  • james earn this....earn it.

  • M E R R Y C H R I S T H M A S J O H N N Y.
  • God I love this movie

  • I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy thank the Lord it's only a book/movie when i saw the metallica video for the second time i almost cried

  • @GHmonsta302 It isn't just a movie it happens all the time.We musn't forget, Johnny.

  • @abby495 Yeah but not like this....

  • @GHmonsta302,I would,fuck em!

  • @IMMORTALSicenunow ooooook

  • @IMMORTALSicenunow what???

  • Why is there a box over his head

  • @PedloProductions because his face has been blown away and it would be disgusting for the nurses ...

  • @PedloProductions Read the book.

  • I would much rather be dead than joe

  • @CherrieBomb1993 Be prepared, I found both to be quite traumatic. I must say tho, IMO this is the only film I've seen that is better than the book it's based on.

  • @CherrieBomb1993 Makes you think what could the world be if EVERYONE was forced to read the book and see the film doesn't it? I read the book in English Lit in 1972 and saw the film a few years later, ever since I don't complain about things I can't change but try to help change the things I can.

  • weapons profits- plus depopulation of young male deer by old male deer

  • im confused at this is he able to talk? or is it him just narrating?

  • @welcomeToUrMooseyFat You are hearing his thoughts (Timothy Bottoms is the actor).

  • @welcomeToUrMooseyFat its his mind. hes speaking to himself.

  • Results of war which are not displayed at the moment of enlisting.

  • This film and The Green Mile are the only two films i have actually ever cired in, well by which i mean i shed a man tear.

  • Comment removed

  • I wish he actually died in the end... some how it was far more depressing seeing him live.

  • i thought he couldnt smell - he's talking about smellling leaves in autumn

  • @balancedesign2010

    He was probably just "talking" about the seasons, knowing about when the smell of burning leaves is in the air. I don't really know, just a guess.

  • this made me cry...!

  • @FlauschviechXL me too, the only movie that ever made me cry was this one. Truly touching

  • How does he breath?

  • @Cioppa182 face was blown off, just a hole... breathing tube

  • Any person that watches this whole movie and doesn't cry even a little, is dead inside and should question if they are even human with a soul anymore.

  • @ShadowArtist eeeeem,no

  • @ShadowArtist wow lmao that's harsh... maybe they just aren't the crying type, ever thought of that?

  • That's beautiful!

  • they should m re-make this movie

  • That's the irony about war:

    You either die when you want to live, or you live when you want to die.

  • Sad ass fucking movie. But its really great

  • Such a horrifying state. About as close as you can get to Hell on Earth.

  • i couldn't imagine being poor johnny....watching this would make anyone who is alive appreciate how incredibly lucky they are to be able to not be trapped in your own mind

  • A friend of mine slipped into a coma 3 mos. ago,,, well, not a coma...he was paralized from a stroke and couldnt communicate in any way. He could hear the drs. discussing how they didnt think he was gonna make it. After about a month, he was able to blink his eyes and they realized he was coherent. He's having to learn to walk and talk all over again... It's strange, his mind and memory are crystal clear...

  • that movie and this video is really deep

  • is this movie/ book based on a real story????

  • @theblackbull55 maybe a lot of storys

  • merry christmas

  • if i were the soldier that found him i would of shot him

  • This movie is about the horrors of war ,euthanasia,the right things to do in life and to never forget all those poor boys that lived and died a horrible death in wet rat ridden trenches for no reason other than demoracy!

  • This is now released in the UK on DVD

  • The only thing i find wrong with this plot is that, if they were getting shelled, or under fire. And someone saw him lose his face and limbs in an explosion, they would think "Fuck that, hes dead!" instead of check his pulse.

  • hahah wtf?

    hes probably jiggling around huh

  • I wan´t do watch this movie soo bad

  • This is now released today (26 March 2010) in the UK

  • they should remake this movie but just so more people can see it :P

    If they do remake it, I wouldnt like to see his face, the mask makes it more misterious and truly lets your imagination run wild and it's more disturbing.

  • please download the entire movie!! (in parts of course) i really wanna watch this soooo bad!!!

  • how could you say such things... that shows how simple minded you are and you should be ashamed for yourselves!! This is an opportunity to see how lucky you are in this fucking life and also you should not take for granted even the fact that you can communicate with others...

