Men of Honor

Today I'm going talk about a film, that I watched on tv yesterday . The name of the film is Men of honor, this film is about Carl Brashear decides to leave his lifestyle in his native Kentucky in 1948 and the life of a sharecropper by way of joining the United States Navy, where he is assigned to the galley.

He is determined to overcome racism and become the first African American Navy diver, even proclaiming that he will become a Master Diver. He finds that Master Chief Sunday is the Leading Chief Petty Officer and head instructor, who is under orders from the school's eccentric commanding officer to ensure that Brashear fails.

Unfortunately, due to the prevailing racism of the commanding officer, the student who fled in the face of danger is awarded a medal for Brashear's heroic actions.

The paths and careers of both Brashear and Sunday sharply diverge as Brashear rises quickly through the ranks, even becoming a national hero in recovering a missing atomic bomb and for saving the life of Navy crew, while the latter becomes a brooding alcoholic and is reduced in rank from Master Chief to Chief Petty Officer. The two eventually meet again after Brashear loses his left leg in the atomic bomb incident and must fight the US Navy bureaucracy in order to return to full active duty and fulfill his dream of becoming a master diver. They are successful and Brashear is reinstated.

For me this film is very important because its a gives a lesson of getting what you propose. For example Carl Brasher, who gets his dreams.
