![Ron Kovic (Born On The Fourth Of July) INTERVIEW 1977 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VWVAkM1-Wtk/mqdefault.jpg)
If anyone has doubts about Tom Cruise’s acting abilities think again. It’s one of the most powerful performances I’ve seen. Ex British Army veteran.
i have said this for years . I dont like the guy .He CAN act. This scene proved it to me .
Never doubted Mr Cruise's acting, he's one of the best in the world, hence his success.
Only people who've never acted would doubt his abilities as an actor.
This and his role in Tropic Thunder. He raised the bar in that one!
He may be a messed up dude privately but man can he act.
Ex norwegian chef
Aw they cut out my favorite part, the dad having a better understanding than anyone because he was in war too
This movie is the finest acting of Cruise's career, wish he did more stuff like this, he can act
His small role in Magnolia was amazing
Apparently you never seen Rock of Ages
Kidding.
Nuts isn’t it. He’s spent his first ten years of fame as a legitimate actor, and the last 30 trying to become a stuntman.
Wow, what an epiphany. The biggest movie star of the last 40 years can act.
Agreed, he can act.
Everyday he acts like scientology is a real religion and that it's good.
I think he deserves an Oscar just for his daily performance he calls his personal life.
Cold Truth.
That mustache tho.
It's rad, right?
It's a rather unkempt one. The sign of someone in depression who doesn't give a damn about stuff like that anymore
I can't ever forgive him. But maybe the lord can. 〰️
It was just like the real Ron's stache.
Looks like they used a theater prop for a close-up. I don't believe this movie was nominated for Best Make-up Oscar.
And that's why Tom Cruise is arguably one of the best actors of his or any other generation. An actor who can put out a performance like that and pump out a mega film franchise like mission impossible is incredibly rare in my opinion. The fact he never picked up an Oscar for Born on the 4th of July is a huge injustice
He's essentially the last of the great movie stars. I mean there's Nicholas Cage but that dude will act in any and everything.
Yes, Tom Cruise is a phenomenal actor.
Cage's large amount of movies has alot to do with his split with Francis Ford Coppola's daughter
@@PistonHonda_1987 Huh? Cage is Coppola's nephew. You think he was in a relationship with his cousin? He was not.
@thinkoutsidetheboard my bad, I thought he was,an outsider, married to his daughter
As good as Tom is in this scene. Man, the mother
Went camping with a few guys when we were in our early 20s, heavy drinking at night and one of us decided to try and swim across the lake. We all had a good laugh and told him he was crazy, guy jumped off the dock and went for it. Went under about halfway, I had to call his mom and tell her what happened. She didn't know me very well prior but I met her at his funeral.
I sat down with his father, mother and his sister and told them what happened. I cried when I told them I was to drunk to stop him or try and save him. All of us that night were prairie boys no one knew how to swim well. Except me, I moved in my teens from the coast. I was a white badge, red cross swimmer. Guy had seen me make that same swim multiple times that afternoon.
I'm 100% certain someone involved in the making of this scene has been forgiven by a mother. That actress was flawless.
@@Hierax415I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Tom Cruise gave the performance of his life ! Oscar worthy .
Not a real TC fan but, his portrayal of Ron Kovic was outstanding.
Such nice people he had to tell this to. Heartbreaking.
why wouldn't the wife forgive him? I didn't get it why she looked liked she was enraged when Ron tried explaining it was an accident.
@@EliasAbejo-jy3vy because regardless of being told it was an accident, she is still a widow and her son will never meet their father. It actually may have made it worse knowing that her husband was killed by friendly fire vs at the hands of the "enemy". The Dad in this scene either has been in combat and understands that mistakes can happen, or is trying to spare RK the misery of having to not only re-live this trauma, but he may hear the harsh reality of how his child died.
@@EliasAbejo-jy3vy By saying "but maybe the Lord will" I think was her way of saying that he didn't do a malicious thing, she just doesn't know how to forgive him
Tom should’ve won an Oscar for this role. He’s been nominated three times, but this was his best shot. He was so good in this film.
Not really. While he put in a great performance his was probably 3rd or 4th best that year. Daniel Day Lewis was the clear deserved winner for My Left foot. Morgan Freeman was also amazing in Driving Ms Daisy. Then you had Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society. Stacked year.
IDK he was awesome in Rain Man, A Few Good Men, Trio[ Thunder, Jerry McGuire, Collateral, and Magnolia. I think he definitely should have won for Magnolia.
Out of all his movies, this was his best performance and he definitely deserved to win an Oscar for it.