  • @rustyinpeace Dude exactly! this film makes me happy to be how i am, sometime in the middle of the vid i move my legs and arms. and say a word.

  • @rustyinpeace exactly u shuld respect the life u fuking u hav being able 2 do wat u do

  • hennayboof: I saw it for the first time the other night. Guess you haven't seen it yourself. There is a scene where this nurse masturbates him.

  • @meego1234 Are you trying to be funny? I don't sense any humor in this film. Quite the contrary actually.

  • @drzfynest65 I wasn't trying to be funny at all. Did you bother to read the comment from the person I was responding to? If you did then you saw that I was answering a question they had posted and was just stating a fact of the movie. If you didn't then you are making comments without having all the facts. Either way you are making snide remarks for no good reason.

  • @meego1234 I've seen the film. What scene does the nurse do what you say she did? Is there a "clean version" of the film or something? Because I must have seen that one; I don't recall the nurse doing such things

  • @drzfynest65 Saw it for the first time in December 2009 on TCM. The scene isn't explicit and it's not readily evident what she is doing. I believe some viewers wouldn't necessarily realize what was being portrayed. It's been 7 months since I saw it but remember she puts her hand under the sheet. The camera cuts to his head and you can tell he's having an orgasm. There's always the possibility I'm mistaken concerning what I was seeing but I don't believe so. If I am I'll take my lumps.

  • i wonder if he has a penis

  • He does.

  • woow so sad

  • One of, if not THE best anti-war movie ever made.

  • It was book made into a movie I think the book was better than the movie though but both of them are good.

  • He started to kick out with his feet to move what was under his legs. He only started because he didn't have any legs to kick with. Somewhere just below his hip joints they had cut both of his legs off.

    No legs.

    No more running walking crawling if you have no legs. No more working.

    No legs you see.

    Never again to wiggle your toes. What a hell of a thing what a wonderful beautiful thing to wiggle your toes.

    No no.

  • If they remade this movie for today's world and GCIed the face, and showed what he looked like, i think it would be extremely graphic. And also the showed the Artillery shell explosion.

  • He had the mask on because he had it on in the book, Also his face was pretty much removed from the artillery shell

  • because he has no face thats y he has a mask

  • why is he wearing that mask

  • he isnt meant to have a face anymore and they probably didnt have the budget or the effects or whatever you get the idea

  • he have no nose,ears,teeths,thounge and eyes

  • so this is what inspired metallica's one

  • This film is terrifying.

  • I'll never forget when Johnny "felt" the sun, and the screen turned in colors from black and white...

  • Just got the book yesterday its good so far

  • O.o he can not seen he can not hear and can not hear dont have legs and dont have arm

    o fuck that shit is °fucked up

  • What happened to the guy in hospital bed?

    sounds really sad =(

  • he got blown up by a landmine

  • Ah! ok

    Thanks for telling me

  • he got blown my a land mine loosing his arms legs ears nose teeth tunge mouth ( speech ) and in fact all his face.

  • i thought it was a mortar

  • he cant be talking if he lost his tongue :S

  • @darren88ful that's his thoughts.

  • @darren88ful it's an internal monologue. All of his dialogue are his thoughts.

  • it was a mortar shell that hit him

  • ooooh ok.the first time i watch the metallica video.

    i was confuzzled and shit"!but now since i watched the movie

    i get it now?

  • It WASNT A FREAKING LANDMINE!!! IT WAS A MORTAR!!

  • lols funny init ahhhh bang now ur fucked

  • Exactly how is that funny? Imagine being in this position: The year is 1915 (let's just say) and you're in over your head in mud. You live in a ditch that runs for miles to the left and right of you and you're always standing in water. Everyday, you're getting rained on with bullets from the Germans and mortars. Let's not forget the dead bodies already in the trench, being fed on by big, fat black rats that aren't afraid of you. Imagine being like that then tell me if that's funny or not.

  • You need to get your head checked son.

    If you said you wanted to fight for your country (patriotism) then that's a more acceptable reason.

  • ok.. yh i would like to fight for my country..when im older i probs will

  • WWI was so pointless the US could have joined either side and it wouldn't have mattered

  • it did really.

    i could go into detail

  • dude imagine not being able to scream for help ur ignored. u cant see. its horrible and for the rest of your life. not so funny

  • People think it was a landmind because of the Metallica Song ONE.

