Imagine what it would be like to live the rest of your life without your arms, legs, eyes, teeth, tongue, and not being able to see or hear anything at all. Johnny Got His Gun is a moving and extremely emotional film that you will never forget. It's an emotional journey through one man's life during the first world war who is unable to communicate with anyone after he was barely killed in action. It's not until years later when one nurse has the courage to try and speak to him by writing on his chest with her finger. The scene where she first connects to him by writing "Merry Christmas" on his chest is heartbreaking. The scenes of emotional fantasy are disturbing as well as sensational. Acting is superb and the ending is a perfect example of why "mercy killing" is the right thing to do. A true classic!
