General: “don’t you have some message for him, Padre?”
Priest: “He’s a product of your profession….. not mine.”
Definitely the greatest quote in movie history in my opinion but it wasn't the doctor the priest said that to. It was the Army General. Which makes it even more powerful.
@@garrisonnichols807 You are correct, sir. I edited it. I highly recommend reading the book if you haven’t .
Yeah, priests just sodomize boys.
I'm not gonna test his faith against your stupidity
The book is even more claustrophic than the movie for the simple fact that its written in the first perspective. You are inside Johnny's head with him as he comes to terms to where he is and the extent of his injuries. The book is also written in a stream of consciousnes-style so you're reading this word-vomit of Johnny's mind racing between memories, fantasy and reality, and the point of view never 'exits' his head for a breather. Its a feverish and deeply (deliberately) unpleasant read.
I couldn't agree with you more!
Actually we do exit his head...
An astute reader will note that there is some give in the narrative, points where it breaks from being "Joe" speaking and becomes the writer Trumbo himself speaking. This is how I perceive and was taught to look at the ending, the big anti war rant from the author himself
@@_scabs6669 I thought this when I finished reading it. I didn't actually like the ending for that reason, I felt as though it didn't have a proper conclusion, as like you say, right at the end it just turns into a rant from Trumbo. Great book though.
@@jakelindsay268 I think that's a strength of the novel, the way he shifts perspective. It made a real mark on me and my writing
@@jakelindsay268 I'm glad you noticed that too
I think the scariest thing about this film is that Johnny’s condition is scarily similar to a real phenomenon known as “Locked-in Syndrome”. It’s very rare, and it’s where the person appears to be in a coma, but is actually still completely conscious. Granted, hospital staff aren’t going to use these people as Guinea pigs, but the idea of wanting to scream “I’m here” while everyone around you assumes you’re already gone is terrifying.
My goodness that is a FRIGHTENING bit of trivia!
If I'm ever in that situation, I just hope the carers stick a TV in view with a stream of good shows and movies 😅
Based on the true story of Curley Christian.
I've been "locked-in" after spending 4 weeks in medically induced coma. I remember the nurses noticed that I was following them around with my eyes, but I couldn't move anything, just my eyes. The coma on the other hand was just like the film and the song "One". "Darkness, imprisoning me. All that I see, absolute horror. I cannot live, I cannot die. Trapped in myself, body my holding cell". That was my life and I lived it. The coma was like having to live inside all the worst nightmares that you've ever had rolled in to one. Wandering the dark corridors trying to find your way out and being chased. And then, when you do wake up, you can't walk, drink, eat, or stand. You have no memory (amnesia), loss of all muscle. You are tied down to the bed in a straitjacket. I'd rather die that go through that again.
I was noted on the medical note "suicidal ideation". But I didn't want to die, I just thought that dying would allow me to transition on from this horrible nightmare that wouldn't end.
@randomtextidontcare
Sorry......I don't by that crap. So you're fine
And back to Normal Typing You're Horrendous story in the comments ???
This movie is basically a more grounded version of the horror from "I have no mouth and i must scream"
exactly what i thought
That story is fucking sickening too
Yes
'Johnny got his gun' makes 'I have no mouth' look like Barney's playhouse.
@@theDesync i have no mouth is far more terrifying than johnny got his gun
This is genuinely the worst possible fate I can imagine. I can’t imagine anything worse
@@hdlmscruffee227 At least he can escape the pain of death eventually. This man is in an indefinite limbo between life and death. He cannot escape it due to the military wanting him alive. I don't think you or I can possibly fathom or comprehend the true madness that comes from this. This is not a subject of pain this is a subject about mental suffering which is arguably worse.
What about wanting to pee really hard but being forced to hold your piss??

I worked in neurology just out of nursing school and the first time I encountered a patient with locked-in syndrome I went straight over to my parents and told them that if that ever happened to me I wanted to be put down.
how common is it?
@@Chinaman2077 I've only seen a couple of cases but it was a couple too many.
