| This is actually more of an anti-war movie
rather than a war movie. Regardless as to what your personal
feelings or positions were regarding the Vietnam War, this is a
good movie to see. It gives a glimpse into the lives of
Vietnam veterans as they come home to face a society divided on
the conflict in which they had just made such great sacrifices.
It's based on the life of Ron Kovic, a veteran who eagerly
volunteered for the Vietnam War, became paralyzed and eventually
emerged as a voice for the disenchanted. Tom Cruise provides
one of his best performances in this film. |
