the foreshadowing in this is amazing... he says he's going to be unusual, and when his father asks for him to put his arms around him, he says he can't
"Well, I guess it always comes down to that. Each man faces death by himself... Alone." Honestly this is one the most frightening lines I've ever heard. It's delivered so flawlessly, its so ominous and frighteningly true.
Well it’s not really the past it’s more that its he’s dreaming of the past. Like when his Dad says to hug him back he can’t because he no longer has the arms in real life to hug him, and in at least my own experience trying to use your arms or hands in a dream is a bit hard to do.
His Dad probably never said he loved his fishing pole more than his son (I mean that’s a pretty terrible thing to say to your son) but he probably thought he did because of how much time he spent on it. That’s why this whole conversation seems so esoteric and surreal it’s a fictional dream with elements of truth added in by his brain.
The reason for that is cause the movie itself is horrific Way too greusome to show in colour on tv. Which is why only the scenes in the past, which are peaceful( somewhat) can be shown in colour
if you see a movie that will make a grown man blub apart from this i havent seen it........most heart wrenching and awful film i have ever seen bar none..........but this should be required viewing the world would be a better place
This guy with his fishing pole is like some people today with their car, lol. Putting all your pride and personal value into an object, even over the good of others... a sad but often true commentary, even today.
Very true, the movie portrays him differently than the book, because in the book he actually lets his son use the rod. He always went camping with his father and they fished, but one day when Joe got older he wanted to go with his friend instead, but he only had one pole. His father let him use his pole so Joe and his friend would both have one. Joe loses it in the water and when he tells his father he isn't upset, he just enjoys what time he has left with his son, because he knows Joe would rather fish with his friends than with him, which meant that would be the last time they went camping together. His father worked hard to provide for his family, and the rod was the only nice thing he had, so he did take great pleasure in it, but his family meant more to him.
@@williamjones5005 This is the same in the movie. He lets his son use his rod later in the movie, and the son looses it. The man who wrote the book actually directed the movie.
It's an interesting comment on individualism. All things considered he is doing well for himself; he is able to support himself and his family (something less taken for granted then than now), yet still feels empty at the thought that he has nothing to seperate or distinguish himself from his peers. He seems to believe that fishing pole is the closest he'll ever get. It's not the pole itself he values and takes pride in, it's that feeling of individualism it brings him.
This scene is a very accurate and sad commentary (even today) on the way men (people) view themselves and their understanding of what is actually being done to them and with them. Most people today still don't even know what democracy is or means and that it has nothing to do with freedom, nor do they understand or realize that they've been morally and socially blackmailed into believing that they are property of a small group of people who only wish to promote and secure their own power and prosperity. This character doesn't even realize that he has any value or anything of value except for or without some wooden pole, this alone in itself is very pitiful.
I did it exact the opposite: I gave them all of my money, all of my love, during 32 years. I never put things before the good of others... I almost end dead: tiny, with no money, no one gave me neither a penny... I'm still alive, and this year, I will have my 33rd anniversary. So, I really waiting to see the God's (My Father) grace and magnificence. P. S.: My dad had gone the last year, june 22
This film and novel really tapped into a side of the human mind I've never felt before. The idea that people put so much of their value in objects and pointless things in order to combat their stuggle for idenity of their own even over their family and so the their family looks to gain ways of making them proud so they can be identified as something of value to their father or mother.
Only a man who has sat with his father knows that he loves his son from a deep ancestral place he'd give his son to the war party and his son said no and father had the heart to tell him its OK to not die for democracy
"Got something to do with young men killing each other...the old men are needed to keep the home fires burning." Fun commentary was provided by Frank Herbert in his Dune series; he envisioned a futuristic scenario where an all powerful being replaces all the armies in the universe with an army made up entirely of women-with his motivation being that warfare was really a form of sexual competition, since it was always a matter of older men sending the young, virile men off to die while they stayed behind with all the women.
I heard speculation that witch trials throughout history were the gender switched version of this: The old women/matrons manipulated the men into killing all of the young sexually competitive women.
Also the reason why Leto switched to female soldiers is because the idea is that the male armies needing to spread out excess men necessitates a kind of entropy: where there is always new resources to consume, essentially foreign women to rape. With women as soldiers it presupposes a military/war to end all wars, because the security force acts to preserve the golden ages as opposed to sending surplus men at foreign assets; doomed to turn on their own empire due to intertia.
Actually yes and no. Some parts of the dream are his real memory. The talk about Democracy that part was real, but the part where he asked Joe to Hug him and the part where he mentions about every man facing death on their own, that was dream. This was in the beginning of the moments where his dreams and memories were beginning to mash together.
@@Shanethefilmmaker I think its a psychological representation of active memory rebuilding. Memories aren't perfect and he ad-libs sequences of the memory. I don't think his father would have said "something about young men killing eachother". Its about Joes interpretation of what democracy is through memories of his father.
*Head banging intensifies* LANDMINES HAVE TAKEN MY SIGHT, TAKEN MY SPEECH, TAKEN MY HERING, TAKEN MY ARMS, TAKEN MY LEGS, LEAVING ME WITH LIFE IN HELLLLLLLLLLAAA
Mhm, the title "Johnny Got His Gun" is a play on the slogan and song "Johnny Get Your Gun" in the Civil War as propaganda to get people to enlist in the war. Hence Joe enlisting to fight in the first world war and the subsequent tragedy that unfolds
When i watched this many years un the past i didn’t understand what does the man mean, and i really tried to understand it, i just rewatched the movie and at this part, i was like, poor man how you being like you do at that time..

I like how the past is in color and the present is in black and white
Well it’s not really the past it’s more that its he’s dreaming of the past. Like when his Dad says to hug him back he can’t because he no longer has the arms in real life to hug him, and in at least my own experience trying to use your arms or hands in a dream is a bit hard to do.
