Johnny Got His Gun is originally an anti-war novel published in 1939 by Dalton Trumbo, an American novelist. The novel was based on a true event where a soldier lost all his senses and all of his limbs.
The film was released in 1971 and was re-released in 2009 on DVD. The 2009 DVD also includes a documentary titled Dalton Trumbo: Rebel in Hollywood, the music video One by Metallica, cast interviews, the original trailer, a radio told version of the book from 1940 and behind the scenes commentary.
The name Johnny got his Gun was an American propaganda call for rallying young men to subscribe to the military.
Plot

Advantages: Intense captivating storyline Disadvantages: Some 2D characters
I found this movie highly watchable. It contains some very good quality acting on behalf of Zach Braff throughout - featuring his usual Scrubs-like comedy lines. The movie doesnt however feature a few somewhat 2D characters who never really develop through the film.

As much as I love watching movies , unless I am really desperate to watch a film , I would never buy a brand new DVD at full price. I would much rather wait a couple of months and pay half the price. I think this is a much more sensible approach as it still allows me to see the movie I wanted , yet without burning a hole in my pocket.
Anyway , back to browsing in the shop. I much prefer buying DVDs from a charity shop (providing they are of good quality) as you can pick up bargains. For example the other week I managed to buy four videos for a £1. I think that the fact that I have a video player (as well as a DVD player) whereas a lot of people don't these days , means that it is an advantage ...
