The Vietnam War and the 1960's: The Stoned Version

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2002)

"Born on the 4th of July" has been scorned by hawkish right wing nuts who still believe we "did the right thing" in that small South East Asian country all those years ago. This is because the events in this film are seen from a leftist perspective. Oliver Stone is a well known left wing liberal nut. In the Good Old Days, he would have had to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Commission and Good Old Senator Joe Mcarthy would have labelled him a no-good dirty low-down stinking milk drinking Communist. So if you are a right wing nut, avoid this movie. If you think the military could have won that war if all those no-good stinking Democrats had LET THEM WIN, don't watch this film.
