  • Is this a psychological movie like After Life, anyone?

  • the book was amazing

  • @m021394 well im not much of a reader. I liked the book but i enjoyed mostly the 2nd half.

    @2it2ga nope drama i would say

  • I saw this movie last night i hope new movies would be as hard to forget like this one.

  • landmine has taken my sight

    taken my speech

    taken my hearing

    taken my arms

    taken my legs

    taken my soul

    left me with life in hell 

  • @TheHairyCookieJar isn't that a part from the song one

  • @uditmaniac Yes, it is. The song is about the book.

  • I first saw parts of the movie in Metallica's One music video, but then I watched the movie. Great stuff. Even though I'm not antiwar or a pacifist or anything, it was still really good.

  • Why does he have a bag like thing on his face?

  • @111vnderbnder111 Because he lost all his senses and it'd be pretty horrific to look at.

  • @CameronS654321 What would it look like?!

  • How can that person survive if he can't even eat or drink? :S

  • @Metaligaga009 same way life support works today i guess

  • @Metaligaga009 It's called IV bro.

  • @dodge69874

    Bro?

    I'm a girl -.-

  • @Metaligaga009 lol. My bad. I had a 50/50 chance.

  • @dodge69874

    No problem, man.

  • @Metaligaga009 your a girl? ahh the only thing your good for is doing the dishes and breeding. pft

  • Look, read the book. It explains more. Plus you will see a few lines from metallica's song here and there.

  • FUCK WAR.

  • after seeing the trailer (and scenes from the metallica music video for "one"), i can tell that this looks like a depressing movie.

  • The most devestating film i've ever watched. You'll cry. Oh you will cry.

  • Darkness improssining me all that i see

  • how the fuck can somebody lose eyes, ears, nose, and mouth(and tongue, he can't speak)....?

  • @TheIceBreaker90 You moron!!! he is not speaking, he is using Morse Code!!!

  • @NICKAHLO Did you even read what I wrote? I said "how can somebody lose moth,eyes,...." and not "Why is he speaking"

  • @TheIceBreaker90 You said: He can´t speak.

    And man he´s not!!! the voice you hear is about his thoughts.

    You better either watch the movie or even better read the book!!!

  • @NICKAHLO Look. I asked, how somebody can LOSE!!!! his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth! I know he is not speaking. I said "he can't speak" because I thought that people without mouth are able to speak, so he had to lose his tongue too (I meant lips), wich is nonsense, but if you are such an expert , you can tell me how he lost his sense organs .

  • @TheIceBreaker90 Of course you could lose them all - are you daft? He got blown to pieces by an artillery shell!

  • @andy7666 sorry I was just angry because of this guy over me . Yeah, but why he couldn't speak? He didn't even make noises!

  • @TheIceBreaker90 actually he has a tracheotomy(a tube going right into his trachea, but below his vocal cords) so he can't get air to them, because air takes the path of least resistance. so if he tried to talk the air just goes right back out the tube instead of up his trachea through his voc cords. if you plugged his tube he MIGHT be able to vocalize, unless his trachea was crushed(which it probably was because that's probably why they did the tracheotomy in the first place). make sense?

  • @specimen25 yes, thanks

  • @TheIceBreaker90, He got hit by a mortor shell and it took of his limbs, eyes, etc you little git.

  • @gheldmann thanks.

  • @TheIceBreaker90 the novel and the movie are way to exaggerated,because if someone would get his arms,legs and his face blown off by an explosion he would die instantly or 5 minutes later from blood loss

    But it has a point,war is horror

  • @Silvester94T3 He didn't lose his arms and legs in the explosion; they were amputated later because they were so badly damaged.

  • this scared me.

  • War is the last successful American Industry.

    Major General Smedly Butler and D. Eisenhower called it.

  • GREAT MOVIE

  • i thought it was the nurse that figured out it was morse code?

  • 0;49 this is the guy from willy wonka!!

  • What about his feelings? Can he still feel?

  • @Roggie67 feelings come from our thoughts- if hes got attachments in this world-then he has emotions of want , of frustrated needs, anger /rage of his handicap or being still alive,or fear of threats of being hurt w no self defence, wants to see family,etc, communicate -this is like catch -22"-is war the result of the isolating couple-based culture?-thank you religious pimps

  • @Roggie67 Yep.

