Seeing how I've got a theme going this week with Vietnam era movies, I've got another film that you must see! Born on the Fourth of July is a inspiring movie that has connections to the last film in more than one way! It is another Oliver Stone movie that is about an alienated Vietnam veteran.
Born on the Fourth of July stars Tom Cruise, who plays a young man who serves his country but pays the price. While fighting he losses his ability to walk. As bad as that is he returns home from the war to a generation of protesters and people who alienate him for fighting in the war. This story is about his journey to find justice for those who are fighting but also the journey to find himself. Being born on the 4th of July he always had a patriotic side that led him to fight for his country. That same drive and passion is redirected when he joins several other veterans who are also trying to be heard! It's one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies! Now again this is an Oliver Stone movie so it is at times very strange but the story in itself is unique and original written from personal experiences. Stars 6/10 It is another film with an amazing cast with, Willem Dafoe, John C. McGinley, And Tom Berenger. I highly recommend this movie to people that enjoy older films that progress slowly but have a good story! This film is available on Netflix.
