This is a great film, well acted and based on the real life of Carl Brashear. If you ever want to know how hard it must have been for a black man in the american armed forces this is one of the movies that will show you.
Carl Brashear has to overcome racism, disability, heartache and downright ignorance of the times. What he overcomes will amaze you as it sure did to me, he achieves his sole ambition in life to become a Master Diver.
His achievement as I have said is not without suffering greatly at the hands of people determined to see him fail. This film most probably only shows and gets across some of what Carl Brashear had to go through and overcome. One of the nice things about this movie is that Carl Brashear himself is the key military consultant to the movie and that Cuba Gooding Jr actually did some real training to be a navy diver.
Envy Carl Brashear the mans achievements and determination to achieve his goals in life as I certainly do.............
