Joe, a young American soldier, is hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. He lies in a hospital bed in a fate worse than death: a quadruple amputee who has lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious and able to think, thereby reliving his life through strange dreams and memories, unable to distinguish whether he is awake or dreaming. He remains frustrated by his situation, until one day when Joe discovers a unique way to communicate with his caregivers.

Interesting concept and an excellent anti war film, however the lead role was severely miss cast as clearly Bottoms wasnt up to the job.I would like to see this film remade in a modern setting such as Iraq.All in all a worth while watch.

Most depressing film ever made. I saw this year ago and still can't stop thinking about it.

An intriguing and horrifying premise, greatly marred by some terrible acting. Granted, this is a tough role to play, especially the voice-over, but Bottoms does a lousy job with it. The woman who plays his sweetheart is pretty bad, too. This was the only directing attempt by Trumbo, a noted screenwriter. It just goes to show that writing and directing are entirely different talents. Although to be honest, the writing was occasionally spotty, too. Still, it is an unusual and engaging work.

An incredible anti war movie with a magnificent script. It's told through the intermittent flashbacks of a wounded soldier and the integration of the two, both visually and thematically is stunning. While the movie is very powerful and sad it manages use light moments to keep from becoming overbearing.

This was a difficult film to make, and it's impressive it could be made at all. But it's the work of an amateur director, and it shows.
