Leave your thoughts about Johnny Got His Gun.
| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniJohnny Got His Gun, Dalton Trumbo's 30-year-old novel, is a milestone in anti-war literature. His movie version, however, is less a milestone than it is a fumbling attempt at getting the same impact on film. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTrumbo has taken the most difficult sort of material -- the story of a soldier who lost his arms, his legs, and most of his face in a World War I shell burst -- and handled it, strange to say, in a way that's not so much anti-war as pro-life. Perhaps that's why I admire it. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeProblems aside, there's a cumulative power to the material and an idea that's impossible to ignore. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe film, which bears many marks of the Vietnam era, isn’t against any particular war, it’s against war itself. By immersing viewers in the horrors of one man’s suffering, it forces them to consider the implications of sending soldiers out to fight for a cause. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomA heartbreaking anti-war allegory that's a bit slow, yet stills commands your attention. Donald Sutherland as a hippie Jesus is a bit too much, though. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesThe primal power of the story -- a young man trying to find some sense in what's happened to him -- prevails. |
| eFilmCritic.comDan LybargerSadly, time has not made this story any less relevant or potent. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitstrong historical and literate adaptation of a truly remarkable anti-war classic |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDalton Trumbo (member of the Hollywood Ten) sole directing effort is one of the most hauntingly powerful anti-war film made, an experimental work that's effective as realistic portrait of war's damages as well as metaphoric, quasi-religious journey. |
| CinePassionFernando F. Croce[Trumbo's] filmmaking is frugal -- jump-cuts state the passage of time, a languid fade to yellow signifies solar warmth. |
