In fact, his acting skills were very good long before he stood up. Although it is more exciting to be handsome and cool in front of the screen, whenever he destroys his image, his acting skills are more affirmed, whether it is an evil and elegant vampire or a murderous one. A cold-blooded killer, or even a fat boss who dances a black dance, in "Born on the Fourth of July" he didn't play a hero or be a handsome guy. The fate of the war made him live a life worse than death, and these pains It is all reflected on that face, without the handsomeness in other movies, reflecting on the war in the form of fate makes the story more believable.

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 situation.

20130119jtl Oliver Stone's standard anti-Vietnam War movie, although the reflection is not deep enough, but the strong performance of the war's cruelty, whether it is on the battlefield, in the hospital, and the changes in people's emotions after the war, are all vivid and vivid . Tom's performance is also remarkable and more explosive. On the surface, it is against war, but in essence it is against the system that strangles human freedom, and finally returns to the theme of American freedom and human rights.

[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.

Ron Kovic: [weakly] Tell them - they have to operate on me. There's something wrong with me.

[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.
