Review of Men of Honor (2000) by Ashley H — 24 Jun 2008
This one is a great one! Robert De Niro and Cuba Gooding have teamed up to make a powerful and influential film. This is the true story of the first black US Navy diver and obstacles he faced in attaining his certification at the hands of a racist Master diver.
Along the way, he must also face plain old bigotry from all of his classmates, none of whom want him in their class. They move out of the barracks when he arrives. Ultimately, he becomes certified and goes on to have a great career as a US Navy diver.
Watch this one! It's a great tale of courage and honor. As the story unfolds, we get to watch racism slowly dissipate and everyone begins to respect men one at a time.
