Louis Gossett, Jr. won an Oscar for this.
Well deserved.
And totally deserved because he was fantastic! But even Gossett himself said he was disappointed that Gere was not only not nominated but that he should have won Best Actor. Totally agreed. Some of the best acting ever.. Gere was robbed of an Oscar but at least Gossett was rewarded for his amazing performance.
AN WELL DESERVED 💯!!!🏆
RIP LOUIS GOSSETT JR AND THANK YOU.
Sadly they don’t mention the Sid Worley character played by David Keith, Sid without a doubt is another influence on Gere as they become close friends up to his tragic end that would effect Zack Mayo forever...Definitely an 80’s favorite! Holds up still today...
I fully agree. Sid is the foil to Mayo; without Sid and his tragedy, we wouldn't witness Mayo's realization that he has come full circle and is a human being with real emotions.
Totally true. He's the first friend that Zach ever had. It's something that Foley is trying to instill in him, that you can't make it through life completely on your own.
I can't unsee GREEN for the rest of the day. Thanks Roger.
LOL
Wish they had thrown a nice mention out to David Keith for his role of Sid, a very good and heart wrenching performance as Mayo’s closest friend...
Such a great and moving film. I saw it for the first time a couple if days ago , and i haven't stopped thinking about. Unfortunately I was 3 years old when it came out , and its taken me all these years to see it. It was well worth the wait.
Saw in in the theater! Loved it and still consider it in my top 3 of all time
I just recently rewatched this for the first time in a many number of years. Lou Gossett Jr's performance was beyond phenomenal. And while we learned years later that Debra Winger was not all that enthralled with Richard Gere, it certainly worked on screen for them. .
Lou Gossett, Jr. was easily the best part of this movie. Definitely deserved his Oscar.
1982 - character arc
2022 - what's that?
Where's his super powers?!
2022 - People don’t change. That’s racist.
They were right about how this movie almost singlehandedly brought back Romance to the industry. Since the late 60s (i.e., post-Code), the subject had been seen as corny and old-fashioned. The maudlin hit "Love Story" (1971, iirc) was ridiculed throughout the decade, despite its financial success, so studios didn't really try that again. "Officer", however, made romance believable, and earned.
They were both spot on about this movie. One of the great movies of the 1980s.
mrnocal probably one of the best movies of 1982
I agree.
Debra Winger was gorgeous in this film
The funny thing is I heard that Gere and Winger did not like each other.
Debra Winger hated making this film and refused to do any promotion for it.
well Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey didn't like each other either during Dirty Dancing & probably Red Dawn also
They did not get along well at all during production. Time has healed the wounds between them. Makes it even more amazing because they created terrific onscreen chemistry leading to one of cinema's greatest love story's.
I heard Deb had the hots for Gere and he did not so you know women.
@@chicovoylez3216 added much reality to their characters and the story.
Richard here was phenomenal here
4:05, shows you how good richard gere and Debra Winger are as actors, they should a lot of chemistry in that movie yet I heard they couldn't stand each other on set.
Richard Gere is the most underrated actor to emerge from Hollywood in the past 40 years.
I agree it was a crime he wasn’t nominated for Officer even his costar Lou Gossett who won an Oscar for his performance even said so.
His drill instructor was a Marine not a navy man. The Marines send Drill Instructors to train Naval Officers but they themselves are Marines
Good film but I didnt find the idea of his friend dropping out of OCS on the last week to marry a townie and what, take her home to work in the family business or whatever? How did he not see her rejecting that idea and how could you blame her? He couldn't wait for graduation to marry her? Is she wondering if shes going to marry a guy that makes knee jerk decisions for the rest of their lives
He thought she was carrying his baby and was in love with him. As he said, he only joined to appease his parents. Your hero lied to him about her being pregnant.
Nice shirt Ebert lol.
Yeah! Whoosh! Where’s Kermit?
Hulk!
Grandma wants her sweater back❗❗❗❗
Two thumbs down for that sweater, makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
Just shows how uninformed people are about stuff, especially the Military. Louis Gossett JR does NOT portray a Navy Drill Sgt. Louis Gossett JR Portrays a Marine Corps Drill Instructor a Gunnery Sgt to be exact. Being that the Marines are a Dept of the Navy it makes perfect sense that a Marine Corps Drill Instructor would be training Naval Officer Candidates. Being that Gene Siskel was in the Army I can’t believe he didn’t call Roger out on that.
This movie has some very important and quite unexpected lessons, that illuminate some illogical things that take place in employment. For that reason, this movie should be required viewing for all college and high school students. This movie demonstrates the concept that: when an employer wants to get rid of an unwanted employee, they do not terminate them. Rather, they get that unwanted employee to quit. Additionally, this situation may turn into a battle of wits and wills. as clearly shown in this movie.
I know this from many experiences. In fact, I am considering writing a book on this subject.
As I watched this movie, the first half I found rather cliche, predictable and shallow...like a typical oversexed 80s flick (Porkys on a military base)...but as I continued I discovered that was all apart of the setup for the sublime 2nd half as Mayo endures heartbreak, tragedy and falls in love and he doesn't want to be his father's son. Truly a beautiful movie.
I have no idea where you're going with the Porky's comparison. That is definitely original if nothing else, lol
This video reminds me why I hate sweaters.
Interesting how Ebert mentions the chemistry -- because Winger and Gere apparently did not get along at all on set.
Not quite true. She was frustrated that he was holding back in his performance, but they do like each other. He later agreed with her.
@@lenblack1462 They might get along and like each other just fine now -- but they didn't when the movie was being made.
Thank you
Classic all-time movie
I 💯 % ❤, ❤, ❤ This Movie!! 👨🏿✈️👨🏻✈️
Let's not forget the beautiful sex scene between Gere and Winger. She is so beautiful.
💚
4:56 Uhhhhh sorry Roger but we've a new Administration. That notion just isn't going to fly anymore. :P
🤣
Presumably, you're a straight person who is making the joke that "a boy and a girl falling in love" ain't going to fly anymore under the Biden administration. Why is that? Why did you hear that and the first thing that pop into your mind be "something something homosexuals?"
Because I've noticed this interesting phenomena where innocuous things are said and 9/10 times, it's a presumably straight, conservative person who makes a point out of saying, oh boy, the queers are going to get their panties in a twist about that one. It's almost never actually the queers who are offended, it's random strawman dummy suckerpunch dogpiling.
Or is it saying something else about the poster's psyche that LGBTQ+ issues are constantly at the forefront of their mind? IDK...