  • What I don't get is why they call it Johnny Got His Gun, how can he have a gun when he has no arms, no legs, no mouth etc etc. ????

  • @sharkslayer500 The title comes from the phrase "Johnny get your gun", a rallying call that was commonly used to encourage young American men to enlist in the military in the late 19th and early 20th century.

  • @sharkslayer500

    "Johnny Got His Gun" as in he took the gun, went for the war, & ended up in this shit hole.

  • what's wrong with this guy's face? why is it covered with a box?

  • @brodiebh supposedly,he has no eyes and mouth

  • @MDIVISIONRULES how about a nose?

  • @brodiebh he's lost this one too

  • @MDIVISIONRULES damn that must hurt!

  • @MDIVISIONRULES -rich hospitals/docs too cheap to get him a human face like mask

  • @lmollot In the film,he can't speak,see,taste and smell.Why would he want a mask?

  • @lmollot his face was burned so it couldn't touch his face without extreme pain.

  • does anybody know from where can i download it??please

  • @metallicaddicted1 search on google TORRENTZ and click on first link and there you search your movie, and yu need to have Utorrent software

  • @metallPAUL thank u man!!! i found it saw it and its awesome!!

  • @metallicaddicted1 Well done, you've just admitted to committing a crime.

  • @YouAreAnIdiotSoThere i cant find my comment.. what did i say? xD

  • Imagine not knowing morse code in that situtation.

  • @Mixonpl ...it didnt really help him even when they understood what he wanted. maybe that's worse - having ppl understand and not care than having them not understand at all

  • @Mixonpl haha lol

    nice one

  • what a film! thank you metallica!

  • The main Character (Timothy Bottoms) ironically played the George W. Bush in the T.V. show that's my bush in the early 2000's XD, i miss that show, lol

  • Who's is the guy they show with with the top hat laughing?

  • @Cioppa182 his father

  • Jesus Christ imagine how tortuous that is. Thank you Metallica for this. lol

  • The movie seems to be worth it, really wanna watch it, God i luv metallica, they have the most meaningful songs ever!

  • man this movie was very depressing.

  • 01:06 Diane Varsi,a verry successfull actress :)

  • What kind of a bomb or artillery shell can destory all four limbs and your face....but leave your central nervous system and brain completely intact? I've heard of smart bombs, but that thing's got a PHD.

  • @dave4248, Hey, anythings possible. Hitler survived an explosion because of a pool table.

  • @dave4248 Brendan Marrocco. Guy got hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Lost both arms, both legs, 8 teeth, smashed his face, lost 80% of his blood and put a hole in his carotid artery.

    The guy still lives today.

  • @99sd3763 , I've heard of him. A brave man and a great hero. But he has vision in his right eye and can still hear and talk. The guy in this movie loses ALL of his senses, and limbs but still has all of his thinking ability. No bomb today can do that, far less 1917.

  • @dave4248 - wheres all the damaged vietnamese or burned japanese women /kids shot/bombed by our soldiers on utube- or do they not want to draw attention & cause sadness in others?

  • Four stars from Roger Ebert. What a..........surprise.

  • dont seem right without metallica in the backround

  • ...And Justice For "One".

  • this movie sticks in ur head for a few dayz..well, i did in mine

  • @HuckeysWorld it really does, its like scary but not normal scary, it just trips you out basically

  • @HuckeysWorld makes you feeel bad dont it

  • This is the single most fucking devastating book, ever. No book has made me cry like a little bitch as much as this did. It never takes the easy way out. The day I got it, I couldn't put it down and I finished it in a matter of just a few hours. The movie looks just as good, and the mask over Joe's face makes it just that more terrifying. The song by Metallica makes the story even more devastating. Anyone who is in favor of war NEEDS to read this book.

  • is it all about a an man whos paralised ?

  • @TheRunescape0001 lost his legs arms and most senses from standing on a landmine.

  • @IxNobodyx he was hit by artilary and lost his legs arms mouth eyes ears and nose....but he survives so he can still thikn......hes a man trapped in his own body pretty much

  • What's going on at :33?

