggested it might be a design requirement to prevent clutter on the poster. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between streaming services and preserving the integrity of classic cinema artwork.
