		But, unlike the abstract propaganda of those who speak of glorious and just wars, it is propaganda based in the day to day, minute to minute, second to second pain and deprivation of a patriot-soldier who, unlike the thousands lying beneath neat white crosses in Europe and elsewhere, didn't quite die.
		The "Johnny" of the title--and the "Johnny" I use here--is Everyman.

	Johnny Got His Gun (1971) - Channel 4 Film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A young American soldier Johnny (Bottoms) hit by a shell on the last day of the First World War, lies in a hospital bed, a quadruple amputee who has lost his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
		Despite such inertia, writer-director Trumbo (who wrote Spartacus for Kubrick) nevertheless gets inside his head by means of a series of flashbacks and fantasy sequences: we learn about Johnny's failed shoe salesman father, his first (and last) night with the woman he loves; his pre-war job in the local bakery.
		Bizarrely, the story is based on real events, and while this kind of truth is usually too strange to be turned into fiction, Trumbo successfully turns Johnny into the living embodiment of the horror and futility of war - but also of the unquenchable resilience of the human spirit.
