hi .. wud u happen to have the whole movie starring ben mckenzie .. i seem to have a very hard time downloading this film on any website..it'll be a great pleasure if u do .. tnx
I've watched the 1971 version attracted by the video clip of Metallica.
One week I was having a nightmare. The story is about the monstrosities that can be produced in a war. How much suffering happens in a war which the people who had no contact with the war have no idea.
@theycallmedumb Probably 'cause it's a young actor from 2008 using extremely dated dialogue and pronouncing it in the same fashion as when it was original. And also probably 'cause it's just a guy on a stage making out with the air and playing with his imaginary friends.
This does not look all that great, however if you have not read the book, do so . It is one of the most moving books I have ever read. It is beautiful and terrifying.
Yea i watched like 5 minutes of this movie and it sucks. Doesnt do the book any justice at all. They need to make a modern version and make people open their eyes to the realities of war
the original book and 1971 movie are disturbing but brilliant. This 2008 version is terrible, lacks everything the orignals had. Fucken shittest remake ive ever seen, and the acting can go get fucked. I get so pissed off when i see these fucken shit remakes fucking up the original films, whoever directed this should give up an pursue another career, possibly as a gay porn star considering how much he loves focusing his attention on this faggot of an actor
The book is cool! Metallica owns the 1971 movie! They made a song about this called "One". And the guy didn't only lose his face, he lost his arms and legs too
I can see how this would be good live. I think it's incredibly naive to judge this -one-person show- when I haven't seen it. Maybe the haters down below this comment could grow up, and then they could go to local live performances and see the pureness, and empathy of a good actor. To be honest though, I have no desire to see this on film or TV.
I just saw -Birdy- 1984 on TCM. It's a 1984 film, but could have been made yesterday. Awesome!!!
you cannot replicate anywhere near the original considering its morbid implications. It would not be fresh anhow, and what's more, its filmed in colour; black and white strikes the appalingness of the pre-colour TV era.I hope the public do not invest in watching this!
lol this looks poxy as the old movie was cool but this is just pathetic is it just a theatre ver?? coz they just ruind a good movie.. ben mckenzie is a fukin dick to shit actor
i gave you a thumbs-up, cos I totally agree. Some things should be left untouched, like the original. But there will always be an audience for it. Although I was also pissed off when they revised Star Wars to include spectacular cpu power!
Not true according to critics and its reviews. Trailers can be misleading and it's hard to make a good trailer for a theatre like film like this. See the film in its entirety and then say something. Until then, it's best you be quiet because you're talking out of your ass.
oh i'm sorry random youtube user.... i was under the impression people usually use youtube to make off the cuff, non-thought-out comments.. clearly i'm the ONLY one who does that then! prick
I'd like to say otherwise. I saw it at the premier in Austin, and I thought he played the part pretty well. Now, it was filmed as a play in a black box theatre. It would've been better seeing it live, but that still doesn't change how good he was.
it's not a movie.. as I understand it's acting on a stage which is filmed in NORMAL THEATRES not crappy cinema hole where they rob your money with shitty movies
No it's not.... just too dated and nothing like the book. I actually SAW this one and so I can share the TRUTH with people that this version is much more true to the book and just as powerful... the 1971 film is OK but I like this one much more... they are BOTH good, just different... I'm a "book" purist as opposed to a "movie" purist so I'm sure that enters into it for me.
This is theatrical. Not really a movie, and I actually prefer theatre acting over movie acting as it has the tendancy to be more artistic. It takes a lot of talent to be able to pull off a play/theatre work, but the original movie was indeed very good.
@sportsmed77 I ve read the book, seen the movie, seen the metallica video. They are both very powerfull. Any idea if it is still presenting an dhow to find out where and when? Miss Saigon fell out of production while I was a kid. I was in Iraq on my third deployment in 2008. Had no Idea of any new interest on the story of Johnny got his gun. Madam I will look for an official website
@bigtimepimpin666 Very cool! :D Thank you for all you've done for my country. Well, this version (which is pretty much a recorded play) will be distributed for free to every high school in the US I think for educational purposes so you can start there.