  • Very touching. He's happy yet he seems to have had everything taken away from him.. Though I guess the point is to say that everything still has a soul?

  • You only saw a snippet of the movie, not to mention haven't read the book. Throughout the entire movie virtually, Joe (that's his name) is going through insanity.

  • Sad :(

  • How can ypu guys compare the Iraqui war to WW1? WW1 was savage and cruel. Dlaton Trumbo, the author of Johhny Got His Gun, knew the kinds of consequences war brought. Like in the very last chapter of the book, where he speaks of war. His words hit directly to my mind, and know I'm more knowledgeable of war and it's path of pain and destruction.

  • whats that thing on his head??

  • He was hit by a mortal shell and had all of his arms and legs amputated. His eyes, ears, mouth, were all blown off. Hes still alive and the mask covers any open wounds and such.

  • eek! im this sonicyouth3s sis!

  • War is cruel, but no religion likes war unless it's like Satanic worship or some weird thing like that. War must go on in the world, unfortunately. Why? Because world peace is impossible. Greed, low resources, or judgment will always drive countries against eachother. Eliminating crime is impossible without ruining lives of the innocent as well. The world sucks in some ways.

  • awwe

  • Oh just shut the fuck up...if it's gonna be remade let it be remade so people who never heard of it can watch it. God...

  • Heartbreaking scene, never forgotten in it--done better in the book though

  • To be honest there's not really a right or wrong answer, I personally think if the person can communicate if they want to be killed then yes they should be, I know he may not have a quality of life but it's too hard to say what's right and wrong for this. I do think if you was in the state Johnny is i'd think it'd be worse than death.

  • he didn't choose man

  • im not christian catholic or jewsih im hindu and its like those religians who like starts like war and all those type of sutff u kno i dont want tht in the world

  • We R waiting for a world without religion! No moslims killing jews! No christans start war of religion! No...!

  • YEAH!!! ATHEISM!!! fuck wars!

  • even if you had no religion, therell still be war. people will fight over anything

  • that is very true, however, without religon there would be much less wars

  • "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." - Weinberg

    "At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols." - Huxley

  • Can you believe that there are actually people in this world that would refuse to kill this man because it would be against their religion?  Religion is PURE EVIL. We need to destroy it...please for the sake of mankind do away with it's terrible cursed ways.

  • Agreed :)

  • im a born christian, and i would kill him without a doubt in my mind. yet i dont agree religion is evil.. its the hardcore religist people that do that kind of crap.

    ex, exetreme liberalist, or exetreme conservationist. im in the middle and usually everyone else is. who knows

  • i totally agree man

    its those extreme religious people that do these kind of sick things

  • im not christian jewish or catholic or anything like tht im hindu i totally agree with u

  • I am a Christian. And I'm freakin proud. I find it sad that whenever we say something against athiesm, athiests whine and most of us bend but when athiests say something against us we get mauled if we retort. I'm tired of bending so here's my retort: I WOULD kill this man to end his suffering. My God and Jesus Christ would understand it as mercy and forgive me. Down me if you wish but when God is for me, who can stand against me? No one. This man would be better off dead and in Heaven.

  • Im looking forward to se the remake.. Maybe you can see his face and that all.

  • dude he has no face now. he breathes through his neck

  • I meant, that I guess you can say I wish we weren't so human notthe part of me wanting to cry

  • Sometimes I wish we wern't so human, I guess you can say that makes me wanna cry watching that.

  • we arent just killing innocent people on purpose, those people accidentially come between the crossfire, and ya it sux, but thats war and thats how its always been. and cases of innocent citizens dieng from american soilders is rare, and 10x lower than the number from terrorists.

  • good stats. pull those out of your ass, did ya?

  • I remember reading this book. I feel terrible about how he lost all his limbs, sight, hearing, and his face. War is the most terrible thing. What was very nasty in the story was when the nurse started to play with his manhood sex toy.

  • honestly i would kill him because he was suffering from the war and he was like in hell so dont think im a terrible person

  • Why the hell would anybody think you're terrible for that? Killing a man who has no life is just, and you'd be doing anybody like that a favor.