@@T3t4nu5 Thats terrible, my heart is out to anyone that is forced to endure that, I wish they could know I am thinking about them.
Metallica’s first music video for One off of And Justice for All uses clips from this movie. The song is based off of it. And James’s vocal performance represents the man who can’t see, hear, or move wanting to die and get out of the prison of his body… deep stuff.
Also a man who can't sing...lol
also The Shortest Straw is about Dalton Trumbos fight against HUAC
Deep? No. No.
Isn't it based on a true event? Like obviously WW1 happened but was there ever a soldier who was described? No arms, no legs no face?
@@wopjohn 😐
The book is one of the scariest things I’ve ever read, because you’re inside the character’s head the whole time as he slowly figures out how extensive and awful his injuries are.
This is a good example of why preventing euthanasia is sometimes monstrous and cowardly. It's oppressive and selfish to deny a suffering person the right to death just to appease others or conform to questionable moral constructs.
"Johnny Got His Gun" is one of the most terrifying books I've ever read. It's absolutely wrenching.
It's so lame it doesn't even disappoint properly.
The song "One" intrigued me so much I read the book johnny got his gun. It was written with no punctuation or capital letters. I was 16 when I read it. It absolutely mortified me!
I’m glad somebody is finally giving this movie the attention it deserves much respect
Thank you for your kind words Rufus!
this is actually scarily similair to what happened with a japanese sailor after he got a lethal dose of radiation...
they kept him alive even while he begged them to finally end him...
so...
this is actually realistic. extremely so. only the man was able to protest and speak but was simply ignored by all.... is that worse or better? Im not sure..
You are talking about Hisashi Ouchi right?
That thing about him begging for death isn't actually totally true.
He only told the doctors to stop once, then he stated "i am not a guinee pig" but one of the nurses reminded him of his family, his wife and son and he chose to keep fighting for them.
Also at some point Hisashi suffered a multitude of heart attacks and was revived evety time but it was believed that the brain injury he suffered as a result of the attacks left him unable to feel much of the pain he was in. But thats just speculation
Might have been a situation like the ome with Joe where he was in excruciating pain but couldn't say anything
@@user-pi3hd2bt3fa bit of information you gave was also partially incorrect. The hospital somewhat pressured the family to keep him alive, withholding them in a room for a few hours at times to reassure them. This is done because the hospital is also bound by Japanese law to keep him alive. I forgot if the wife ever even signed a sort of DNF contract, but she had initially wanted to.
The nurses also lied to keep Hisashi from giving up, telling him that his family wanted him alive and fighting to keep him more pliant during procedures.
@@Tanaka1168 is that in the book?
I never read it i just watched a documentary on the subject
Its disgusting what those butchers did to that guy.
@@user-pi3hd2bt3f I compiled from several sources, mostly from the documentary book, the actual medical reports, as well as the official crticality incident briefing paper from Tokaimura facility.
Despite my previous comments, I am not putting 100% blame on the doctors, they were obligated by Japanese law to keep him alive. I'm guessing based on the book from the NHK journalist crew, that the nurse were simply trying their best to cheer him up. Telling him white lies that his family wanted him to keep fighting.
I definitely believe that the Vietnam War being in the background had something to do with it's bleakness.
Because of more modern technology, more Soldiers were surviving their wounds and therefore going back home mutilated.
You can survive a naplam strike, but it's whether you would want to.
I think the fact that you can't actually see his face makes it more powerful.
The Metallica video scared the snot out of me when I was in my teens. I later watched the film and nightmare fuel doesn't cover it. This is one of the most deeply upsetting films I have ever watched. If you ever seek it out (and I am not saying don't) understand that it will stay with you.
Same...seen the music video when I was 15 (in my 30s now), read the book and later watched the film- this stays with you.
It’s even more depressing than The Road
@@CajunReaper95 oh my goodness 😱 nope 😳🙄
This movie definitely affected me, but it just seems like another addition to all the messed up shit in my head. I wish I could reset my mind and have another chance to keep it pure.
Saw a video of a Russian getting his face blown off by a drone dropped grenade. That moment he looks up at the drone and tries to breathe really got me. Made me think of this movie.