  • @worshipsoundz while there fishing, his father would have told him that some Red Indians had the misfortune of being caught and drowned in that lake. That scene show him dreaming about their remains underwater.

  • "Darkness imprisoning me all that I see absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die trapped in myself body my holding cell landmine has taken my sight taken my speech taken my hearing taken my arms taken my legs taken my soul left me with life in hell" \m/
  • Why can't movies be perfectly put together likes the older ones, movies nower days are all repetetive, about the same old thing, and all the Directors are trying to battle with eachother over who has best CGI effects, it sucks :/

  • o filme que mais me impressionou!

  • ...And Justice For All...or atleast for...One...

  • @ghostfacedude93 I think "One" was the only good thing to come off the ...And Justice For All album.

  • I am seventy now and have not seen the movie, but I have read the book. I don't remember the year but I was young then so late forties early fifties. This was a book about a soldier in the great war that was hit by a grenade. I say Great War because the first world war did not come about until after the second world war had started. This poor guy lost sight, hearing, arms and legs from the explosion. The book is his thoughts and struggles til someone understood his head tapping in Morse Code.

  • @onebaud you should listen to Metallica's One.Its the greatest masterpiece in music based on this story

  • @onebaud correct me if i'm wrong, but ww1 started, (and ended,) before ww2..ww2 didnt come before ww1. it was probably just a typing error on your part, but nevertheless, it bothered me for some reason... :P also, ghostofrockyhorror, it's actually a very well known and popular book that has gained millions and millions of dollars in profit, as it's considered to be a classic book..it's one many awards in literature, and in high school my english class read it. (the movie was just as famous.)

  • @TheNerdMega lol no what he was saying is they use to call it The Great War, but they later started calling it World War 1 when World War 2 started

  • thubs up of ur here cos of metalicas one :P

  • @NickF97S duh

  • possibly one of the greatest psychological terror movie ever made in my opinion... It's a shame not many people have heard of it. It makes you wonder if anyone ever went through what the guy went through in the movie in real life?

  • @GhostOfRockyHorror It was based on a true story. Trumbo found a man locked in a closet when he was a nurse as a conscientious objector in WW1. He had no arms, face, or legs. Trumbo kissed his head and the guy nodded.

  • so what exaclty happend to him?

  • @jkiller990 got hit by a bomb...survived, but ended up losing his arms, legs, and face

  • Simply put, Dalton Trumbo was the man. 

    "Gentlemen, here is the only issue before this house! And that is: are you for this thing here or are you against it?! And if they are against it, then let them stand up like men and vote. And, if they are for it, let them be hanged and drawn and quartered and paraded through the streets and thrown out into the fields where no clean animal will touch them - and may no green thing ever grow where they rot.

  • ive been looking for this movie forever.. and still havent found it.

  • @eeelz1 i bet netflix has it lol

  • this movie scared the shit out of me!

  • muy wena la pelicula - excelent movie

  • such an immensely powerful anti-war movie!...a genuine masterpiece! plus-it was the inspiration for metallica's masterpiece, which gives it even more credit imo!!...

  • I saw metallica's great song one and always wondered if this was real and now I know I may have to see it very significant !

  • this movie freaked the shit out of me

  • @zzzander8 why?

  • @zzzander8 haha me too

  • I love this film and book and I cant wait to purchase this special edition DVD as this masterpiece has been ignored for years, But stating this is the first time JGHG has been released on DVD is a bold faced lie it has been out on R2 for years, man these corporations will do anything to get your money.

  • Oh finally...I was searching for it for years atleast on a VHS and finally it's out on DVD!

  • the most powerful anti war movie iv ever seen

  • THE MOST F@CKED UP MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! A MUST SEE & SHOULD B REQUIRED READING IN HIGH SCHOOL(at least 12 grade)

  • i love this cheezey ass movie

  • im gona find this book lol

  • Świetny film ..na prawdę przygnębiający. Mało doceniany, lecz ja polecam wszystkim.

  • Gdzie go dorwałeś?

