Title: Born of the Fourth of July
Year: 1989
Director: Oliver Stone
Cast: Tom Cruise, Raymond J. Barry, Willem Dafoe
Rated: R
My Review: Oliver Stone loves his symbolism and tries to be known as an artistic director, but when he does it, it seems so obvious and out of place. Tom Cruise does a great job playing the tortured soul. The movie doesn't do a good job showing Tom Cruise's decision to become an activist, it seems to just happen, as if they were running short on time. But it does a good job portraying the post-dramatic stress disorder of returned veterans. 5 out of 10.
