Review of Johnny Got His Gun (2008) by Johnny N — 11 Jun 2013
Quite a challenging, confronting anti war film that was the major inspiration for the hit song One by Metallica.
Dalton Trumbo (writer & director) really stuck a knife into the government & their agenda's within war.
Basically the story of a young man in WW1 who loses his all of his arms, legs & face in battle & the government still keep him alive. Left with his full conscious brain he struggles in every way.
It's a powerful film clearly made on a budget, but the subject matter is powerful & stays with you, surprisingly this film just came & went theatrically but is a must see anti war film....
