BORN ON FOURTH OF JULY (CUA VIET RIVER, VIETNAM) SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1968

Born on the Fourth of July is a 1989 film adaptation of the best selling autobiography of the same name by Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic. Tom Cruise plays Kovic, in a performance that earned him his first Academy Award nomination. Oliver Stone (himself a Vietnam veteran) co-wrote the screenplay with Kovic, and also produced and directed the film. Stone wanted to film the movie in Vietnam, but because relations between the United States and Vietnam had not normalized yet and filmed in the Philippines.
