A young American soldier (Timothy Bottoms) is wounded by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. He lies in a hospital bed as a quadruple amputee who has lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious and able to think, thereby reliving his life through strange dreams, memories and conversations with Jesus (Donald Sutherland), unable to distinguish whether he is awake or dreaming. Dalton Trumbo, author of the famous 1930s antiwar book Johnny Got His Gun wrote and directed this film adaptation. In 1947, he refused to testify before a congressional committee investigating alleged Communist infiltration of the film industry. Blacklisted for nearly a decade, he wrote numerous scripts under pseudonyms including Roman Holiday and Gun Crazy until he was finally credited for his work on Exodus and Spartacus in 1960.

What is the difference between a dream and reality? If we control reality and are able to change it, then we are in reality. However, if the environment controls us and we are unable to change or control reality, we must not be misled: this is not reality, it is a dream! Or a nightmare. But what if the dream becomes reality? Can war and the military ensure that you don't wake up from this reality as presented in the film - not just as a cafe metaphor, but as a portrayal of the fate of an ordinary soldier who volunteered to defend democracy under the guise of permanent peace and with the blessing of God (or the church). But would God really allow this? As an atheist, this question is irrelevant to me (unfortunately for the film's audience interpretation!). Nevertheless, from a formal perspective, the color flashbacks of memories, which increasingly blend with the distorted reality of dreams as the "hospitalization" progresses, and the black and white images of hospital/human reality work excellently.

I don’t know if this is the darkest or most optimistic movie that I have ever seen. The ending left an empty place inside me. What would I do in their shoes? If something like this can happen, does God or someone like him even exist? Why?
