      Before the lofty ambitions

      Saw the "AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN" in the corner. This is one of the more famous films in the early works of Richard Gere. Get home and take a closer look at the jacket "85 Years' Best Supporting Actor Award." Oh my god, that's old enough!
       The story of a youth film in the 1980s is very simple. After graduating from university, a young man joined the Navy. As a noncommissioned officer, he had to complete 13 weeks of training before he could formally advance and become an officer. During...

      Very pure love

      When I watched movies in the 80s, I was already full of nostalgia. The story tells the tangled love of navy pilots. Although it is a very good-looking romance film, its classics are mainly reflected in the good-looking story and the strong sense of nostalgia in the 1980s. As for the concept of love in it, it is not very useful from the current point of view. The male chauvinism is too strong and modern people. Love is more complicated, and there is no pureness in the past, but this is what...

      Military love stories are always unusual

      The love stories of soldiers are always unusual, because they are always accompanied by parting, aliens, and wars, ranging from "Break Up Letter" to "Break Up the Blue Bridge". For different races, it is even more complicated. Love is in reality. Always vulnerable in front of you.

      This film is also an emotional story in a special age. Only the naval base is a symbol of vitality and hope in the dilapidated little place. The girls have been eyeing the trained non-commissioned officers,...

      I didn’t see the ending~ what kind of ending?

      I think life is sometimes worth waiting for, especially for people who are worth waiting for. Today, I wrote a diary in class. As usual, I started to compete with myself secretly, cheer myself up, don’t wait, just do whatever I want, regardless of my will, stubbornly treat my own wishes, I want to go everywhere, no Time is waiting, I must set off tomorrow, looking for a companion I like, if I can’t find me, I’ll go on the road alone, my determination is made. Going to do it enthusiastically....

      This kind of love story should not happen in the army. It is only the charm of those actors who can watch...

      The sub-line has been laying out Sid's character, and finally had a premonition of the ending, but struggled in his heart and didn't want it to happen. So sad, the main melody is just a...

      Richard Gere was so handsome more than 30 years ago, and it seems that he did not portray the cuteness of the heroine other than beauty. What an old...

      I still like it very much, maybe this kind of military life plus love is a bit too much. The protagonist's best friend usually doesn't end well. I don't really believe that the Navy can condone this kind of atmosphere for a while ⬆️. At least now, the local officer selection schools are almost impossible to call...

    Movie plot

    Mayo's father was an irresponsible sailor, and he decided to apply for a naval pilot from his childhood.
    In the Naval Aviation Training School, Mayo and the others met with the strict training squad leader Black Furry. He immediately gave everyone a disarm, and told the young boys that local women would often trick them in order to marry a navy officer, reminding them to be careful of falling into a trap.
    The rigorous training is...

    Behind the scenes gags

    · On the advice of his agent, John Travolta refused to play Mayo in the film.
    · John Denver also refused to play the protagonist of the film because he said that the script reads like a story from the 1950s.
    · Lisa Marie Eilbacher (Lisa Eilbacher) said that when shooting obstacle training scenes, the most difficult thing is to camouflage body....

    Evaluation action

    The whole film is interspersed and developed with strict military training and romantic love. Although it can not escape the American popular drama model, it is still quite moving. The euphemistic and moving theme song also adds infinite tenderness to the film, becoming a popular love song. 
    The famous ending of the film may seem artificial, but it is real in the film and it couldn't be more appropriate.

    • Paula: You know something, you ain't nothing special. You got no manners, you treat woman like whores and if you ask me you got no chance of being no officer.
