In that movie, it is revealed at the end that his post-Vietnam life was all an illusion (and not a pleasant one) and that he actually died in Vietnam on the operating table. Supposedly that could be the interpretation of this movie.
shareYes, he's shot by Paul Lazarro whilst in Dresden, and also while on the plane, on Tralfamador, learning to swim and recovering in hospital.
shareInteresting, I never thought to compare the two films. But there are parallels. I wouldn't be surprised if Slaughterhouse Five had some inluence on Jacob's Ladder.
shareThat would explain alot.
