i bought the dvd men of honor its a great movie and it Came fast and worked fine it was a gift that brought them to tears A++ The movie is great to start with and i liked it too
bonus fetures were odd but alternate endings rock !
I watch this movie whenever I need a good cry. I know it's silly for a man like me to say that, but Cuba Gooding, Jr. portrayed Carl Brashear with such conviction, that you couldn't help but cry. Robert DeNiro did an excellent job of playing a man that you respected and hated all at the same time.
This movie is a must in my movie collection. A peice worth seeing time after time and analyzing part by part, piece by piece.
The quality performance made by Gooding Jr. and Diniro are at the height of expressing the moment which all finds us to answer the question of how we will respond to life's pinnacle turning points and our willingness to welcome struggle, and challenges POSITIVELY and OPENLY without returning hatred, that will literally alter our human spirit to an ever rewarding level. (A good and healthy way to break the cycle of hate.)
A delicate balance. Literally changing us upward forever and becoming the living example of POSITIVE STRENTH for young and old to follow suit in their own lives to touch others as well.
In Gooding's character I see him drawing his strength from God and holding on to preserving the benefits for humanity, love of family and knowing first hand that the goal is to stay clear of dead end roads and to believe in taking a chance worth fighting for for basic survival day to day and spiritually.
It is quite unhealthy and dehumanizing to box in and shut light out of another person, but with strength and determination and pureness of heart in desire to overcome, can always turn ill intensions of one and be made into the light, for the darkness of another and directly for your oposers (reguardless of who or how). Just by shear example at the least.
A FIVE STAR QUALITY FILM FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN SPIRIT! :-)
THIS MOVIE SHOWS THE WAY BOTH THESE ACTORS CAN TRULY CAPTURE A PART AND BECOME THAT PERSON THIS IS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE AND THATS WHY I FIND IT TO BE ONE OF MY TOP TEN MOVIES OF ALL TIME,THANX
Wonderful movie. A lot of action with a good story. The actors make you hate or love them. You find yourself getting mad a the charters. This movie is one you can see really happening. It will give you the chills.
I purchased this for my daughter, she kept raving about it. Of course I watched it with her. I must give this movie 5*****. Although it was made in 2001, I just recently watched it. It was WELL beyond my expectations. The plot and cast were simply outstanding. There is lessons to be learned in this movie. It is heart warming, encouraging and will remind anyone who watches it the importance of strength, determination and the ability to overcome any obstacles. "Things are not always what they seem"...so true! If your looking for a GREAT movie, this must be one of them. I think knowing this is a true story, makes it that much better! 5 STARS!
I love this movie...I've seen it about 20 times! Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr. are amazing!! This is the kind of movie I could watch over and over again. Such a great movie, with an awesome ending!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME, I LOVE DENIRO, HE IS SO INTENSE. I COULD NOT FIND THIS THROUGH MY REGULAR CLUB SELECTIONS, SO I BOUGHT IT HERE ON EBAY, AND WILL BUY MORE.

Men Of Honor
Review created: 11/12/04
by: mcmaster -- a member of Epinions
Pros: A very good story that is based on the life on Carl Brashear, superb acting.
Cons: -----------------------
Master Chief Sunday: The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero.

DeNiro and Gooding Go Diving for Greatness
Review created: 05/29/01
by: Grouch -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Gooding and DeNiro give good, thoughtful performances
Cons: George Tillman directs the movie with a ham fist inside a velvet glove
This Memorial Day weekend, I decided to see a movie that would boil the patriotic blood in my veins one that would make me walk a little taller, a little prouder as I thought of all the sacrifices our men and women have made in the name of freedom, duty and honor. And so, I watched a movie that was as full of heroism as an overstuffed turkey. That movie was Men of Honor. The biopic about Carl Brashear, the first black Navy diver, may not have had as big a budget nor as many overpaid stars as its box office counterpart Pearl Harbor, but it certainly waved just as many flags and squeezed just...

It Will Make Your Heart Soar!

Pros: Very well acted, good story, very uplifting, good cast.
Cons: None that I found
Last night I watched the video "Men of Honor," in which Cuba Gooding, Jr gives, what I felt was an outstanding performance . He portrays a master diver in the United States Navy, the first African American to achieve this high-ranking position. His character, Carl Brashear, shows us how many obstacles one can overcome (including racism and a crippling injury), and just how indomitable the human spirit can be. He shows us how one can do all this and achieve his life's dream and in doing so make military history! It is truly a remarkable movie that lifted my spirits! The movie begins with Carl..

Racism Is Bad
Review created: 04/27/01
by: Sloucho -- a member of Epinions
Pros: It's not even good that <i>Men of Honor</i> tries to teach a good lesson,
Cons: . . . since it stumbles so badly in the attempt.
Rant Men of Honor should almost certainly have been made by HBO, since every other HBO film treats the subject of how blacks have gotten a raw deal in America. Unfortunately, HBO isn't the only media-purveyor to have discovered the 'safe haven' of films that purport to be anti-racist. I do not mean to suggest that the racial inequities of American history are insignificant, but I will say that it is just as possible to trivialize a subject by talking about it too much as it is to minimize it by refusing to discuss it at all. Take Lady Diana, for instance. She never did me any personal wrong,..

MEN OF HONOR: Cuba Gooding Jr.'s "ROCKY"
Review created: 08/02/01
by: Ed.Williamson -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Cuba and Robert giving electrifying performances as two sea-dogs in a ferocious dogfight.
Cons: Maybe a little too flag-waving at times.
Men of Honor is a very fine movie that every American and lots of other people should see if they want to really understand America. It tells the story of Carl Brashears, a mentally and physically tough young black man who came into his own in the U.S. Navy in the 50's and 60's in America and who broke the color line in naval diving. "Naval diving?" I can hear you thinking. "And THAT's supposed to make for an exciting movie? Thanks, but I'll go watch The Fast And The Furious one more time." Well, go ahead if you want to, but you'll miss the story of a lifetime. Carl Brashears' lifetime,...