Dunno mate, Tropic Thunder
And Collateral.
his acting ability is off the F###ing charts
I watched in the theater after returning from Panama and broke down multiple times in tears. Very tough and honest film about the reality of armed military conflicts. Friendly fire is real. War is hell.
I like this Tim Cruise fella. I think he'll go far with his acting if he continues on with it.
was thinkin' much the same. Haven't seen actin like this since the box-office hit "Top Gun" with world renowned A-List actor, and leading solo-man Val Kilmer. If this Tom Cruise guy coulda been in that? What a movie it woulda been...
Dumb.
@@tikemyson1786 Now you got me imagining what could of been in Rain Man with Dustin Hofman and Com Truise. I mean Com Truise wasn't bad in it, but this fella here could've taken it to legendary status.
lol
acting failed, he became a stuntman and insurance companies worst nightmare
Read a story of a veteran who served with Kovic, which is what Tim is based on. Bill's actual father was killed in World War II and the "father" here was in Korea and helped raise Bill, which is how the mother understands Kovic.
Well, a three minute movie clip just brought this grown man to tears.
was thinking the same thing. Welled up for sure on that one.
Me too haha glad wife isnt in the room
The movie itself is extremely sad. It proves that no matter how hard you try and do everything correct, you can still lose everything.
Same. War is devastating. What happens in the fog of war is even worse.
this is definitely a movie that'll make a man weep after watching.
Best performance of Tom Cruise's career.
Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
3
how is your comment older than the video?
Tom Cruise was amazing in this movie. 🔥
indeed it was
He's probably an amazing fuck too ❤
Definitely not his best 😂😂😂😂
@@skateboarder-yr9qg Top Gun Maverick, Collateral and Mission Impossible Fallout may be the best.
@@Julian-p7q-b4t nope
Damn, I completely forgot about Tom's Phenomenal Skill from The Very Beginning!!!
“I can’t forgive you but maybe the lord can” wow what a great delivery. She’s a great underrated actress. I think she was sorta letting him off the hook. Just my read, but the way she ends with “maybe the lord can” just seemed like she was trying to communicate to him that he can be forgiven. I think she saw his much he was carrying this event and was trying to let him know he should let some weight off
She was in a great movie called factotem with Matt Dillon
ua-cam.com/video/U1bECxnMs5g/v-deo.htmlsi=NaAyZl1npJ2FB2-I I made a little music video with her in it
This is the movie where Tom proved he was a great actor.
Born on the fourth of July.
I wish Cruise still did real films like this.
idk i think the last samurai is up there.
@@jeffvincent6690 He just became obsessed with Mission Impossible movies. Vanilla Sky was a favorite of mine.
@@jeffvincent6690 last samurai is possibly one the highest forms of cinema ever to exist
@@jeffvincent6690 Which was more than 20 years ago now.
@@thinkoutsidetheboard ty Capt. Obvious
While I understand the wife being upset to learn her husband wasn't killed by an enemy combatant, I don't get why she said she couldn't forgive Kovic. It's not like he intended to kill her husband, it's war and it happens -- some estimates are that friendly fire deaths were as high as 20 percent of all U.S. deaths in Vietnam. This is one thing I don't like about how we treat veterans in general -- we send these young men who have just become adults, into some of the most horrific places and events you can imagine and then judge them for not acting 100 percent perfectly. Or at least she did. I hate war and have worked with many war victims, and yes soldiers can do horrific coldblooded things that are truly wrong. But this is not one of them.
Thats a pretty common reaction to someone telling you they took a loved ones life. It doesnt mean the person wont process it and realize theres nobody to blame. Except Robert Mcnamara, you can blame him. Vietnam was mostly his fault.
@@Bojangles6 I agree but it also shows me how little a lot of people think of what war IS. Then they get upset when it turns out it's not a game, it's a fairly insane way to solve human problems and yet we seem to just keep going into it again and again to solve our problems. I mean I'm sorry when has she ever been in a confusing firefight?
@@CascadiaCalvert i agree. Im just saying- the average human has not experienced combat and doesnt even begin to comprehend what the experience might be like. In that era, even fewer people who werent vets had any idea what the fog of war is like. She could have reacted the same if he had been a cop shot by his partner in a crossfire.
@@Bojangles6 Fair enough
McNamara was a guy they brought on to help create a factory model for the war effort. There were hundreds of thousands of people who were completely on board with Vietnam( including, you know, the south Vietnamese government 😂)
Una scena del genere non può essere resa meglio di così. Complimenti a tutti, arredatori inclusi.
Man. As a veteran, the eye contact / movements are way too fucking relatable.
