Detailed item info
Movie description
Set in the years between 1956 and 1976; Produced and released in 1989. One of the best films made about the devastating impact of the Vietnam War on the body politic, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY is superbly executed by director Oliver Stone, who evokes what may be Tom Cruise's best performance as Vietnam vet Ron Kovic. Before the war starts, Kovic is a normal American kid, going to school, hanging out with his friends, and bagging groceries for pocket money. But as the Vietnam conflict begins to impact the lives of everyone around him, the patriotic teenager decides to enlist. Although his father (Raymond J. Berry) is not happy with his decision, his mother (Caroline Kava) could hardly be more enthusiastic. Once in combat, Kovic becomes disillusioned with his commanding officer (John Getz) who dismisses the fact that Kovic accidentally shot one of their own men in combat. Shortly thereafter, Kovic is paralyzed from the chest down by a bullet in the spine. He must begin a lengthy and excruciatingly painful rehabilitation, which includes a period in the shockingly negligent Bronx Veteran's Hospital. He finally returns to his hometown, now a confused, embittered, and alienated man. His family is also unsettled, unsure about how to deal with this very changed person. After a dissipated spree with other disabled vets like Charlie (Willem Dafoe), Kovic begins talking to antiwar activists like Donna (Kyra Sedgwick) and starts to reevaluate his thinking. In sum, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY is a deeply moving true account of the effects of war on its survivors.

Other Common Questions And Other Faqs

I Live  Canada but have a US address. Can you allow me to bid?

You must be registered in the US in order to bid on my auctions.  I cannot remove this restriction without opening up all of my auctions to Non US bidders. 

Do you accept any other payment methods aside from Paypal?

No,  Due to Ebay's new rules, I can only accept Electronic forms of payment

I just made my payment.  Can you leave me feedback?

Yes,  I use an automated feedback system.  Feedback is usually left within a couple of days after I have shipped the item. 

I entered the delivery confirmation number.  Where is my item?

The delivery confirmation number is not a true tracking number.  The US Postal Service does not track consistently.  For some packages, they show every stop the package made, while on others they don't show everything until it is delivered.  Also, they only update their system once a night.  I usually send out the delivery confirmation number before it shows up in their system. 

I live close by.  Can I pick up my item?

Unfortunately, it is a hassle for me to do this.  I have to set up an appointment and wait for someone to come over.  It is not worth the effort on my part. I don't want to turn my house into a store. 

Can you sell me this item now for $100?

No.  I am not interested in bartering or ending my auctions early.  It is a violation of EBAY rules to end an auction early and sell directly to someone.  If you are interested in this item,  you must OUTBID the other bidders for it.

This is a present for a loved one.  Can you mail it to a different address?

Yes.  I will mail most packages to any address that you want as long as it is a US address

This is a present.  Can you get it to me by a certain date?
