Review of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) by Adam A — 21 Dec 2009
Born on the fourth of july tells you the real life story of Ron Kovic a Vietnamese veteran that got injured and lost both of his leg during the war. The movie starts by showing his early life, his ambitious achievements, his proud family - then it goes to Vietnam; the horrid things they did there and the post life after the war. The movie is long, but it's bearable in some way. Depressing obviously, honest and brutal; Oliver Stone capture the pain and lost during this time brilliantly, or maybe I need to give the 4 star to the main actor; Tom Cruise?
Tom Cruise is still one of my fav actor, this guy knows how to act and delivered some great memorable movies through out his filmography, and to see him in one of his earlier career is awesome! He was nominated for Oscar, and I am certain he should have won. Decent supporting actors too.
8/10.