This film is a rough watch but the acting by Tom is remarkable and often overlooked.
It's funny how a couple years prior to this he was in a flight school learning from the best of the best, and even enjoying himself playing volleyball with his classmates after class at the beach, and one time he had a fight with his teacher, but eventually made up and they shagged, but one day while training he lost control of his plane, and the plane went into a spinning stall, which forced him and his best friend to eject, but his best friend got into a freak accident when his head hit the canopy as he ejected the air craft, and as his best friend descended into the water, he wasn't moving and was lifeless. This is probably why he accidentally killed this poor family's son in combat. Fifty years had passed, and he got his life back together, and became a teacher in the very same flight school he went to.
😂
....... "connn_se_quencezzzz".....
and he jumped on Oprah's couch
How was this scene not Oscar worthy, it is mystery for ever.
So many good scenes in the movie, when he's drunk ranting at his parents is another good one.
Did you not see the competition that year? While he put in a great performance cruise was probably 3rd or 4th best that year. Daniel Day Lewis was the clear deserved winner for My Left foot. Morgan Freeman was also amazing in Driving Ms Daisy. Then you had Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society.
@@stevenhaas9622 only seen dead poets of those 3, will have to check the other 2 out.
He would have won an Oscar, but 1990 was a stacked year for the best actor category. Kenneth Branagh, Robin Williams (Dead Poets), Daniel Day-Lewis, Morgan Freeman, and Tom Cruise. This was Tom's finest performance imho.
I don't know if I've ever seen Tom Cruise act so well, ever. That was really powerful.
Both of my parents were in the Vietnam War. Both of them. It must have been brutal. You cannot recover from something like this. It's just not possible.
The fact I forgot about his terrible makeup is a testament to his performance.
Lmao
He looks like King Diamond.
😂
😂🤘
No presents for Christmas!
Abbigail?
Lol 😊
they don't make honesty like that anymore
This was from years ago when Tom Cruise used to be an actor. Now he’s an action movie star. We also used to have real films with messages and stories to tell. Now we mainly have comic book movies.
He has several good ones under his belt. Rainman, Vanilla sky, Collateral, The Firm, Interview with the vampire.
@@372HGSjerry Mcguire
I don’t think cruise has the genius to write complex movies , he could act in them amazingly but he just doesn’t have that gift to actually write the movie that’s why he makes mission impossible movies , he has more control with action movies because it doesn’t require a lot of thought to do the acting . He’s still good tho
He should have done more movies like this. Powerful performance.
Thumbnail looks like Man Carrying Thing.
Why I clicked the video at first but man i’m glad I did lol
I was way too young when I first watched this movie. This an a couple of scenes are seared into my memory, rightfully so.
Tom cruise is a fantastic actor in my top 10 favorite/best of all time.
This is one of my favorite performances from Tom Cruise.
"I killed your son"
*Puts on Ray Bans*
"Sometimes you gotta say What The @$%& , make your move"
Ray ban sales go up another 1000%
Risky business killing your own I says.
This is a real anti war movie.
This movie hardly mentioned when people talk about his movies and it is amazing movie and some great acting
Wholeheartedly Agree 💯
As a US Veteran of the Gulf War, i cannot tell you how much this scene touches me. Alot of shit happens out there!!!!
Not all wars are the same POG.
@@JimRPickensNo shit, different conflicts at different times with different equipment.
Imagine iron sights in the jungles of Vietnam vs optics in the deserts of Iraq. Or WW2 storming a beach head with Browning 50 cals shooting over your head from the landing craft.
Lots of troops die from friendly fire.
Friendly fire isn't as common as it used to be, but it still happens.
You call this man a pog just because he was in a different theater of operations than you ? He is a veteran that went where he was ordered.
Apples and oranges. Two completely different conflicts
@@JimRPickens How do you know he was a pog from what he posted? You can see his MOS somehow?
@@RickNethery You mad bro?
That hit my hard. Cruise is a great actor when he wants to be.
Tom Cruise was brilliant in this movie. He can't get any better than this.
I would have kept this to myself. This was more for Mr Kovic than it was for the family of the man he accidentally killed. He wanted to ease his own pain but the family's pain was 1000x worse.
I agree. Why make a horrible situation worse. It’s like telling a grieving husband 8 years down ‘oh by the way, your wife was pregnant when she died’. Some things better left unsaid
I had a situation like this happen where I was the other side of being told what happened. It hurts at first, but I prefer the truth and the truth brings closure in a way that nothing else will. It is a form of kindness that won’t be realized until later on
You are right when you say he did it for himself, but it was also a form of relief for the family. They can have a face to their son's killer, instead of a faceless soldier in another land. Does it make it any easier? Nah, but it does help with understanding. I feel terrible for everyone involved, I can't imagine the immense shame and guilt that he felt here.
