“The Navy diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, 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 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero.”

A tribute to one of the stories that shaped me. I was lucky enough to see this at a young age with my father and it made lasting impression. Our history is fortified with humans who have sacrificed an incomprehensible amount. The ghosts of our past demand we learn from our mistakes and build a future not doomed to repeat them.

I believe stories (and how we share them) have the ability to reshape our lives and teach us lessons that we might normally not come upon without hardship. The human capacity for cruelty has always troubled me. I will continue to make more videos/photos in the hope that I can offer something positive to the world, however small. This, is what I love doing.

A father's love goes unnoticed
Muy cierto hermano
Everybody talks about a mother's love for their child And everybody forgets about a father's sacrifice for their family. My father was just a poor Italian immigrant who served in the American Military for his citizenship Rest in Peace Dad you always be my hero... a son never forgets Forza Italia
I'm sorry to hear about your father and very grateful for his service. Thank you for sharing your story.
"A daughter NEVER forgets" ADNF
@Pedro Ivan Sanchez Not the right comment thread. We're talking about positive father sacrifice. maybe you were too young to understand what he was trying to teach you. Maybe you were impatient. Maybe it was you man. My father works 13 hours a day to provide for us, and does it mon-fri with open availability for consulting on the weekends. If you don't know what fatherly sacrifice is do not come in tainting a comment thread as you have.
Bravo!!!!!!!
@@Onlyhiphopbrendan " We're talking about positive father sacrifice." - Why this is missing in current generation. The family brought up single mothers, they have caused this. The father figure is missing. Thus we have the current woke degenerate society. Father figure aka patriarchy is not an option but required for human existence and advancement.
“Why you want it so bad?” Brashear: “because they said I couldn’t have it”
Doesn't get any more American than that.
My favorite line in the movie as well😇😇❤

