With the help of the movie clips from 'Johnny Got His Gun' Metallica's "One" turned non metal fans on to metal. They didn't use the movie clips as a way to enhance the power of the song, the association was very close and therefore credible. The theme of the song is based on the anti-war novel 'Johnny Got His Gun' by Dalton Trumbo. The novel was about a soldier trapped inside his own body after losing his limbs, eyes, ears, teeth and tongue in a blast. Dalton Trumbo directed the movie adaptation of his own novel more than 30 years after it was first published. Put everything together and what we have here is a fucking great song with a fascinating video, kind of by default.
