| Movie Description An heroic life gets a suitably dramatic retelling in George Tillman, Jr.'s docudrama MEN OF HONOR, based on the true story of Carl Brashear, the first African American to become a United States Navy master diver. The film employs the conventional yet pleasurable against-all-odds narrative. Carl Brashear (played with noble grace by Cuba Gooding Jr.) is the son of a degraded Southern sharecropper. Determined to succeed in the vocation he believes he was born for, Brashear enlists in the navy. Once there, however, the determined young man finds his dream inaccessible--thwarted by the forces of institutional and personal racism. When, after a long and difficult struggle, he is finally allowed into diving school, he finds himself under the authority of Billy Sunday (Robert De Niro), a former master diver whose injured lung has left him permanently above water. Sunday becomes simultaneously Brashear's most vicious adversary and most loyal supporter, motivating him to succeed. The story that follows is a highly emotional wave of ups and downs: Brashear overcomes one barrier only to be met by the next, even larger one. MEN OF HONOR is at times heartbreaking and painful to watch, but the triumphant ending makes for a deeply satisfying payoff.

Reviews  men of honer This is one of the best movies ever. I generally like comedies not in to drama but if ever a movie deserved a sequel this is it. Review ID: 10000000005628402 Was this review helpful? Report this review INSPIRING MOVIEIbought this movie after my daughter brought it to my attention. I have terminal leukemia and the movie was very inspiring to me to keep going in the face of many setbacks. I do not like Robert DeNiro though. He is a great actor but I think he is ugly and every character I haVE EVER SEEN HIM PLAY WAS MEAN AND OBNOXIOUS. That is the only negative thing I can say about the movie and it is just my opinion.

Good subject matter but tends to become a little drawn out and lacks deep drama. Review ID: 10000000001451351 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
