I watched "Born on July 4th" last night and rediscovered Tom Cruise's style. He is really a great actor. When I watched "Mr. Sweetheart", I thought this was a good actor. I don't know why, as long as he cooperates with Spieldberg, his performance is not good ("Minority Report", "World War").

If a man is paralyzed in his lower body and his genitals are completely useless, is he still a man?

The experience of the role of Tom Cruise reminds me of the supporting role in "Never Compromise", "A woman without double breasts and without a uterus is still a woman?" "Of course it counts, and she is a happier woman." "Erin said.

The role of Tom Cruise can't be laughed off like this. Ron volunteered to participate in the Vietnam War and wanted to serve his motherland. He accidentally killed women, children and companions in a foreign country. He was shot and paralyzed his lower body. After returning to China, the national anti-war ideology made him suffer from the wounded soldiers who volunteered to join the army. He fled to Mexico, hoping to escape all this.

This is a thought-provoking scene of "making love". The Mexican prostitute enjoyed the pleasure that Ron gave her with his mouth and hands, and Ron wept in the prostitute's arms.

Ron is a complicated man, he joined the anti-war ranks in the end, and became the main force, and finally participated in the presidential election.

The thoughts that the whole movie wants to express are also very complicated. In my opinion, this is an anti-Nixon government and anti-Vietnam War movie, which challenges religion and authority. Every picture in the film is full of irony.

"Born on July 4th" is the second of Oliver Stone's Vietnam War trilogy. The theme of the Vietnam War is always questioning the hearts of the audience-what is war. In "We were Soldiers," Mel Gison told the children that war is when father is forced to do what he thinks is wrong. "Black Hawk Coming" (although it is not about the Vietnam War, but I think the nature is the same) said that killing enemies on the battlefield is to protect their companions, no one is right or wrong...

PS. The bearded Tom Cruise is very similar to Zhao Jie.
