One of the Most Beautiful and Painful of the Vietnam movies

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2014)

BEFORE READING: I'M NOT SPOILING, EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MOVIE IN THE REVIEW IS WHAT YOU CAN READ AT THE SYNOPSIS.
They are very chosen words to describe Vietnam movies, but Tom Cruise invented one more, "Beautiful". This movie is for real, real, is very cruel and happy in it's beginning, with achievements and fails too, but his decision to fight for his country absolutely changed his life. and after his failure and lost, he starts a life he would never thought he would have.
The starring and work of Cruise is crucial, amazing, I can't get another actor actor would make this movie better, he's the indicated for it. The most beautiful thing about it, is that is about a True Story, so, everything (or at least the most) of the things that appears in this movie are from the story of the veteran of the Vietnam war Ron Kovic.
The reference of what the Vietnam War was in this film is complete, or at least what appears. Oliver Stone has an incredible view for politic and war movies, especially when it comes to pain and reality, and this film has both, so it makes the film, in few words, "Shocking and Wonderful"
AND... In conclusion, it is one of the best works of Oliver Stone and one of the most surprising about Vietnam, but not really comparing with others, it's just, Beautiful, and YES, I'm completely recommending it.
