My grandfather was a Navy diver during WW 1. He never spoke of it, not with scorn nor with brag. He was a man of honor who did a job until it was done. When he was discharged he went on to marry, make a living, and he died a gentleman at the age of 98. That was 21 years ago, and I still miss him every day. Rest In Peace, Woodfin Grady Kilgore.
@@shawnr888 Thank you. So few people honestly respect those who have served in the armed services, including our own government, who so frequently forget what they asked and received from these men and women who gave so much of themselves. Faint praise is damning indeed when these service personelle are in need and our government says 'prove it'. My grandfather earned his respect every day of his life. Thank you for noticing, and even more for saying so.
This scene is very encouraging for those of us who have and still work to overcome physical, mental or other bodily obstacles to reach a goal that others say is impossible.
As an example and update, I am now 46 years old and even as a teen I couldn't do even one unassisted pull up. After doing a training regimen to build the proper strength, I didn't do one unassisted pull up. I did 2 unassisted pull up at age 46. In case you're wondering, for whatever reason I didn't have the know how to build up to that until now.
@Cyrus McWind I'm white, I was very moved and motivated by the fact that this man with all odds against him, proved everyone wrong with strength and passion for his job and country
A Navy diver is not a fighting man. He’s a salvage expert! If it’s lost under water, 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 ft beneath the waves, for that is the closest he will ever get to being a hero! Hell, I don’t know why anybody would want to be Navy diver! Now you report to this line, Cookie!
Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Master Chief Brashear several times a couple months before his death. What an amazing man with amazing stories. A true legend.
i'm now a retired Army Sergeant and I would do the same to my soldiers when they wanted to quit on themselves...if it was pushups your gonna give me what we set to achieve...if it was running your gonna run the distance and finish..you can do it in pain, you can do it in tears but YOU WILL DO IT!
Nothing in a film portrays honor, respect, dignity, friendship and all of the above better than this clip. I welled up when I first watched it and always will...just brilliant acting.
His role as the airship captain in 'Stardust' is so totally opposite this one it's unbelievable... which spotlights Deniro's range as an actor. He's a true treasure.