Thought that was a separatist.
@@thebigenchilada678 More than likely. I do need to be careful with the use of the word “Russian” I was just using for anyone in the Russian military. Would be even more tragic if it was a conscripted Ukrainian
@@scalisque5403 a Russian conscript getting his face blown off is less tragic than an ukrainian conscript getting the same tragedy or did you just word it wrongly?
@@RandomPerson-hd6wr if someone is the DPR or LPR then they are more than likely a forcibly conscripted Ukrainian. So yes it would be tragic for a forcibly conscripted Ukrainian to be blown up by his own countrymen
@@scalisque5403 OH lol i havent thought of friendly fire, sorry
I saw the movie first, and the sheer horror of it stayed with me for days. I then picked up a paperback copy, a truly great read! I remember about halfway through the book, Trumbo leaves the narrative behind for one chapter and gives us an essay on war, politicians and the innocent pawns that do the fighting. That part couldn’t be translated to the screen. Find a copy; it’s well worth the effort just to read that part.
Read the book first in high school after years of seeing the One video
Impact of it I still feel today
probably the most haunting movie ever, the mere simplistic sceneries and mood makes it ever more scary
Given the time of its release and its source material being written only two decades after WWI when WWII was on the horizon, it's not hard to see exactly why this movie was made with such a horrific vision of the effects of war. I retire at the end of the month and emerged physically unscathed from my time in the Army, to include a tour each in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I've seen enough and buried too many of the fallen to consider combat glorious.
A lot of us enlist as idealistic young people, with those like me envisioning battlefield heroics and such. It's not like that at all, which the movie shows. A moment of panic, a loud noise and/or bright flash, and your image of welcome home parades and history books is over. Best case, you survive with a few scars. Worse case, you come home in a transfer case at Dover Air Force Base, worst case, you are severely disfigured and end up shortening your own life in lieu of living with the memories. A good case study of a man who was expected to do great things but ended up in a worst case scenario is Lewis Puller, Jr., the son of Chesty Puller. His father is probably the most revered Marine in history, but his own service was cut short, leading to years of emotional anguish and his eventual suicide.
My time in the military was filled with ups and downs and included everything from recruiting, to being a Drill Sergeant, to fighting high intensity conventional warfare (Invasion of Iraq), to standing by helplessly as patrols were hit by IEDs (as an Operations Sergeant in Afghanistan), to welcoming the fallen home at Dover and burying them in Arlington National Cemetery.
This movie is so nightmarish because it depicts an average young American man put in a situation from which there is no escape. All the glory and praises fade over time and, at most, a VA center or street might be named after a prominent hero, only to lose meaning as the generations pass.
There is no other vision of the effects of war that is not horrific. There is nothing "glorious" about it. Never was, never will.
@@CabezasDePescado DId you not read a word he typed?
Smedley Butler said it best: “War is a racket.”
Probably the most horrific movie I've ever seen. Thanks for reviewing it for others!!
Thank you!!
There are no words in any language strong enough to convey how utterly terrifying and bleak this movie was!!
I discovered the film through One from Metallica but it alone is a HORRIFYING movie. The concept, the portrayal, the dream sequences. It’s a horrifying idea and then to be kept alive makes it all the more an example of hell on earth.
I’ve watched this movie and read the book at least 13 times. Different pov the film to the book, but by god both are nightmarish.
Such a sad movie, that ending always gets me
The first time I watched this movie my mind went back to the time when my grandad would talk about the horrors of war. As he and many others from my family fought in both the first & second world wars.
I saw this movie when I was 15.. it took me to the Bone and I have the number for gotten it.. to even hear the title since chills down my back.. people with war Hawks mentality should be forced to watch this movie.. because only 10% of what this man suffered.. is still too much.. everyday our servicemen and women roll the dice for "Our".. unappreciated freedoms.. Semper Fidelis/Semper Fortis
Had to read this book in Highschool. And I will tell you it's fucking messed up. Sad as hell yeah, but still messed up. Just let the poor man die was the only thing I took away from that book.
