    The real battlefield is in China... Sometimes I always feel that many stories are beyond the reach of the movie, but this movie really touched...

    When Liang Tang was young, the hairline was so backward? For films like Reflections on War, it feels like the pedagogical significance outweighs the practical impact. Even if there are 100 auctions a year, upper-level decision makers will still only act according to the political...

    Needless to say, Oliver Stone, one of my favorite author-type directors, has always been very strong and sharp, anti-Vietnam War, satirizing the government, and the mental state of the Vietnam War torture of disabled soldiers, clear. The former Tommy performed very hard and sacrificed a lot. It can be regarded as the most beautiful masterpiece in the actor's career and deserves to be...

    Are you a national hero? No, no, you're just a brain-dead...

    Too many plots that can't face up to their own faults are contrived and procrastinated, perhaps because Tom Cruise's acting skills are a bit sloppy. ← Rhymes. . . . Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

    Our angry youths were fighting online, and America's angry youths went to the real battlefield. But it is as if Long Yingtai asked: "What did the war really bring to the individual and what did it really create for the nation." Are you and I deceived by society? Being deceived by the government? Or by ideology? I also want to know who is defending whose spirit. Not everyone needs to dream Guevara. . ....

    All from the personal point of view of the male protagonist, he was able to evolve from a hot-blooded young man willing to participate in war into an angry anti-war fighter, only because of two reasons: one is the guilt (mental trauma) of killing on the battlefield; Disability (physical trauma) from war. As for the deep-seated reasons for the Vietnam War and the price the entire country paid for it, very little was...

    The music is top-notch, and there are already some scenes on the screen that pave the way for "Born to Kill". Unlike general war films, for example, it focuses more on depicting the relationship between family and war. Tom did a good...

    This is Tom's pinnacle. Maybe I prefer Vietnam War movies, but I really think Oliver Stone is one of the directors who understands Vietnam War the...

    A good iron does not strike nails, and a good man is not a soldier. It is said that Tom Cruise should have an Oscar statue to prove that he has been in...

    Reflecting on War and Humanity

    The whole film gives people a dull and depressing feeling, but it makes people think deeply about the meaning of war. In the film, I saw Ronnie's situation after returning home due to injury, from patriotic dedication to the war without regrets to later depravity, doubts, and finally even...

    Is the American dream broken?

    Color: clever use of the red, blue and white filters of the American flag, and the white filter on the battlefield in Vietnam, to create that kind of terrifying and cruel scene effect and psychological effect;

    Music: Country folk songs in the Midwest, explaining the identity and background of the...

Born on the Fourth of July quotes

  • Ron Kovic: They burned the flag and they demonstrated against us; it's on the cover of the paper today. They have no respect. They have no idea what's going on over there, Mom - the men that are sacrificing their lives. People are dying every day over there, and nobody back here even seems to care. It's a bunch of goddamn shit if you ask me!

    Mrs. Kovic: Ronnie, don't take the Lord's name in vain - not in front of the children. I agree with everything you say!

    Ron Kovic: I served my country - and they just want to take from it - just take, take! Love it or leave it, that's what I think.

  • Lieutenant - Vietnam: [to Ron Kovic] It wasn't your fault, goddamn it! They got in the goddamn way!
