Also, the catheter scene was, in my opinion, Ron Kovic forcing his family to accept what he is. His mother refuses to accept what the war did to him, and Ron refused to be ignored. This was one of the most soul-crushing scenes in the movie, I thought, because it showed just how alone he was in his torment. -Cash Nelson | Also, the catheter scene was, in my opinion, Ron Kovic forcing his family to accept what he is.

| + | Cash, I certainly agree that the dialogue in the desert scene is important. It tells a lot about what the war did to these men. My problem is that it’s turned into a humorous moment, which really detracts from the meaningfulness of it for me. The same goes for the scene in the Kovic household where Ron confronts his parents. I think pulling out the catheter was important for his family and the audience, but it’s turned into something of a joke. Maybe there’s some deep philosophical point to be made about making those moments humorous, but I’m not really in the mood to be grasping at straws. --Taylor Brann | ||
