Born on the Fourth of July

Oliver Stone takes his peculiar look at Vietnam. Great.

A beautiful film about war, about the consequences it leaves on a pearson who has got into it, pushed by an unconscious maternal pressure that the one who is worthwhile is the one who does something in life that is worthwhile and if you are nobody, by faith, and by the ideas they sell of patriotism and fighting against the enemy and for the country, and, once back, the internal contradiction of what you firmly believed in, for what you have fought and what you have been willing to give your life for, it may not be true, you stop believing in it, the confrontation with that situation and not knowing what to believe in, being aimless, the inner contradiction is also shown externally, in that, those who at first idolized him, then treated him like scum, very good film about uncertainty and about war and what this means.
