Thus‚ the film functions as an attempt to get at the heart of the person who preceded the myth. The film is therefore difficult to judge as pure

Born In the U.S.A Bruce Springsteen hides the message he wants to get across by having an upbeat song that repeats “Born in the U.S.A.”. With the rollicking rhythm‚ enthusiastic chorus‚ and patriotic album cover‚ it is easy to think this has more to do with American pride than Vietnam shame.

The actors that were cast for the movie did a very good job; they captured the role of their character‚ and performed consistently. They played the role of their
