Review of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) by Michael C — 10 Nov 2007
Oliver Stone deserved his Best Directing Oscar for this movie. Tom Cruise plays a crippled Vietnam veteran, confused and angry at his situation. He must come to terms with his disabilities, his anger at the country's reaction to the war, and his own actions during the combat.
Co-starring Frank Whaley, Willem Dafoe, Raymond J. Barry, and a number of others, this film is a jewel from the past, and could be related to even today.
