There will be no Forrest Gump without being born on July 4
When I watched it, I felt that this movie is like the anti-war version of "Forrest Gump". A later investigation revealed that "Born on July 4th" came before and "Forrest Gump" came after. So it should be the latter that has a lot of tribute (plagiarism) to the former. For example, the...

tom is good

[Ron is attempting to walk in the hospital; Willie is beside him]
Ron Kovic: Am I good? Hey
[drags himself forward]
Ron Kovic: , am I good?
Willie: Man, you're one crazy Marine, Kovic - so gung-ho and everything, but you don't know shit about what's really happenin' in this country.
Ron Kovic: Fuck you, Willie.
Willie: I'm serious man. It ain't about burnin' the flag and Vietnam, man. While we fight for rights over there, we ain't got no rights at home. It's about Detroit and Newark, man. It's about racism, man.
Ron Kovic: Is that right?
Willie: Because you can't get no job at home. Vietnam is a white man's war, a rich man's war.
Ron Kovic: (contemptuously) Where's my money?
Willie: I'm serious, man, you gotta read some books. There's a revolution going on, Kovic. Brothers are gettin' it together, and if you ain't part of the solution, man, then you're part of the problem.

Chaplain - Vietnam: How are you?
Ron Kovic: [weakly] Tell them - they have to operate on me. There's something wrong with me.
Chaplain - Vietnam: The doctors are real busy right now. There's a lot of wounded here today. No time for anything except trying to stay alive, so you got to try and stay alive, okay? You hear me? Try and stay alive.
[pause]
Chaplain - Vietnam: I've come to give you your last rites. Are you ready?
Ron Kovic: [weakly] Yeah.
Chaplain - Vietnam: I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. You brught nothing into this world, and it is certain that you will take nothing out of it. The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
