Anyone really ever listend to the song One by Metallica? i mean i read the book Johnny Got his Gun, but this song really puts a sad sense of macabre depression into it. Its such a downer of a song, but very powerful.

seen the video? i want to see the movie that the clips belong to...dude gets blown apart in war and the whole movie is people that come see him and talk to him, and his tormented thoughts of realizing his mind was fine but he was a functionaless human with no communication and freedom...he was a head---nice...

well not, he loses his arms legs hearing and sight in a WW2 from being hit by a bomb, and the entire thing is him strugglng to create a new world inside of this darkness. Midway through the book he figures out that he isnt really alone and starts to tap out SOS in mores with his head on his pillow. it takes like a few years for the doctors to notice. When they do they talk back with him its like a major breakthrough in the book, and he wants to die, but they just inject him with drugs and thats pretty much the way it ends. its depressing as all hell. But mos tof the book is just his memories with flashes to the present.
i serious think anyone who wants a STRONG anti war book get Johnny got his gun by Dalton Trumbull or however its spelled, because it is a masterpiece.

The book is excellent. The film is also very well done. The film was directed by Dalton Trumbo (the writer) himself, and is therefore his vision of what it should look like. SOK is right however, its horrible and leaves you feeling very sad, and almost... ashamed to be a part of this "civilized" human race.

Also, Metallica did a very good job of bringing that feeling out with their song. The video is, in my opinion, the best video ever recorded. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

i can play the intro to that song on my guitar. killer track!

Just had to pop in and say SOK I love your sig, or rather I love the song it is from. Stabbing Westward rule.

Sorry, I'll go now......