  • z torrentów ściągłem :-)

  • Po polsku czy angielsku? xd

  • Po ang. ale mam napisy :D

  • Ok, dzięki. Też obejrzę w miarę możliwości xd

  • Nie ma sprawy, na prawdę polecam, bardzo mocny film. Pozdros :)

  • quedo sin patico

  • i really must see this is movie. and is it true that metallica actually owns the rights for this movie?

  • yes that is correct. Metallica bought the rights for this movie. When they made the clip for their song "One".

  • yes it is

  • does it show the wanking scene,like in the book ?

  • metallica  one

  • got this movie for christmas! i basically wanted it because metallica used it for their video!

    this was a good movie. i want to watch it again!

    i was also surprised to see metallica's video in the special features section

  • Metallica took this story and created one of the greatest ever pieces of music from it.

  • yeah, one of the best metal song ever

  • @ejl1000 AMEN!!!!

    good movie eh? i remembered every line that was in the one video!

  • I aint actually seen the movie but I'm quite intregued by it

  • @ejl1000 its interesting. the boy dreams a lot... as that is all he can do

  • @ejl1000 no , metallica created one , then they realized there was a movie with the same story ;P

    then they mixed it in the clip .

  • @peruvian4041 hum, no.

    actually metallica owns complete the rights to this film lol

  • @Apostacious yes you right xdd :P

    haha

  • @ejl1000 One should be the soundtrack to this movie, I know the movie was made a long time ago before the song

  • I remember the book being required reading in my high school. It was the scariest book I have ever read. I remember my English teacher having a poster that promoted the movie.

  • it is my favourite book in the whole world. unfortunately, it was not required reading in the school i went to...

  • Johnny get your gun, get your gun, get your gun. Take it on the run, on the run, on the run. Hear them calling you and me, Every Son of Liberty. Hurry right away, no delay, go today. Make your Daddy glad to have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line.

    Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there

    That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming!

    This movie sucked and that nurse scene was an insult to all nurses.

  • Whats the book called? is it good and should i read it?

  • the book is called.. Johnny Got His Gun

    It's good

  • book is called johnny got his gun and i highly recommend it

  • Johnny Got his Gun. By Dulton Trumbo himself. One of the best novel ever. If the film is 4 star the book is 5+

  • the most terrifying , mind blowing, depressing, dark, true, direct, at some parts unbearable, unimaginable, deep and extremely hard to watch, film I have ever known and I would even say, that ever existed. Just to put it on the level of human-to-human mind understanding, it just simply not fit in ''everyday'' understanding for most humans. Every thinking human being will realize how unbearable the state of mind and physical condition this is where one exists as a conscious ''peace of meat''.

  • Hardly that. Hardly the most difficult book to read either. I study the dark side of the human mind in order to try to come to grips with the insanity of our culture. A Clockwork Orange is one of my favorite films. Very difficult to watch. I can't watch it more than about once a year. Yet I couldn't get more than about twenty pages into Anthony Burgess' novel. I invite you to do better.

    Taxi Driver is the same for me. I can't watch the bloody scenes at all.

  • And for difficult-to-read books made into difficult-to watch films, with genius oozing from every pore of each instance, Hubert Selby Jr.: Last Exit to Brooklyn and Requiem for a Dream.

    Both books, and both movies, will change the way you view life, the world, fiction, and film. Promise. Not to be missed by any serious student of serious art, or life. As though there's a difference between the two.

  • What's that like, "studying the dark side of the human mind"?

  • scene's from this movie was used in metallica's music video "One"

  • The song was based off this movie.

  • This film and story is so disturbing to think about. I read the book a few years ago and I still think about it to this day, its one of those that stays with you.

    Imagine how you would deal with being trapped inside your mind, in pure darkness, unable to do anything but think. You cant imagine the mental torment, its a hell of a scary concept. I'd say as close to hell as one could get.

  • I'm currently reading the book, and when i'm finished I have to watch this movie!

  • im thinking if that happend to someone now, they could be able to put some prostetics on him and restructure his face, i mean it sucks that at that time they didnt have stuff like that. that could of helped him. oh and i read that the author wrote this about someone that this really happend to. i mean that just messed up.

  • This is the movie which was part of Metallica's hardcore dong, ONE?

  • yes it is

  • yes.. a great song..

  • I have a hardcore dong too :3