Worse thing is, one of my Grandfathers had to go through something like this. No not the missing limbs or stuff like that, but the part about being trapped in your own body. When I was just a kid He had a stroke, I was young enough that I do not even remember it happening. Just that one day I saw my grandfather who had been strong and kind turn into someone who needed to be put in diapers. Turned into someone who could not even speak. And my Grandpa had to go through that for nearly 13 years before he passed. Which happened just before I read this book for school.
So yeah, there is a reason why being trapped in my own body, unable to move, unable to die, unable to do anything, Is my greatest fear.
The closest embodiment of hell on earth imaginable.
👍💯💯💯
My parents were friends with the director. They were invited to the premier of this film. They were not happy they were not informed as to the content of this film before seeing it.
It really disturbed them greatly and kind of jacked them up.
I’ve chosen to never see it after how they reacted and I like heavy films.
Your parents were friends with Dalton Trumbo the man who wrote the book and directed the movie
Bro the ONE music video gave me ptsd I can’t imagine watching several hours of it 💀💀💀

"THREADS".... 1984
Truely a tense, heartbreaking movie. Watched it in 2022 and was shocked.
I saw that movie as a teen. One of the few that made me cry back then.
finally decided to watch this movie because of the One music video. i love that metallica bought the rights to this movie, because its available for free right on youtube and they aren't striking any of the videos down
For anyone who doesn’t know, the Medulla Oblongata is where the spinal chord becomes the brainstem
The name of this movie likely received its name from the American WWI song “We’re Coming Over!” The first line of the song is “Johnny, get your gun!”
Loving this TRIVIA!!
Over There!
Cool that more people are covering it, not because it's great, but because it helps demystify it.
This shit actually gives me weird dreams. Not nightmares, just weird mildly upsetting dreams and I'm a little sick of it.
*Five years earlier, the US soldier shown at timestamp **9:33** appeared in the very first episode of original Star Trek called "Man Trap". After being killed by the "salt creature" the alien assumes his appearance and returns to the Enterprise in order to claim more victims. Just a bit of trivia that caught my fancy.*
Still categorically the darkest movie I've ever seen.
I read the book something like 20 years ago and it has honestly never left my mind. It was an incredibly formative experience for me.
This is one of the very few movies that I could not watch till the end. Just the memory and your video made me cry.
I mean... one of the very few GREAT movies that I could not watch. I could watch a bad discusting movie till the end, I just choose not. This one beated me, no choice, and I will probably never will try again.
This is one of those movies that you greatly appreciate and respect but never want to see ever again.
Great way to summarise it!
I happened upon this movie once in the 80’s on The Saturday Morning movie or something like that. I was pretty young and it made a huge impact on me. So much so that when I head the song ‘One’ as a teenager I picked up on its parallels or inspiration almost instantly.
I saw the music video when I was super young and the premise ALWAYS resonated with me. Scared the shit out of me
Well…as a much younger man, I had to dig pretty deep to find the name of the movie from the One video. I finally did, found it at an obscure video store, rented it…and basically didn’t care much for it, was bored with it…but now as an adult I really want to watch it again!
Thanks man! Great video
I just watched this film for the first time and was completely blown away. This is by far the most hardcore anti-war film I've ever seen. The most unsettling moments for me was the scene in the middle of the film with Donald Sutherland as Jesus and the priest at the end. Even Jesus and a priest are perplexed by Johnny's condition and can provide him little to no comfort. The priest even completely denies god's involvement and blames warfare alone for Johnny's injuries. It was so heartbreaking to see how optimistic Johnny was, hoping to be around people and be in the sunlight, (even if it meant being a freak), then having his chance at a little sliver of happiness ripped away from him. I honestly believe that the military could have granted Johnny's wish but they want young men to be willing to go to war. They don't want them to look at Johnny, see that war can lead to fates worse than death, and are unwilling to fight.
"Landmines have taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing, taken my arms, taken my legs."
i discovered this movie through a band called Impavida. the ending sound clip was used in their song "traumata". that song really disturbed me. so i had to watch the movie.
