The anti-war novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo was first published in 1938 and won an early National Book Award for Most Original Book of 1939. It was later made into a 1971 movie directed by Trumbo. It became an enduring classic and is still popular today.Johnny Got His Gun is one of the most powerful antiwar novels ever written. It depicts the brutality of war and the impact it has on people. It was so powerful that it became an antiwar rallying cry for many Americans of World War II and Vietnam eras. Trumbo's novel has also inspired protest movements against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.David Hume
Hume is a famous moral philosopher who famously argued that reason alone cannot be a motive for action. He asserted that only passion and the pursuit of an end can move us to act. This argument is controversial because it requires the application of passion in order for us to make choices and take action. Nonetheless, Hume does not specifically deny the importance of reason in driving actions, and in fact, admits that reason can provide information that a person may not have otherwise.Hume was also a strong supporter of the established Church of England and the Stuart monarchy. His stance on the right to resist oppression is more tempered than his position on government. Although Hume accepts that there are certain natural human impulses, he believes that the disposition to obey the government is not innate. Therefore, it is necessary to instill a sense of moral obligation among people.Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant was a philosopher who argued that moral judgments are in some way apt to be true. Essentially, he argued that lying is wrong. This is based on his Categorical Imperative that "it is not permissible to lie" (Kant, 1799).Virtues include honesty and gratitude. They also include self-respect, thrift, beneficence, and sociability. Kant also differentiated between virtue and vice and discussed each as having its own moral end. Vices are actions that are not morally good.Joe
The second part of Johnny Got His Gun is set in California and follows the lives of two men named Joe and Kareen. Joe, who enlists in the Marine Corps, is a former soldier who has been in and out of combat for almost two decades. He has just returned home from the war and is looking for work. In the process, he has come into contact with a woman he is in love with. The woman's father has arranged for Kareen and Joe to spend a night together.Unlike many novels that focus on war and its aftermath, Johnny Got His Gun is a novel that explores the complexities of life, death, and compassion. Dalton Trumbo's character, Joe, is based on his own experiences. He grew up in a poor working-class family and lost his father. He also worked as a bakery employee.Day nurse
Johnny Got His Gun is a novel about a boy who goes from being a daydreamer to becoming a war veteran. The book has a strong anti-war theme, and Trumbo had a profound effect on its early readers. However, he soon had to suspend reprints and the story lost its popularity for a while during the World War II years. However, its popularity resurfaced in the 1960s during the Vietnam War, and in the 1990s with the song "One" by Metallica.The book's premise is a horrifying one, and it works a lot better as an anti-war tract than a novel. But it doesn't have as strong a story as it could be. The story has good moments, but it's overshadowed by a lack of subtlety and too many digressions. For example, while the monologue of Joe Bonham is perfectly fine, the long reminiscences of his happy past are unappealing.Anti-war novel
An anti-war novel is a book that opposes war. It is also called a pacifist novel, because it promotes peaceful resolution of disputes. Trumbo, the author of Johnny Got His Gun, explains how war affects society and illustrates the atrocities that occur when people fight one another.The tone of the book plays an important role in highlighting the theme. Its tone is one of realism, which is meant to show that the pain of war is not made noble by its abstract purpose. Rather, it is horrifying.1971 film

The film stars Timothy Bottoms, Marsha Hunt, Kathy Fields, and Jason Robards. It also stars Donald Suuel.Dalton Trumbo wrote the original Johnny Got His Gun novel in 1939, but he returned to it decades later, directing the 1971 film version. Although Trumbo altered the tone of the story, he kept the central message in tact. In the novel, "Johnny" is disturbingly incorporeal, but in the film, he becomes a nightmarish presence. In the movie, surrealist master Louis Bunuel contributes to the screenplay, making Johnny's intentions more complex and nuanced.
