Über diesen Film

A riveting tale of bucking the odds and overcoming discrimination, Men Of Honor tells the story of Carl Brashear, the son of a Kentucky sharecropper who joins the newly-integrated Navy. Carl's training officer, Billy Sunday, wants no part of Carl or his ambitions. Sunday, a celebrated master Chief Navy Diver whose exploits as a troublemaker are as legendary as his accomplishments as a diver, relentlessly taunts and challenges Carl, expecting him to falter and quit. But Carl has other ideas. His goal is clear, his determination fixed. Nothing will stand in the way of his dream of becoming a Navy Diver. Not even Billy Sunday.

Cuba Gooding Jr. by. Far is my favorite character. It is true that race plays a part in this film. That is quite obvious. However at a much deeper level the concept to me in the story is about completing and accomplishing doing something that no one had ever done before and overcoming the odds and multiple types and forms of opposition based on race, socio-economic status, gender, time/place, geographical area, as well as age, life experience, and most of all belief in worldviiew!

Rascism was big in the military, but for one moment in time can make history. For a man who wanted to be be a naval deep sea diver. I loved the story and learned how hard it was for one man to be accepted into something he wants more then life.

The only thing that killed this movie is Robert De Niro he is a piss poor actor when i am forced to watch any movie with him in it i know it's going o be a bust. The best part of this movie was the end because it was over.
