1. I agree with the review by Josh Larson because the film does show a personal change in Ron Kovic as he goes through the war and also presents a political statement on how the Vietnam war was poorly handled by the government. The subtones of the film that Larson mentions reflect the change in the public view of the war‚ when Kovic was young‚ most people were supportive and energetic‚ like his mother.
