Movie Reviews of Born on the Fourth of July
Movie Review: Amazing Performance by Tom Cruise
Summary: 3 Stars
I avoided this movie until now, because I do not need to relive the Vietnam War and its associated tragedies. But, I had always heard how good Tom Cruise was in this role, and now I know it is true. His performance is truly amazing. In the Special Features the man, whose real life the movie is based on, said a few times he would see Tom with the long hair and in the wheelchair, and think he was looking at some time-travel mirror of his younger life.
I hated this movie, because it brought back sad memories, but Tom Cruise's performance and the movie should be seen by everyone at least one time. It shows how deep a person can sink, and still learn to swim in a new way and revive his life and become successful with it.
It's a hard movie to watch, but see it anyway, because it is a story worth your time.