....The whole thing MANY people miss in this wonderful movie, I suppose especially black folks but maybe I am wrong so at least some or many white folks now a days is that I know of at least a good portion as they can not even get to the stage to see thru the smoke in since the movie is, well - regarding this whole topic in general, at least... This is unlike myself... (I am NOT special however I thank GOD for this, to have blessed me with wisdom & love as well as integrity in certain areas of life as I sure can use it to balance the bad I probably have also in other areas but yet to see for MYSELF to correct?) ... is that Robert Deniro's character is NOT a story of a man "changing" from holding bogus and irrational racist sentiments, not even at the START but yet a man who had a superior pressuring him, holding power over him even to the point of losing his position over it... (OLD-MAN, who absolutely was from an ending time decently long ago now as none of the "Greatest Generations" people are still alive these days although we are blessed with some and surely maybe even cursed with some as well) ... As back then I hear and read a decent amount whether TRUE in nature or "JUST" (HAH) ..following the CONSENSUS and being WEAK or NOT, at the end of the day, it still is what it is, eh? ... So, I am saying, many unfortunately did hold this thought-process in one way or the other however I would like to think the majority of that minority that was still a strong enough minority or large enough that it really, really COUNTED and shows in history as they were - were - lied to at best and worst just unfair idiots not having the courage to stand up like Deniro in the start, this story is indeed about Deniro's charterer over-coming the power the people with power over him for the greater good and righteous securing the win in the end with his battle to eventually not even care if he lost it all for this other "man / young boy who he really liked, dare I say loved in ways and also admired and to NOT give into the what seems to be over-all consensus back during his seniors "generation" before as he did not feel that way even at the start unlike the others who seemed at least pressured into it then ABLE to for whatever reasoning they came up with ... (MOSTLY, probably because of them being "sheep's" & also wanting to pass Them-selves just the SAME and be seen with good energy themselves, which is tragic as they picked the wrong side there) ...be, well racist or par-taking in racist sentiments at best and I am sure a few this was at "BEST" which again, sad.... this is all probably stemming from the inherent racist "old man" running the show with a few screws loose and also and mainly with Deniros admiration and dare I say even ... LOVE for the boy .. (after what was just a very short time actually) ...Deniro seeing him as JUST another man but a sdpecial one as he was as in the "man" and "man only" himself - is what I think Deniro SAW ... FROM THE START ... (no color seen) Deniro saw Cookies Determination, integrity, love, passion, hard-lined good spirit and so many more beautiful attributes that "COOKIE" brought with him as were part of him, usually with a smile on his face no matter how hard ...it was or became... thus deniro again as stated above grew to not only respect him more & even MORE ... with this horrible dilemma himself he had looming over him and his own fate because of cookie as he seen it at the start but only to grow VERY fast into not only admiration but even love / respect for cookie I would argue this occurred FAST in the movie even prior to him dunking cookies head in the water and saying for him to leave or basically something "similar to it in so many words or not OR ....actions!!) ...as again, in his views ATM due to the truly racist "Over-Lord so to speak that they ALL had - it created a little anger thus the scene where he takes him out of the bunker after making him sleep alone eventually after the cool irish guy was tossed out for sticking with him and doing the right thing NOT only because it is right but totally UNSURE at first why it was even happening showing how far ahead the Irish guys thinking process really WAS..... (which EVERYONE saw how the irish guy was unjustly tested and scorned after... (and these other folks are also just young impressionable boys or young men at best) ...but back to diniro again, what is the second part of the movie people miss, it is also about him LOVING the young man / boy so much and being so pressured and frustrated which eventually led to him feeling "scared and / or worried for Cookie that he actually saw no recourse but to try to "Get him to leave on his own accord by being completely and overly harsh like he would of prob done to his own son even in certain scenarios" as just to get him to LEAVE to PROTECT him with Cookie eventually showing him, NO "FATHER-FIGURE" I know your good, I am standing right here and will NOT LEAVE, I trust you and see the GOOD within and know your situation, we can do this, why won't you do this with me, take a leap of faith, FIGHT BACK YOU BUM(!) ...with me as I know you want too and that is EXACTLY what "Cookie" had done got Deniro to do, break free from his own oppression by the racist overlord in the movie we do not see to much .. (thank GOD) ...this is what it was about, not diniro overcoming racist thoughts as IMO he NEVER had them in this movie however he truly thought it "impossible" for him to be able to pass him and him have a good life NO MATTER how well he tried or how well he did and by that point he already wanted nothing but the best and better for him, cookie gave him a way out of that and it worked, they HELPED each other so much and imo COOKIE had two fathers in this movie as it even shows when he has to take the twelve unreasonable steps in the courtroom how nervous he was for him but also that he was still being the same ole 'captain" or whatever he was as a higher rank to him and father-some too him still with the yelling in a stern but encouraging way where COOKIE let out tear is one of the most beautiful and touching moments to me, I LOVE IT.... I also LOVE when he see's himself inside of cookies face when they have the little battle and see's cookies persistance is just as strong as his, like looking in the mirror! Does anyone else see what I see now too as in diniro overcame many things but racism was not one of them for his character - re watch the movie folks and think about it.... I know MY FATHER would of done something(s) also to try to get me to leave a nightmare place he truly felt there was no hope for me as he could not be there all the time to save him from my OWN team mates per se NO MATTER HOW GOOD I PERFORMED & LOVED just made it ALL the sadder as the movie progressed, it shows you how being strong and sticking thru something so hard and that it is so important to stick the course but not in an angry way but a loving way with compassion and empathy for even your enemies to a degree as in the enemies, the sheep following the true and real racist in the movie due to pressure, Cookie prevailed and was liberated and vindicated in the END because he was not only RIGHT but he was able to teach "CAPTAIN Deniro" some beautiful lessons on the HUMAN spirit that binds us all and is in us ALL whether you believe it or not, he did it with integrity, love and CLASS, it worked, Deniro had Cookie as his fave student almost at the start and to me it showed as in all the trials of different ways he went thru to try to "spare him" thus he thought anyway, you can sometimes make the wrong move - with good intentions and this was one of those cases, "ASNF" - I get it mostly and love that however can somebody go into depth about the ASNF part for me as I just built my 14 y/o son I do not see all to often a $7100 dollar gaming PC it took a long time to build so he knew I was doing it but thought it was for me as he came for visits all this time now he knows its done and for him - just have to get it to him" and I was thinking of marking it with something cool anyway and my gut says ASNF would be a cool edition or am I out of line and should not do this on his PC he will cherish... (and enjoy which is most satisfying to ME as the Father) ... and love and probably have for two decades... Anyway, beautiful movie! ...... Superb story telling..... BTW: Please somebody, thoughts? I need this HELP.... BTW: One thing I forgot to mention, the way Cookie taught him it is indeed worth not selling out and being a SHEEP ' no matter what is on the table / The LIne if YOU in your heart like cookie did, feel it the right thing a.k.a. Integrity so when Cookie himself was willing to not give up or give in for anything EXCEPT ....for the Irish guy.... (another sorta random person but a human being indeed) ..that had already basically done the same for him teaching D'eniro, you can do it with the right support, we all can do it, they can not take US all ON! Sorta like the info that GOVERMENTS around the world do not want us to know as in again, they can not take us all on, as in UNITED! .....
That father is a hell of a man, really wanted his son to get a push in becoming something greater than himself. That's how you establish a strong bloodline
My father said the exact same words,this mentalitty must be inherited by the next generation to create a better world,whit strong carachter men.
@@chrismihai1944 I hope I'm the same way. I just want my son to grow up and not be like me.
@Michael Thornley he'll be good men,whit such a soul like yours who will up him,he will turn alright. Good bless you!
Just like my father
Just like my father
"Make me a promise, don't end up like me" 😭😭
That line hitted hard!
Strong and painful
Deep
Power
Heavy
“I’ll come back, I’ll help mow the hay” “Don’t. Don’t ever come back here.” I’ve always remembered that line and it’s stuck with me. You really gotta love somebody if you’d rather never see them again than watch them become unhappy like you.
I agree with you.
Powerful
He didn't want Carl to quit and give up. He wanted him to be somebody. Then eventually return home.
Yes, so true.
Sad but true your statement was
My father died with his last breath telling me he loved me and how proud he is of me and to be strong now. As the doctors and nurses pushed me aside and the alarms going off as his heart stopped and his lungs just couldn’t do it anymore. I’ll never forget
Sorry for your loss.
“Because they said I couldn’t have it” one of the most powerful lines in a movie… inspiring…
That line totally 💯 got me the first time I heard it and every time thereafter
. MMB l.?.
"When it get hard....and it WILL. Dont quit on me" smh.... man, what a line
Yes sir!!!
"Make me a promise." "Sir?" "Don't end up like me." That kills me. He wants more for his son and knows/thinks he can't ever provide it. But he wants his son to do everything in his power to better his life. Powerful.
That's the line the has stuck with me the most I believe. The self sacrifice that could only come from unconditional love.
I feel very much as the father did....and as my fathers felt toward me.....become better than me This is my tru heart 4 my breath and my kids
One of Hollywood's best underrated all time actors hands down.

