"I don't know whether I'm alive and dreaming or dead and remembering"
- Johnny Got His Gun (1971), Written and Directed by Dalton Trumbo. Based on the book he wrote in 1939

This whatever the hell it is was inspired by the book mentioned above, Johnny Got His Gun. The book is a realistic take on the horrors of war from a awake yet comatose World War 1 soldier.
