Should I watch Born on the Fourth of July?
Always heard about this film but never had the chance or the will to watch it, is it worth it especially as its a true story.
One question the real guy was only a teenager when all this happened right so did tome cruise get away with it playing one? I think ron kovic was only 19/20.

I think the film spanned the five- or ten-year period, though? I'm not too sure, to be honest. If anything, it's a typical Oliver Stone film. Worth seeing for the sake of a film experience. I should re-watch it to see if it can pass the test of time.
The first and best one is 'Platoon' , then '4th July' and then 'Heaven and Earth'. It's a good performance by Cruise who doesn't stretch himself much dramatically these days.
Oliver Stone got into movies partly as a result of his experiences in Vietnam Stone was there which provides some degree of authenticity to the movies.
Heard it is supposed to be good though, I might watch it one day, I might not. If it interests you watch it, if it doesn't why bother.
that there is some good advice
Apart from anything else it's got to be worth watching it just for Cruise shouting at his mother "Big f&*^%^ng erect penis Ma!"