On the other hand, some people want the truth no matter how painful.
@@PassengersMusic777 It is not the same as that, their son was in a war and he died, there is always a possibility of death in a war. It would be jarring hearing that your kid died from friendly fire, but this is also a possibility of outcome from war.
How he didn’t win an Oscar for this is a disgrace
I wonder if the father was a WW2 vet
I always figured he was a WW2 vet, he knows what's coming and tells Ron he doesn't have to keep going because he's been to war and knows these things happen. He's not angry, he knows the reality because he's lived it too
He was. He has a line where he says he fought in Guadalcanal
Man, Ethan Hunt is really deep cover on this one.
Cruise should have won an Oscar for this role.
He lost to Daniel Day Lewis for My Left Foot in 1990 who basically transformed into the character of Christy Brown. If Born on the 4th of July was released another year Tom may well have won but he was up against the GOAT at the peak of his talent that particular year at the Oscars.
In his book, Kovic discusses the psychological and emotional aftermath of the war, including his guilt over the friendly fire incident, but there is no account of him visiting the family of the Marine he accidentally killed. source chatgpt
Cruise should have won an Oscar for collateral or this film.
I'm sad that Cruise just focuses on action films now.
When all is said and done, Tom Cruise will go down as the most underrated actor in Hollywood History
Do you even know what the word "underrated" means?
Tom Cruise has been a staple of Hollywood cinema for almost 45 years. Most movies he is in Garner massive audience turnout and box office results.
To call this man underrated is to publicly display your ignorance.
Is this sarcasm?
@@SmokeymcJoint420 yes, you mean spirited fckwit, i mean underrated.
The man's made 50 films, never turned in a bad performance, has turned in some of the best films across the past 40 years; stellar dramatic roles like Charlie Babbitt, Ron Kovic, Frank Mackey, Daniel Kaffee, Lestat, Cole Trickle, Bill Harford, and Vincent the Hitman; stellar comedic roles like Joel Goodsen, Les Grossman, Jerry Maguire; stellar action roles like Maverick Mitchell, Ethan Hunt, Bill Cage,
and he's still raising the bar into his 60s.
all of this to say nothing of his work in The Firm, All the Right Moves, The Color of Money, Minority Report, Cocktail, Valkyrie, American Made, Vanilla Sky or Far and Away; yet he has less acclaim from the Academy of his peers in Hollywood than...oh I don't know; Bradley Cooper or Eddie Redmayne.
My argument was not Tom Cruise is the most unpopular actor
My argument was not Tom Cruise is the most unrecognizable actor
My argument was: when his career is finished, he will go down as the most Underrated Actor in Hollywood History. He has some of the greatest range of any actor, and has been doing it for decades.
Man, that split focus is probably why they lost the Oscar to a movie about an old lady and her driver. lol
Tom should’ve got an Oscar for this role!!!!!🏆
As a veteran, I wouldn't expect to receive any kind of forgiveness if I were to have killed a fellow soldier in combat and then confessed it to the family. I do think that it was a little bit harsh, though, now as a parent, to judge someone who is confessing their guilt to you because they were in the worst situation of their life and didn't act 100% according to the rules. Things like this are why tactics, techniques, and procedures change, but we still get our Pat Tillman incidents that area sad reminder that some things in war don't go to plan.
My uncle was on point when for his platoon when he was killed. A mutual friend of my dad's and his from here back home was back behind him a ways when it happened, and he made it home. My dad had to escort my uncles body from Japan back to Iowa. Dad was in the Air Force, saw some things when he was stationed in SE Asia during Vietnam. He would have night terrors, and call out my uncles name. Fireworks and hearing gunshots during deer season set him off. I know he was in a rocket attack, and was shot at a few times, and another time he ad to assist in a helicopter crash where the crew was trapped inside screamin and burned to death.
The Last Samurai was also an extremely good movie with a great performance from Tom. Not everyone’s type of genre but you’ll appreciate it if you enjoy cinema & have not seen it.
I don't understand the wife though, "I could never forgive you", after the man shows full repentence, seriously?? That's pretty damned unfair.
Welcome to this world man... Lotta that unfairness going on, unfortunately.
Not to mention, it was a complete and utter accident. No intention to kill his comrade. That has to count for something.
It’s a movie.
@@nated9075 Wow really?? It's a movie?? I had no clue! Herp derp!
