Many Americans presume that Hollywood and the entertainment industry are filled with Democrat-supporting leftists, and while that seems to be generally true in most instances, there are some rather notable exceptions.

One of those is Vivian Kubrick, the daughter of legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, who recently asserted that her late father would most likely have proudly supported former President Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again movement, Fox News reported.

That revelation came amid a controversy that erupted recently over Trump's use of footage from Kubrick's film "Full Metal Jacket" as part of a campaign ad that attacked how his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, and President Joe Biden have ruined the U.S. military with "woke" policies over the past few years.

Trump's new ad juxtaposing "Full Metal Jacket" with Biden-Harris' "woke" military

Over the weekend, former President Trump unveiled the new military-themed campaign ad on social media and captioned the minute-and-a-half video, "WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!"

The ad itself includes multiple clips from the "Full Metal Jacket" anti-war movie that featured the late former U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor R. Lee Ermey, essentially portraying himself, famously haranguing new Marine recruits as drill instructors do during basic training to try and toughen them up before they were shipped off to fight in the Vietnam War.

Juxtaposed with those movie clips were other video clips of gay and transgender individuals who've been granted prominent positions and attention in the Biden-Harris administration's "woke" military that seems focused more on social justice and leftist ideology than fighting and winning military conflicts.

Kubrick's daughter fine with Trump's use of "Full Metal Jacket" footage

As with virtually everything that former President Trump does, there was instant criticism from Hollywood, including at least one of the stars of Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," actor Matthew Modine, who previously surmised that the late Stanley Kubrick would make a critical "black comedy" about "grotesque" leaders like Trump, but the filmmaker's daughter published a lengthy X post in support of what Trump had done with the campaign ad, according to the New York Post.

"Here are my thoughts," Vivian Kubrick posted. "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 continued. "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," Kubrick said. "Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with."

Daughter says she's "confident" late father would've supported Trump

Kubrick wasn't quite finished yet, though, as she revealed, "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!" she continued.

"My father had a great respect for life -- his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!" Kubrick added. "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! Capisce?"
