[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the plot

Ronkavic was originally a promising officer, but he lost his legs in the Vietnam War. He began to give up on himself and often took it out on his family. After leaving his hometown, he looked at himself and found out how many lives the war had taken, and for whom? Unable to forgive his motherland, he decided to oppose the war and questioned the country that betrayed him.

Langwick liked to fight with his friends in the Woods when he was young. He dreams of becoming a real man one day. 1On July 4th, 956, Lang was riding on his father's shoulder to watch the parade of American Independence Day, which made him very excited. Once, Lang's girlfriend Donna gave him a baseball cap, and Lang won the game with a confident smile on his face.

Growing up, Lang admired and yearned for the president's speech full of war fanaticism, and an impulse of challenge and sacrifice sprouted in his heart. In an interstate wrestling match, Lang fell down and burst into tears. After that, Lang decided to give up the chance to go to college and join the army. In the pain of contradiction, he rushed to the middle school gymnasium in the rain to say goodbye to his lover Donna.

Lang came to the battlefield in Vietnam and witnessed the shooting of Vietnamese civilians by American troops. Desperate, he rushed into the house to save the injured women and babies. In a melee, he accidentally killed his good friend Wilson, but the lieutenant colonel told Lang in pain that it was "each has his own destiny." Since then, LangZhongBing was injured and was taken to RongMin Hospital. He was told that he was paralyzed from the waist down and would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

1969, Lang returned to his hometown. Some people regard him as a patriotic hero, others turn a deaf ear to him, which makes him sad. However, Lang, who is in a wheelchair, still insists on his loyal belief in waging war against the United States.

On the university campus where the anti-war movement began, Lang and Donna met again. Donna, who was shocked and sad, thought that the war was wrong and must be stopped. Lang, who has lost his sexuality, loves Donna deeply. He recalled the past and was full of sadness.

After a bar conflict, Lang finally realized the cruel reality behind the war. Soon, he was sent to a Mexican military sanatorium to recuperate. In the dark brothel, the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Elena, a prostitute, made Lang feel mixed feelings, tears streaming down her face, and her mood was slightly uplifted. However, the nightmare of Vietnam War still appears in his mind from time to time. In order to atone, he went to mourn Wilson's tombstone. In order to stop the war and massacre, Lang finally woke up and joined the anti-war movement.

1972, when a party was held in Miami Beach, Lang and some veterans entered the venue. He made a public anti-war declaration and was kicked out by the secret police. However, Lang, who was widely supported, shook his wheelchair indefatigably, directed the public and rushed forward.

Four years later, when the Democratic National Congress was held in new york, Lang firmly and excitedly stepped onto the podium, recalling the past. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lang stretched out his left hand and made a V-shaped gesture of victory.

Ron Nicoway, the hero, was paralyzed by injury, suffering from physical pain in the hospital and mental torture when he returned to his hometown. The extremely frustrated days made him so decadent and depressed that even the values he supported collapsed.

This film is the second part of Si Tong's Vietnam War trilogy, which tells a true story to people. Luo is an athlete full of patriotic enthusiasm. Despite the opposition of his family, he resolutely joined the US Navy and went to Vietnam to fight. The war life at sea made Luo and his partners confused and confused, and Luo gradually lost himself. Ruthless bullets hit him, and Luo, who was half paralyzed, was sent back to the motherland and spent a nightmare in the Veterans Hospital. After leaving the hospital, he went to Mexico, drinking all day and leading a dissolute life. But the perseverance buried in Luo's heart gradually cheered him up, and finally he was tempered into an active anti-war propagandist through hard struggle.

[Edit this paragraph] Wonderful dialogue

Mrs covic: Don't say penis in this house!

Ron Kovic: Penis! Penis! Fucking erect penis, mom!

-

Ron Kovic: People say if you don't love America, get out. Well, I love America.

-

Ron Kovic: They burned the national flag and demonstrated to us; It is on the cover of today's newspaper. They have no respect. They don't know what's going on over there, mom-those who sacrificed their lives. People die there every day, and no one here even cares. If you ask me, it's a pile of fucking shit!

Ronnie, don't take God's name in vain, not in front of the children. I agree with everything you say!

Ron Kovic: I serve my country-and they just want to take it from me-take it, take it! Love it or leave it, that's what I think.

-

Captain (in Vietnam): (to Ron Kovic) It's not your fault, damn it! They're blocking the road!
