Review of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) by Jess C — 16 Jan 2009
This might well be one of the greatest war films ever to of come out during the 1980s.
And maybe of all time.
Thi is a 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 as Ron Kovic. this film did have very strong graphic sex scenes and I was put of by it. these scenes may be very graphic for young viewers. apart from that the film was very good.
Born on the Fourth of July is one of Oliver stone's best films and I think that it is the best that he has ever done. a masterpeice of a film!
