Both the book and the movie made me take one of the most important decisions on my life: Stuying Social Sciences... And I will never regret 'bout it... So thanks a lot Dalton Trumbo... I'll always be in debt with you...
The person who wrote this book was a communist Jew. Surprise, surprise, when world war 2 broke out he withdrew the book because he feared it would convince Americans not to support the war against Germany. Some people even wrote him about being opposed American involvement and he responded by giving them up to the FBI. The writer is just against some wars, when they don't benefit him.
um no johnny got his gun is based not about the last man but actually he was the first man to die in that war after he lost his arms legs mouth ears eyes and was basically a living head with a torso and died in the hospital after using his head as morse code telling the doctors to kill him and they did eventually and was the first dead man in that war and the leaders saw the demise and ended that war because of it
I read a preamble from Trumbo when the book was reissued in 1971. The original publication was in 1939. Not the best of timing with WW-2 about to start. But it was read by many on the left and even the hardcore isolationists on the right. Trumbo was surprised how many G.I.'s from WW-2 actually had a copy of it with them during their time in the war.
let men play war overseas or at home in bars or against their wife/kids- but women join in their OWN territories-womens nations-protect themselves & children from overpopulation, war & marital rape- 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?
What a great movie. Best movie I have ever seen. So imaginative, yet, so real. Love the scenes with jason robards and his son. You must see the movie. I am looking forward to reading the book. Jason robards definitely narrated the trailer...
I read the bloody book. The film obviously cannot truly capture the Horror of what Trumbo tried to portray. In the book you get INSIDE the mind of the mutilated man and experience what it is like to be in his position.
I think the movie is great so long as it spurs people on to read the book. The movie on its own in not enough.
@1989warren I though the same exact thing as I was watching the trailer. And I think this day in age when we, as a world for the most part, have become desensitized to the horrors of war, could certainly use a wake up call.
that isnt what its bout, its bout this guy who got partly blown up in ww1 but survived and lost his hearing, speech, sight, and muscle movement but the army keeps him alive for testing so the poor man is trapped to only his thoughts..sad..
@metlguitar02 did u even read the book? Joe was trying to communicate with the outside world and when they saw him tapping they just drugged him and didnt even bother to see what he was doing. And don't go flamin me cuz its what my English teacher said
Yes it was banned because of it’s anti-war content during the Vietnam conflict if I remember correctly that was why it was heavily cited by protesters . Trumbo was blacklisted and nearly sent to jail or ‘Un-American behaviour.'
@ninjaswimmer0130 No the book was banned back during the Vietnam War the film wasn't banned but is very unknown and underground. It is easily available but I have no idea if the government will try to blacklist the film in the near future though I wouldn't t be surprised. It might bother some people due to the conflict we are in though. Don't expect it to be on TV anytime soon it is one of those films never shown just like 1984.
@altoids79762 Because the novel was banned by the US government , for for its anti war message, I think it was banned during the Vietnam war, the author was even blacklisted for being un-American. that is why I said it was banned because it was.
@altoids79762 You can't post links so I will PM to you. there is no need to act like a cunt because i knew this book was banned and you didn’t i hope this is good enough for you antagonistic little prick. Also it is you talking out of you ass not me.
@musicxplaylist123 Yes it was banned years ago for it's blatant ant--war anti-government message. But is now readily available just like Lolita or Lady Chatterley's Lover. I am glad they are teaching it in schools as it is a fantastic book.
@EndlessLaymon hate to kick you off your high horse but the american government doesn't ban books. and this novel is actually required reading in many high schools, and colleges.
@Dodgemanthe Yes governments do ban books. Even America. JGHG was highly controversial when FIRST published and was banned and challenged I think during the time of Vietnam. The book may be required reading in some schools now l but doesn’t change the fact that it was banned
@Dodgemanthe Even the author asked for it not to be republished during WW11 if I remember because of how much shit it was stirring up, hell even the author was put on trial for un-American behavior because of the novel and its strong antiwar message.
Peace.
PS: The say that the American government doesn’t ban books is highly ignorant. Just do some research.
The book portraits the pride & honor from the generals, had nothing to do with modern war. Explains it was a war between cousins of Europes monarchy. After WWII pacifism was attacked by US because all wars are the same: politics propaganda & death: you cant see democracy or freedom, so you cant fight for it, if the politician ask your life, give him a rifle and follow him to battlefield.

Yes, he wanted to be shown so people could see the effects of war. I have studied that fucking book like the Bible.
It is anti-war that is why it was banned by the American government.
