Description

Joe, a young American soldier, is hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. He lies in a hospital bed in a fate worse than death --- 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 and memories, unable to distinguish whether he is awake or dreaming. He remains frustrated by his situation, until one day when Joe discovers a unique way to communicate with his caregivers. Written by Anonymous



I remember experiencing this movie in my teens in the 70's. It overwhelmed me emotionally as a first person account of the horrors of war from the perspective of a quadriplegic WW1 soldier with the additional lack of eyes, ears, face and mouth with which to communicate, but sadly, with a functioning brain in tact. Imagine a man entombed within what is left of his own body.....that is the core of this anti-war film. In a series of flashbacks we learn the war experiences led up to his present state of helplessness, his day to day physical sense of time passing slowly in the hospital and of his attempts to communicate with his caretaker nurse. When a critical breakthrough occurs and the female nurse takes pity on his plight, she is prevented from helping him to find release from his agony. His agony becomes ours in the end. A truly remarkable perspective on the horrors of war, in a film written and directed by Dalton Trumbo, a member of the ten most unjustly alienated writers in Hollywood during the blacklisting era of the 1940's. Written by Clay

=========================================================================

Se llama "Johnny got his gun", y trata sobre un joven soldado de la Primera Guerra Mundial que se encuentra en un hospital, ciego, sordomudo y con las piernas y los brazos amputados a causa de una explosión sucedida durante un bombardeo, con la imposibilidad de cominucarse con el mundo que le rodea, sintiendo esa desesperación de estar solo y que nadie te puede ayudar.. quedar preso de tu propio cuerpo. Una situación totalmente horrible.



Más que una brutal y desasosegante novela antibelicista, también trata de una contundente apología de la eutanasia.

El propio escritor que no recuerdo su nombre, ahí en la imágen dice xD.. creo que se apellida Trumbo O: nos empuja hasta el borde del precipicio de la vida, nos agota la mente hasta la extenuación, nos hace sacar nuestros sentimientos más escondidos.. una de las novelas que más me han gustado :(

y desgraciadamente la tuve que leer en internet.. ya que no la encontré en ninguna librieria :(



No apta para corazones sensibles :SSporcierto.. la canción de ONE de Metallica, está basada en esta novela.. es una de las razones por las que me gusta tanto esa canción w.w, es de mis favoritas O:
