I just watched this up to the mid '60s, with a very saccharine opening in a stereotypical '50s town and then a slightly darker view of family life with the main character's strict parents and schooling.  I know the gist of the story though and didn't really care about following the protagonist into the Vietnam War.  Oliver Stone directed and co-wrote the script with Ron Kovic, whose autobiography this is based on.
