      Inspirational Biopic

      Analyzing Story Mode:

      Act 1: Use flashbacks to clearly explain the characters of the two protagonists: the family of the black Carl; and why the Master Chief was handcuffed. Carl's family environment, and his father's expectations for his success.

      As the protagonist of Carl, he has a clear goal: to become a senior sergeant of the Navy. But he had to face the racial culture in the military and the rigorous training of the diving school.

      At the third of the story, the pace...

      Strangle fate by the throat, instead of bowing to it

      I watched this movie half a year ago, and my first impression after watching it was that this black man did not give in to fate and lived out himself.

      In the United States, racism is prevalent. Especially in the military, it is even more discriminatory against black people, but our protagonist Carl has a dream of becoming a member of the US Navy. He went, and reality gave him a heavy blow on the road to realize his dream: black people can only Be a crewman on a boat. The treatment he...

      [Picture of mustard greens] Achievement from injustice

      There is an incompatible antithesis in this world, that is, if you want to achieve much, you must suffer the same amount of suffering.

      Because the principle of gain and loss is the constant law of the universe, if you want to gain, you must first lose.

      There will be gains and losses, and there will be losses.

      However, after entering the last and final era, after many factors have mutated, this law has been pushed to the opposite extreme.

      That’s it. If you want to...

      unyielding life

      I watched this movie in a training class some time ago. It is an old movie that I have never noticed before. The plot is relatively simple. It tells the brilliant and unyielding life of the first diver in American history, but it really touched me deeply. and a lot of thinking. First, regarding the power of dreams, dreams are a bit elusive to me. To put it bluntly, I don’t even know what my dreams are, but I feel the power of Carl’s dreams and support him all the way. Don't give up. Second, the...

      The biggest failure is not the bloody script, but the hiring of such a disgusting black actor cuba. If there is no De Niro and Theron, I am afraid no one will survive to the...

    Movie plot

    Carl Brashir ( Cuba Gooding Jr ) was born into a poor family of black tenant farmers. When he was young, he was deeply attracted by the U.S. Navy and enlisted to serve in the military. When he first entered the barracks, he discovered that he was inside the navy. It was not as beautiful as he had imagined. There were shadows of racial discrimination everywhere, and even the work of ship crews had to exclude black people. The harsh...

    Movie quotes

    • Carl Brashear: Forgive me sir, but to me, the Navy isn't a business. It's an organization of people who represent the finest aspects of our nation. We have many traditions. In my career, I have encountered most of them. Some are good, some not so good. I would, however not be here today were it not for our greatest tradition of all.

      Captain Hanks: And what would that be, Chief Brashear?"

      Carl Brashear: " Honor, sir"

    • Billy Sunday: You know what the Chinese say, cookie? Beware what you wish for.

    • Carl Brashear: Why are you doing all this?
