Do you remember things that made sense?

War and Peace on Paper
As someone whose birthday is July 4th, I took this movie as my birthday present today.
Unfortunately, I watched the version of the dying. I jumped directly from the parade to Tango turning into a bearded man, with strong anti-war and reflection emotions. There is no patriotic government, only...

In the later stages, the characterizations became more and more for the plot, and the inspiration at the end was even more... like a joke =_= But Stone's shooting method is still very good, the battlefield picture, the coordination of the sound, especially the shooting scene .

Under the moral kidnapping of "get out of the country if you don't love your country", the commoner was wrapped in a loud slogan and became an accomplice of the government. Ronnie, who is so strong to win and never admit defeat, always fuck up at a critical juncture. The smug Liangtang Saburo, who is full of scolding, is not the spokesperson of the United States. The short war will end, but chaos and misery will linger for a long time. Both the supporters and the opponents looked blank when they questioned their hearts. Life, beliefs and dreams have been fucked up after twists and turns. The Indians, Vietnamese and Mexicans who appear in the camera are not in a situation that can be understood by the American soldiers in wheelchairs. This hard-edged reactionary film almost won a little golden man, and was blocked by the hostile authorities on the other side of the ocean, which is really strange.

[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.
