He's what we'd like to call a troll. Just a pest with an uninformed opinion.

@xXSgtWolfXx I thought the combat scenes in this movie accurately depict what combat is like, and I'm a combat veteran. It shows the confusion associated with battle accurately
Plus, everything you see in this movie actually happened. Kovics patrol was jumped by VC's near a village. He got shot in the heel, and started wildly firing back, then was hit in the shoulder, being incapacitated. The helo also went down. The black soldier who rescued him died later that day.

@TheGatorfan93 Was this lifted from your 8th grade research paper?

a stirring movie and so universal to what so many young men must have experienced through centuries of war, to come back mamed, angry and alone. Cruise portrays this quite well; it must be incredibly difficult for people out there today who cannot do the things a lot of us take for granted. The first part where he dances to Moon River with the girl is quite moving and a heart-rending foreshadow of the loneliness he will later feel without a woman of his own and no hope for children, etc.

No wonder he can't hit anything, he's using a fucking M14 on full auto.

I might be facing this in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Another terrible Stone film.Pretty much unwatchable,due to the depressing and ultimately anti-climactic character study he made out of kovic's life.It's like ''jim morrison in nam''.Two and half hour of self-pity,punctuated with a bogus arc.Cruise was actually quite good,maybe the best,and most demanding role.Stone made one decent film,jfk.But when you think about it,most anything concerning the assassination is interesting.On the technical level however,jfk is outstanding,i'll give him that.