@@nated9075there’s always some Chad points this out like people aren’t aware of it
This movie makes me so emotional every time I see it. Very heartbreaking.
Don't be such a poooouusssszzzzzzzziiiieeeeeyyyyyyy
Why does he look like the guy from Lon Lon Ranch lmfao
I’m conflicted about this, part of me wonders if it was selfish to tell them. He took away the one comfort or thing they could take pride in (he died fighting, killed by the enemy) all they had for a final memory of their son…meanwhile He gets the cathartic relief of an unburdened heart. Maybe keeping that burden a secret for the rest of his life would have been better for the family. I guess I wonder who he really helped by doing this. I always thought they were angry at him for telling them the truth , not for killing their son.
I think the scene is exactly about that conflict you have.
It is meant to create discussion. That's what makes it & film great. ❤
Yeah he shouldn't of said anything
@smiley-qb3nt it's not easy. But that's why the scene is important. You can see 3 reactions. Maybe some would say it's selfish l, and they wouldn't be wrong, but look at Cruises character. He's not. He needs to speak to them. What really irks me is that he wasn't sure. Why write that in the script. He should be sure he did it, I felt.
In fairness I wouldnt forgive Tom Cruise for that moustache either
It's times like this movie where we are reminded just how great Tom Cruise is as an actor
Cruise is our generations goat along with denzel Washington
Would it have been better to lie is the question? Say he was a hero and saved our lives etc...
Maybe he should have just told the father?
Tom can act, man he is good.
What a powerful scene. And what a great job Tom Cruise did in this role.
Amazing Spilt Diopter shots
Ah of course with cruise in the foreground and the wife/mom in the background! Great catch
I'm the one who created this movie. I did all of it by myself.
Whatever you want to think about his religion, Tom Cruise is one of the best actors of all time. Remember, this was in the 80s. He was still a young actor here.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
His best movie
"I can never forgive you...but maybe the Lord can."
Hey! Tom didn't have to cgi on tears in this one!
And the award for Best Supporting Fake Mustache goes to....
In my director's cut, Ace Ventura style she says "have a cookie" at the end.
That was a real fucked up thing of the wife to say I mean I get she’s mad but dame saying he needs Gods forgiveness like that is an awful thing to say to somebody in that situation
It is what you would expect from a young mother who doesn't have a husband or father to her child anymore. ❤
Amazing acting by Tom
This is a True Story.
He was supposed to be the next Paul Newman/Robert De Niro/Brando... the greatest actor of his generation. Then David Miscavige told him to prioritized action films where he "saves the world." He allowed himself to be reduced to a recruiting tool for a cult. Now he is just "a tool."
2:20 = oh, that girl was in the movie 'Ransom' with Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise ....
Cruise deserved the Oscar for his portrayal of Ron Kovic that year
This is Tom Cruise's pinnacle movie.
Say what you want about Mr. Cruise, the guy can act.
Dr Disrespect really fell off.
Who?
Holy crap! That was an intense scene! I had no idea what the movie was about, I’ve never watched it before.
Yooo this movie was gem still is. ❤ Great comeback or throwback. Thank you.
Forgot how good this movie is
He kinda looks like Rob Reiner when he was on 'All in the Family'.
He could have just left that alone.
There's this thing called a conscience.
Healing begins with the truth.
I spent almost a year in a military hospital in 1971. I later helped out the guys running the group Vietnam Veterans Agianst the War.
The government was very afraid of them. The FBI infiltrated many of the groups. I met a lot of soldiers that had many bad stories about the things they saw & did in Vietnam. There were 10s of 1000s of them over the years.
Tom Cruise did some very good acting in this movie. His common acting roles as a good looking 20 year old hot shot were at times repetitious. It's good to see some depth and gritty realism brought to life by T.C. on a very tragic story. The veteran Ron Kovick was a hero who did what he thought was right. Military service and the circumstances brought on by war are not always easy.
Weird that I'm watching this on the 4th of July.
First time?
"Ain't war hell?" LOL....
A jelly donut!?
I can't watch war movies anymore. After what I saw in Iraq I just want nothing to do with bringing that stuff back. Last one I saw was Lone Survivor in theater. Glad I wasn't the only one sniffling at the end credits. All I could think about was all the funerals and friends gone.
Thanks for your service. - from Vancouver BC 🇨🇦 🍁
If you enjoy the movie a know it's hard going you should maybe read the book by Ron Kovic Ron's still alive and has spent his life protesting against war
This movie doesn’t get enough credit
Wow, powerful scene.