I get that this is supposed to be a take on the human need for communication/interaction/war BUT a guy that suffered this many severe wounds in WW1 would likely have died from numerous medical risks like infection and blood clots. Also, someone in that level of care is highly prone to infection from being bed ridden.
Christopher Reeves died from an infection that traveled into his bloodstream as a result of inappropriate bedcare/bedsores.
That being said, the main character was later renamed at the clinic he was interned to. They called him Matt.
I watched this movie back when I was still a pre teen, I was looking for the film that was used in the Metallica One music video, that video always haunted me as a child and i searched for the real movie for years and it blew me away after watching it. Weird seeing it talked about now.
Metallica’s One is the song that got me into metal. Anyway, I’ll never forget how that music video stuck with me all those years ago when I was in the 8th grade. I eventually watched the film and whew boi it’s some serious nightmare fuel indeed. One of the bleakest and most depressing films I’ve ever seen.
“Darkness.. imprisoning me.. all I see, absolute horror. I cannot live, I cannot die.” Holy frejoles they bought the rights.
Thanks for this recap, I saw the film in my teens and it has never left me. I bought the DVD about 15 years ago but have never built up the will to watch it again, putting it off each time. As you grow older you measure more the horror and absurdity of conflict and feel it more intensely, at least it's my case. This video does the job of bringing back the essence in a limited time and involvement I can deal with.
I read the book in high-school, about a week after I heard it, I was listening to one and it gave me night terrors. I could hear Joe pleading for help in my head over and over
Read
This movie scares me more than any horror film due to the fact of thinking about what would it be like to live with no arms,legs,eyes and no way to talk
This movie legitimately gave me the worst anxiety when I was a kid...
The really haunting part for me was the soldiers playing '21' with Jesus Christ in the depot, waiting for the train taking them to their inevitable, premature deaths. One dies of flu, another KIA, another in a trench cave in. One of them asks Jesus "I'd liked to have seen my boy when he was five." Jesus replies "You'll see him when he's 50, and you'll still be 23."
i read the book first and its so scary oml😭 the way he slowly finds out how bad his injuries are is horrifying
Darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror, yeah!
The fact Metallica dedicated their whole Justice and For all album based on this book and WW1 is amazing. I have done many drawings about the album writing lyrics with Johnny got his gun. It is a very nice novel! I read it at a young age before Metallica with my social studies teacher and my dad. This is one of my favorite novels ever! It is so sad how much pain young men went through in WW1, metallicas lyrics plus reading the book is like euphoria, it's so powerful.
The movie is definitely trippy especially his dream sequences. I rewatched it the other night. I completely missed all the other times when he realized how severe his injuries actually were and described them. If they remade it now, we would see what he looks like.
It's interesting. The title "Johnny Got His Gun" initially seems to be a reference to the WWI song "Over There" which begins with the line "Johnny get your gun".
But there's also an Irish song called "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye" that contains the lyrics:
"You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
You’re an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg;
You’ll have to be put with a bowl to beg:
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye!"
“SOS…. Help me…. SOS”
A nightmare of the highest order, the music video and lyrics sum it up perfectly, he cannot live, he cannot die, trapped in himself, body his holding cell, I would go insane within days, but Johnny is alot braver than me.
That movie is crazy. I saw it on TH-cam and it's something that sticks with you. I don't mean like Cannibal Holocaust or 120 Days of Sodom. I mean in a different way. Johnny Got His Gun definitely hits different. It's one of the most underrated movies of all time. It's excellent.
I have always been extremely scared of sensory deprivation.The idea that you become a prisoner to your own senses, that you have absolutely no purpose to exist, no task to achieve, nothing changing.Simply left to your own devices to do absolutely nothing until you go insane. So, stories were it is featured have always moved me the most, but usually it's either something metaphysical that causes it or some extremely messed up torture method. But to think it could occur "naturally" is just messing me up. There are fates worst than death, but this is even a level down from that
I watched this in late August of my sophomore year in high school and the reason I remember that it was late August is because i was a sophomore in 2001 and just a few days later 9/11 would occur and by summer break we were at war
The military would btw, they totally would do this, a thousand times over.
