 This movie says a lot about the time period it was made. It was made close enough to the war that almost every adult watching had been alive during it, and had a personal frame of reference for it. I think the late 80s/early 90s was a big period of change and recognition for vets, and I think this movie is a prime example of this change within society. -Michaela Fontenot
-I think that this film shows the memory and impacts of the people who experienced the Vietnam War. This film was made about 15 years post-Vietnam War when the thoughts around it had changed and settled. It being an anti-war film is not surprising, as many people in the United States thought there was no place for us in that war. By showing the atrocities of the war and the horrible things veterans experienced upon their return, //Born on the Fourth of July// captures the sentiments of the US people at the time.
