Movies I watched 20 years ago! It feels like Tom's most attentive film! When I was just fascinated by their "Top Gun", I was amazed to see his self-destructive image in this film, and at the same time I admired his courage to devote himself to art! Of course, he also won the 47th Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series for this film. What impressed me most was the anti-war sentiment and sad atmosphere expressed in the film. The brutal war's twist on human nature is shocking! A good film should be thought-provoking!
