Men of Honor

Watching some "old" movies with the kid that have a little more subtlety than Pacific Rim, now that he's getting a little older.

This one has Rod Tidwell playing Carl Brashear, the first black guy in the Navy to do something other than cook or shine shoes. He became a Navy Diver.

"A Navy diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert."

His nemesis/hero is Deniro, playing a fucked up racist cracker Master Chief.

It's a good lesson for a young boy about how honor counts, and don't ever, EVER fucking quit.

Saw this many a time in the old Plasma Cine. As far as DeNiro movies go, it's better than Rocky and Bullwinkle but not by much.