  • Saddest movie ever

  • truedat

  • over 200,000 innocent women, children, and men were killed by saddamn in his own country, just killing him is worth it.

  • you do know our government supplied saddam with weapons, any college history teacher will tell you the same

  • Yes but they just didn´t killed him, they killed lots of inocent people too, im not saying that Saddam was ok but i just don´t agree with bush

  • and how many have died since. the people of Iraq scream "bring back Saddam! at least it wasn't like this when he was here."

  • Whatever MAN!! War will always be hell.There will newer be ANY good wars.Newer...

  • the book this movie is based on is fiction, im reading it now

  • thats based on truth... wow poor bugga

  • Fucking war

  • yes war sux, but lets think here whats worst, thoasands and thoasands of jews burning and starving to death, or people dieng trying to help save them. either war or no war, people will die

  • Of course people will always die, but die young and kill another young person just because of someone else´s interests; that REALLY sucks.

  • interests.... like maybe burning jews, i just think its worth it to try to help people, war is xtra gay, but its necessary.

  • Its necesary sometimes, but not always; for example i think that last´s Bush invasion was a complete bullshit, he destroyed more than he helped.

  • you have not known war.

  • Marry Christmas :)

  • Young men really do end up like this when they come back from war Even worse sometimes Thats the real tragedy

  • did this really happen is it based on a real story

  • It's based on reality.bummer eh?

  • this made me tear =[

  • to anyone whose seen the film all the way through, does it start with him in the bed wondering what's happened to him, or when he gets hit with the bombshell?

  • It starts with him being wheeled into a hospital on a gurney, with a sheet over him, the doctors talking about what happened.

  • Think this movie should be released in the USA ?

    Sign this petion!

    Go to my page to get the link !

  • Where can i get this movie ?OMG is so fucking amazing

  • If you live in the USA you unfortunelty can't get it,but look up metallica's song "One".Then you you really feel the power of this movie !

  • Yes I already know that, the best song to show it .

  • there a girl who lived not too far away from me.. she was 19, she was in a coma and no one knew if she was gonna get out of it. But then her boyfriend told them to pull the plug cuz he had the right.. so things may not happen exactly like this a lot, but other things do

  • Omg that was the emotinal movie I have ever seen that wass awesome !

  • Scary movie. Starts off as a nightmare, and ends a nightmare. A true war crime was that they did not let him die.

    I read the book in 10th grade AP english, and it has stuck with me to this day. Powerful.

  • If given the choice between life or death, in his case, it would be better to die. Because life would be hell, and at least death would be a better chance of living, in my opinion anyways. (Yeah, this movie hella scared me.)

  • This movie does scare me, but I come to believe it. I wouldn't want to live like that, but it really would make me feel good to at least be alive, and give me a better sence of why God kept me alive.

  • i would kill the guy cause he is suffering so much from the damn fuckin war! I hate war but the movie is really good tho novel is better tho!

  • this is why when if i am ever put on a machine i want to die.

  • if i was that nurse i wud have killed him. i wudnt care what they did to me

  • This movie scares me! I would rather die than live like that!

  • Fantastic. Where can one buy the original on the net????

  • i want to know the end of the movie, did they kill him? or keep him alive?

  • I believe in the book he asks to either be allowed to die or to be let out into public to show what the war has done to him. The answer is something like "That would not be proper" and he's just left. Not allowed to die.

  • I heard about this movie sime days ago because we are currently studying about the World Wars in history class.

    I'll be very curious to see this movie, because I'm always complaining abt my life and my little problems, like many people do. And I think Johnny's fate could be a good lessons for all of us.

    Terrible wars...

  • it was a book before the movie

  • Face? what face? did u ever read the novel? his face is blown off dude...

  • i think she means the front of his head

  • Do u eva c da guys face? I need tis film NOW! Da bit at da end was a bit random.

  • look up metallica - One, great song about this movie

  • Jesus...Makes you appreciate life and sense it really does :(

  • It is creepy..gosh it is!

    But..makes sense-hope it gets people to start thinking and maybe they'll realize that war is something they should avoid if possible...or they might get f*** up like Joe :(

  • The book this movie was based on, is amazing

  • This is a great movie...but it still rings true today.:(
