Review of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) by Elliot D — 14 Apr 2009
Born on the Fourth of July is the best war film of the year 1989 but I wouldn't say it isn't one of the best Vietnam war films ever made. it tells the true story of Ron Kovic, a Marine wounded in Vietnam, covering his life from childhood in New York, through his 1964 enlistment and tour of duty in Vietnam, to his harrowing stay at a veterans hospital in the Bronx and eventual transformation into a well-known anti-war activist starring Tom Cruise.
isn't as good as other Vietnam war films like Full Metal Jacket and The Deer Hunter. still Born on the Fourth of July is worth seeing. it was directed from the director of Midnight Express Oliver Stone.
