I was curious to see how critics responded to this rousing, inspiring
movie, so I went to rotten tomatoes and was dismayed to discover that pompous
the peanut gallery that is our nation's film critics have given
the film from an average of 43% (or "Rotten") rating.
All I can say is, if this film does not move you, you have no heart.
(It is interesting to note that the same movie on the same website
earned a rating of 74% of viewers).
Not that the opinion of critics is all that important to me. After all,
I can not think of a more useless, in excess profession. Some schmo
paid to go to the movies (what a tough life) and does the same
everyone else on the planet does: a review. But these chumps
have a way to come across his view as well that somehow matters more
of theirs, and even worse, they love to hate.
I will grant that this movie is old (well, except for
f-bombs), syrupy, and a bit predictable ... after all, you know right from the outset that
Cuba Gooding Jr., portraying real-life hero Carl Brashear
Navy, will succeed (if necessary) at every step
simply for the way he comes to through: strong and daring;
strong will and optimism.
But his performance and De Niro (as Billy Sunday, a composite character
several real-life people) are so strong, so inspiring,
who will take over their feet cheering many of the scenes from the movie, especially
the courtroom climax. You must be a real stick in the mud
not to be moved by these scenes. Like our nation's film critics.
Michael Rappaport is excellent as well as a sweet-natured, stuttering
diving student who Befriends Gooding of Brashear. If anyone has seen
"Higher Learning", this character fully redeems that character.
anyway, this confirms what I have always felt: not listen to critics.
See this movie and inspiring.
This well-acted story of the end of segregation in the armed forces are said
through the real experience of Carl Brashear. Ultimately it is a story of
human honour and dignity triumphing over smallmindedness, bureaucracy, and
injury. Some of the scenes are deliberate attempts to many nice, but
But to be effective.
