You have heard saying that "you can not see the forest for the trees", right? It
It refers to someone who arrives so caught up in details, which
miss the big picture. Reading further comments on IMDb about "Born on the Fourth
From July," I believe that people have the problem with this movie. So many
People seem to be a day to talk about Vietnam, the war, Nixon, America,
communism and hippies, who totally ignore Ron Kovic.
Ron Kovic is the center of this film. In "Platoon", the war was the center, and
The central character (Charlie Sheen's Chris Taylor) is no more than a POV
character through whose eyes we see the war. Not so in "Born on the Fourth of July
." Vietnam is the scenario, the context and background. But
Ron Kovic is the story.
Oliver Stone really understood a character arc. See Kovic's life,
Where begins, where it ends. The film is the journey, how he got from A to B.
It is a dramatization of a life, as opposed to real life, but
still rings true. It feels true. It reaches a level of artistic truth,
Even if some truths are literally ignored, distorted or reorganized.
That is what Stone is trying to do. Those who quibble about the facts miss
Point. (This is an issue that I will take again when reviewing some of
Stone of other films, such as the stone is constantly being bashed for historical
Inaccuracies.) Connections from one point to the next admirable job
And progression is totally credible, which is enough for such a feat
A dramatic change in attitude (compare to "American History X", where the main
Character goes through a similar about the face with little motivation).
In any case, what impresses me of this movie is the honesty and respect with
Stone, which presents the views of the film. Say what you want about Stone
political opinion, but the argument in this film is presented in a light
very neutral. It is a story about the choices Kovic, Kovic
policy, Kovic of judgments. And the anti-Vietnam belief that eventually
supported in the final act is a natural part and credible outcome of the
history. This film is not anywhere near as didactic as some people want
Imagine.
Oliver Stone's tragedy is that, because it has been so edgy, so
Controvertido, so deliberately provocative, nobody can really just sit
And, with a neutral eye, see his films. They have become so overwhelmed by
This giant, irrelevant, political squabble. The films have been subsumed by
tried to questions posed. And it's a pity, this movie
Above all, because it is excellent.
Tom Cruise gives possibly the best performance of his career (
I can not think of anything that he heads, although his performance in "Eyes Wide Shut"
For very different reasons , is so striking). The script is fantastic
, taking time that needs to take time, but not overly
Deliberada in its approach. It is very economical with time. We know what
Each scene has to say, and says it without any excess baggage,
wasted space or downtime. The location is excellent, as is the editing and cinematography
. The supporting cast is excellent.
But this movie is nothing without the dramatic, heartbreaking, true
History of Ron Kovic. So while we admire the technical achievement of the movie
, while discussing the issues, while enshrining or excoriate
Manager (as the case may be), let us not forget history. Let's not get so
shot on Vietnam until forget that Ron Kovic. He is the heart and soul
this movie.
A final note: When people call bristled that this is an anti-war film. That
actually decreases, in my opinion. It is much more than that. Not only
saying that war is brutal, vicious and horrible.
Is saying something much more specific about a particular war, and about the effect of the war in a specific
man.
I avoided this when it came out in 1989 (1978) and
not want to revisit the topic of sexual dysfunction and paraplegic
Frustration. Also, we do not want to reprise the bloody horror of our
Participation in the Vietnam War I knew that Oliver Stone would
Serve. And Tom Cruise as Ron Kovic? I simply do not think it would
Labour.
Well, my prejudices were wrong.
First, for those who think that Tom Cruise is more than just another pretty boy
(That was basically my opinion), this film exposes the mistaken notion that

Stringent - physical, mental, emotional and artistic. I do not

How anyone could play this role and be the same person. Someday in

For Oliver Stone.
And secondly, the treatment of stone sexual life of Viet Vets in wheelchairs
Absolutely without sentimentality or silver lining. No
rose petals and not soft pedaling. There was Jane Fonda, as Coming Home,
Playing an angel of love. Instead of high school friend was understandably
their own way, and love became something you bought if you can afford
.
And thirdly, the stone image of America - and this movie is really about
America, between the years 1950 and 1970 - from the pseudo-innocence

Also striking were some of the scenes. In particular, the confession

Of course, as usual, Oliver Stone political message of a heavy burden on

But I imagine that the guys who fought in Vietnam and won back
