Born on the Fourth of July
Does anyone else find it funny that Tom Cruise, whose birthday is the third of July, starred in a film called Born on the Fourth of July? No? Just me then.
Olive Stone is one of those film makers that I don't really get.
I'm not that much of a Platoon fan, nor can I say I have any affiliation with Wall Street.
Natural Born Killers has it's moments, and I can't remember a single scene of Any Given Sunday, though I saw it less than 2 years ago.
Other than that, I haven't seen anything he's made, though my hopes are up for JFK, whenever I eventually get around to seeing it.
Born on the Fourth of July seems like a typical Stone movie, in that it comes deeply ingrained with a message (war is hell and will mess you up),
and though at first glance it may seem patriotic, if you look a little deeper it's really a chance for Stone to voice his own personal feelings about his country.
