Movie: Men of Honor
Established on a real story, Robert Deniro and Cuba Gooding Jr. pair up for inspirational story of Master Chief Petty Officer Carl Brashear (Gooding Jr.) and Master Chief Leslie William “Billy” Sunday (Deniro) In the movie Men of Honor.
Honor Inspires
Carl Brashear is a person making an attempt to turn out to be the 1st African American Navy diver.
The story in the final analysis revolves around two “men of honor”; their kinship, their individual and joint failures and victories. Carl Brashear is determined to be the first African American Navy Diver in a time where racial discrimination is strife. Leslie Sunday is his envenomed trainer, determined to see him fail. Fate, challenges and conditions eventually draw these two men together in a tale of turbulence and at long last victory.
Carl Brashear, signs up with the Navy and, after viewing the heroics of Billy Sunday, the Caucasian son of a sharecropper, determines to get to be the Navy’s very first African-American diver. At the Bayonne, N.J., divers’ training camp, Sunday is his instructor, and Brasher must prevail over hazing verging on the murderous. With Sunday and the camp’s commanding officer dead set against Brashear’s graduating, his physical capabilities and steely purpose, which he got from his daddy, see him through and through. Carl and Billy’s paths cross again when each wishes rehabilitation one from a trauma, the other from bitterness. Their wives look on with awe and thwarting
The final scenes of the movie are Carl stands up in the new diving suit after may tribulations, and-with obvious eager discomfort- takes a couple clumsy steps forward. Most people assumes that his prosthetic leg will snap (which he got from an earlier diving accident), but Sunday steps forward and begins screaming orders at Carl (just like their first session at diving school years before). Carl struggles, but continues advancing till he has reached the 12th step.
Captain Hanks, realizing that no more can be done, says that the Navy will be reinstating Carl to full diving duty.
Carl and Sunday salute each other, and then meet with their wives as a celebration of this crucial triumph.
Credits at the end reveals that Carl Braschear was the first African-American amputee to assume Navy diving duty, and those 2 years after his reinstatement Carl was promoted to Master Chief. Carl went forward in his naval career for another 9 years before finally taking retirement.
End-to-end in the movie he faces confrontation from those who don’t want him to come through, including Sunday. With only a 7th grade education and finally a prosthetic leg, Brashear is driven to become the first African American Navy Diver.
With a marvelous and moving closing scene, Men of Honor delivers the message that regardless the obstacle, success is possible.