Still to this day one of the most terrifying films I have ever seen. I saw this movie when I was young ( around 16 ) on one of the early cable TV movie channels.
There are indeed fates worse than death.........much worse.
I cannot live...
I cannot die...
This kinda happenend in real life: A Japanese radiation accident caused a man to degenerate on a molecular level. They kept him alive as long as possible to study him.

@@bandolierboy1908 But his body is also physically in extreme pain continously for several days.
I saw this one when i was 14. Let's just say that absolutely no horror movie scared me after this.
The reason the movie is named “Johnny got his gun” is a reference to a song called “Over there”
The worst thing that could ever happen to someone. This movie is basically the only reason I haven’t committed suicide. I fear failing suicide more than I fear death. Being conscious of the darkness that you’re stuck in… THAT is hell.
The climax was really frustrating because both versions of the book and the movie Joe didn't die and the message of it really wakes you up with how he will continue to suffer.
that "as you do" made me lol
This movie always gets iffy reviews. I saw it 1st when I was a kid & still think it's very effective. Thank you.
Thank you!
It referenced Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen. I haven't read that since high school yet still remember it.
I found out about the Movie/ Book a while ago, looking for older horror stories. For a more Sci-fi version "I have no mouth and i must scream" really disturbed me too, a lot. Theres a short story and a game i can heavily recommend!
Somehow, in my mind, shadow of the the “queen” victoria era seems to inform the ‘Modesty’ of always his always being under a shroud.
When I've been feeling low, all I have to do is visit the SF VA Medical Center...almost instantly, I realize I don't have anything seriously worth whining about & I thank God.
It's a real attitude-adjuster...seeing men with "missing members" who are just happy to be alive.
My recollection of the film is different, although I've only seen it once or twice more than a decade ago. It seems to me that after he is destroyed, that there is a buildup of his realization of what he must do. The beginning of the movie is really the end, with the doctors doing what the Army finally agreed to do. All the dream sequences are leading up to his last option of trying to communicate to others. His friendly nurse sees him struggle with his head bobbing but can't figure out what he is doing. His dreams harken back to the days when he took lessons in life. One of those lessons is that he learned Morse code, although I don't recall if that is specifically stated, it just is an epiphany to him toward the end. He starts using his head for Morse code but it takes the longest time for anyone to realize it. Finally, a soldier does recognize what he is trying to do and there is still not an agreement on what the Army should do based on his "kill me" coding. The beginning with the doctors overlooking him are the doctors that will euthanize him and the blackness that comes over him is is death.
Definitely needs a remake set in modern times.
I can see David Lynch remaking this. He knows how to create nightmarish worlds and individuals trapped inside them.
Just watched this last night. Going to sleep was just about impossible.
Definitely a horror film, and the saddest movie I can think of.
is like a fever dream that never ends, brutal film
Cabinet Of Curiosities, “The Autopsy” episode gives this a nod.
Read the book, didn’t know there was a movie
Wow. I saw this when I was a kid and forgot it. Man, this was intense. I believe I read it too, like, in the third grade.
What why would you read this in 3rd grade 😅🧐
I saw this movie several years ago and it was extremely disturbing. I whatched it again through much more grown eyes and I have a son now too. Back than I hadn't. I can tell you this movie hit me very hard on the second whatch. I have seen a lot in my life but this movie and concept disturbs me on another level. I almost have to scream as I think about it. This is the worst possible form of living I think.
This whole ordeal feels like an idea for a Family Guy joke.
Eyyy my suggestion born out of weeks worth of nightmares
Like if you got introduced to this movie by Metallica! 🤘
Comment if you watched the movie/read the book first instead!📖🎬
I was 16 when I read the book after hearing the song. Very powerful story!!
Read the book back in the '70s, when Metallica were still in middle school.
Any time someone tries to glorify war, I think of this. And I think "Would they still agree if they were in Johnny's place?".
I have nightmares just watching & hearing the scenes alone CHILLS!!
