Review of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) by Franzhcritic — 17 Jan 2014
A true and pragmatic story of how our government took zealous young men and transformed them into cynical alcoholics by using them for their own greedy purposes. As far as we all should know, Vietnam was solely for profiting of oil.
Stone's direction and script is feisty and captivating, by affectively making each scene dramatic and not corny. Although, I can still see no aberration from Stone's previous work, as it's all on contentious and widely distributed ideas and topics.
Cruise is a revelation as Ron Kovic, a man whose life is more auspicious and pessimistic than any normal person.
