Men of Honor Men of Honor

History is made by those who break the rules.

Against formidable odds -- and an old-school diving instructor embittered by the U.S. Navy's new, less prejudicial policies -- Carl Brashear sets his sights on becoming the Navy's first African-American master diver in this uplifting true story. Their relationship starts out on the rocks, but fate ultimately conspires to bring the men together into a setting of mutual respect, triumph and honor.

    Men of Honor" is a magnificent film with excellent performances, especially that of Robert De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr. Both display solid, exciting performance with some memorable moments at the right place and pace. I love this film from start to end, based on true events, I just thought it's spectacular especially how Carl Brashear fought all the prejudice, skepticism as well as his racist classmates and superiors. Yeah, okay there are times when the heroic actions are exaggerated but I put a ten for the wonderful time I've had when watching this film. It has made ​​me think and above all, something that few films delivered successfully, that all it takes to succeed in life is perseverance, effort…

    De Niro is always good, but he can't even help a drama that falls flat on its face. Poor Cuba, could never find a decent role after the Oscar.

    Buena historia basada en hechos reales, creo que ataco mucho a los sentimientos de honor y lealtad a una institución, pero no logra emocionar y me suele atraer mucho eso. No busco llorar ni sentirme triste, pero si verse identificado o ponerse en el lugar del suceso esta muy bien logrado en este film

    Oh mein Gott, was für eine Schmonzette. 129 Minuten Schmalz, Kitsch und Pathos. Vielleicht muss man Amerikaner sein, um diesen Eimer voll Army/Navy/USA-Verherrlichung als etwas wunderbar Berührendes und Erhebendes erleben zu können. Ich war allerdings auch tapfer und hielt bis zum Schluß durch. Jetzt bin ich mit meinen Kräften am Ende.

    Notiz an mich selbst: solltest Du dich in ein paar Wochen nicht mehr an diesen Film erinnern - das ist gut so, Du musst ihn nicht noch einmal ansehen, um Dich wieder zu erinnern. Nein, tu es nicht, es wäre fatal!