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time. The courage, strength and willpower of the navy diver coupled with the unwavering belief in him displayed by his Commander gets me every time! Iconic performances by Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert Dinero.
I like The Finest Hours with Chris Pine made in 2016. Remember that? 2016? When we all were clueless to what was coming? We thought it was challenging then...
I've seen this movie many times and I'm not the one to cry or feel emotional but damn every time I see this it brings happiness to me. Also if anyone is confused on why he is slow his leg was amputated and the suit it's is like 800 lbs
People just don't get it .... to have your chief believe in you more importantly to be proud of you is something unexplainable you have to see it and witness it
Honor can be a hard thing to pin down these days, so much hatred and infighting. This scene reminds me of what honor should be, what it should look like. This man's honor and courage is palpable, amazing performance.
best and first amputee black diver to make master chief.carl brasher you are the best god rest his soul he is my biggest influence for scuba diving and to never give up and fight for what you want
LOGAN IRONSIDE ,had the honor of meeting him in 1984,on the pier with the ships bos'n,he was a mean azz dude,but in the long run,i learned alot,became that guy when it came to subs,and at the time my divo,was a diver.
“At ease!” *Master Chief petty officer Carl Brashear from the US Navy who was the first African American to reach Master Diver qualification which is the highest an enlisted Navy diver can attain… proceeds to face plant on him*
@Morgan Oates why? Is he not a guy in gear? Did you feel like I disrespected him with my comment? I was just trying to ease the tension or make alittle smile after such an emotion filled scene
@Dustin Reid the only dramatized moments was Sunday never existed and was made up 4 or 5 people into one. The hearing was only the 12 steps. There was the argument to be reinstated, the test to be done there sono one could say he cheated and that was it. He did the steps and was put back to active. The entire thing was 5-10 minutes
Just watching this movie right now on t.v. I met Cuba Gooding junior in Vancouver, on the corner of Georgia and granville street, I asked him and his two friends if they wanted to buy weed, he smiled with the corner of his mouth like he does, and they gave me all their change....I didn't know who he was, but whenever theres a movie with him in it, I watch it. He was very sweet to me...Cuba- if yer out there- I love you!!
You see this pipe? General MacArthur himself smoked this pipe. I served with him in Leyte Gulf. Biggest naval battle in history. Kamikaze ripped into this escort carrier, name of Saint Lo. She went down on a shallow reef, trapping me and six boys in the fire room. Only one way out. Flood the compartment and swim up. Five decks, cookie. Five fuckin' decks. Locked bulkheads, dead bodies everywhere. You got to have your balls screwed on tight for that swim. We still had intercom. Old MacArthur himself came over that squawk box, "Sunday, you cocky son of a bitch, I bet you can't hold your breath for four minutes and swim out ofthere." Know what I said back ? "No, Mac, I can't, but I'll bet you your cob pipe I can hold it for five, 'cause that's what it's gonna take, motherfucker. Favourite part
I was a senior in high school when this movie came out. I ran track. 100 meter high hurdles. My coach came up to me before a race and asked me, "You think you can run this in 13.10 and win it?" I said, "No...but I run in it 13 flat because that's what it's goona take." He laughed and slapped me on the back saying, "Then you report to that line, cookie."
I remember, I have watched this movie back in 2000 on it's premiere night here in the philippines, and i remember that scene, when Cuba Gooding Jr was able to complete that 12 steps, everyone inside the theater was clapping, and some foreigners gave him a standing ovation, maybe them theirselves used to served to their country as well🥰👍❤️
I'm a recent amputee. I've watched this clip over and over, remembering that Carl Brashear was also a Kentuckian, like me. He's the inspiration I'm using to learn how to walk again and do things I took for granted, with two functional legs. I will not let anyone or anything stop me.
One of the greatest showcases of racism transformed to admiration.. A true man can only RESPECT A MAN whom shows discipline, courage and perseverance regardless of how many obstacles put in front of him to kill his character... I LOVE THIS MOVIE STILL TO THIS DAY... 2 OF THE BEST ACTORS OF ALL TIME AS WELL... ROBERT AND CUBAN
Every ship i was on either TDY or assigned to for my 5 years enlisted in the navy played this movie at least once every underway on the mess deck. Civilians may not know Carl Brashear, but you would have been hard pressed in my day not to find a sailor who didn't know the story, even if they couldn't remember master chief's name.
This is absolutely amazing. Fantastic movie and maximum respect to Carl Brashear's unbelievable achievement and his determination to reach his dreams!!!
I've got a bunch of movies on my rack, I've had good ones that I've gotten rid of or lost or were stolen from me, but one movie I'll never get rid of is this movie.
My dad was a WWII USN UDT (Hardhat Underwater Demolition and Salvage Diver) and SeaBee stationed on Okinawa. He loved the US Marines he worked along side and always spoke very highly of them... for my dad i say thank you to the US Marines.
they don't make men like that anymore I wish I could shake the hand of that man rest in peace Carl Brashear your service will never be forgotten to this country because men like you helped build the courage behind the uniform your courage lives on today as United States Navy diver
@Dustin Reid I said, the thing about peace is besides the point. Also not all of us get to be inspired with heroes, I’m not saying nobody has the “push” I’m sayin not nearly enough people have a will power like the man in this movie, and again I’m not saying people don’t have will power
Best movie I've ever seen.. recommended to everyone. This is a story about a "person" who just don't want to give up on anything. and it can be applied to anyone who has "goals" in life
Esse filme é inspiração para muitas pessoas. É um excelente filma, e lembro dos meus 18 anos onde servi na Brigada de Infantaria Paraquedista no Brasil. Estive no 26º BI PQDT 3º CIA. Lembro que quando alguém queria desistir, palavras renovadoras de energias vinha dos Instrutores que viam no futuro Paraquedista militar, que ele tinha condições de prosseguir, só ele que não sabia disso. Foi uma dos melhores aprendizados. Onde é ensinado: Honra, Disciplina, Ética e ter moral. Servi a minha pátria por seis anos. E faria tudo de novo. Brasil Acima de Tudo e Deus Acima de Todos.

The chemistry between Cuba and De Niro was absolutely perfect in this movie.

A Navy diver is not a fighting man. He’s a salvage expert! If it’s lost under water, 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 ft beneath the waves, for that is the closest he will ever get to being a hero! Hell, I don’t know why anybody would want to be Navy diver!

so inspirational that they named an addiction recovery program after this
Wow! That’s so cool!
i'm now a retired Army Sergeant and I would do the same to my soldiers when they wanted to quit on themselves...if it was pushups your gonna give me what we set to achieve...if it was running your gonna run the distance and finish..you can do it in pain, you can do it in tears but YOU WILL DO IT!

Gives me chills brilliantly acted by both Cuba and Robert
Boy Deniro can act. He nailed this role
One of the few where he actually does a bit of a character instead of just playing himself.
One of the best to ever do it.
His role as the airship captain in 'Stardust' is so totally opposite this one it's unbelievable... which spotlights Deniro's range as an actor. He's a true treasure.
I played this before going to get something from the fridgerator, thanks DeNiro.

I like The Finest Hours with Chris Pine made in 2016.
Remember that? 2016?
When we all were clueless to what was coming?
We thought it was challenging then...
I'm sure they'll make more movies if they find people who are worthy of honor. Not many people left of this caliber in this day and age
Hav you seen Top Gun: Maverick made in 2022? Yeah they do still make films that inspire others just so few due to the doomed woke ideology.
@davidhacking-bonilla8325 Great movie I'll give you that but Top Gun Maverick didn't exist when I posted this comment

290 lbs its spun copper.

This will forever be one of the best scenes in cinematic history.
The best moment in this story a man never gave up even under pressure and on one good leg.

Cuba Gooding Jr was brave enough to walk 12 steps in that diving suit in the movie Men Of Honor.
Don't it make you cry? I do every time I watch that part. It's something about a leader that raises another leader to stand strong.