I think Morgan Freeman could have done a better job to be honest. But it was a bloody good movie and an excellent portrayal.
What is the name of the movie?

I never noticed this part
@@SmileyMT morgans old ass???? NO Cuba was perfect
Such a good actor, he was just unlucky that Hollywood gave roles to Will Smith over him
He at least has won an Oscar.
Great actor now snow dogs lol was a mistake
It makes the roles he did land more memorable. The ones I've seen and remember anyways. The old Tuskegee airmen movie..... pearl harbor. This.
I like his acting as John Carson
The problem was his ego was way to big he would turn down films thinking he was to good for the script and it was beneath his talents.... But after a while Hollywood directors forgot about him and he was left in the gutter incredible actor way to arrogant unfortunately
So sad people hated him for his skin color and couldn't see his love for what he did... God bless this man! He is a better man then most of us men claim to be.
That was how society was at his time.

Thank you , I heard u today ❤️
I hope every father leaves a message to their son or daughter that makes others ask "What did he say to you to make you try so hard?"
Before my dad passed he said son pray for me.
Mine before he passed and committing suicide he told my little Brother and I have the Best Of Life.
My father was cut off from me before he died, but regardless I will make him proud.
My father never told me any wise words as such he modelled character and integrity. My dad was my hero and I told him as much. I've seen him get hit hard by life get up dust it off and keep going. He was a giant of a man yet very humble. In fact never once did my dad ever lay a hand on me he didn't have to. I had so much respect for him I couldn't stand the thought of seeing disappointment in his eyes. Dad passed in 2015 but I know I will see him again. I have 2 daughters of my own both grown and married to good men. I did my best to raise them as my father had me. My walls are covered in cards and letters from my girls that say wonderful things about "dad" and it's hard to believe they're talking about me. But I know the truth Jesus had everything to do with it all. My advice to any man out there starting a family put God 1st everything else will fall into place.
My dad was cut of from me long before he died. But as a child, I saw him model good morals. I stand on that, above all his LOVE for GOD. ❤❤ may he rest in the LORD
He didnt get the medal but he gained the respect, that is by far the best thing you can get.
Just experienced something like this last month......this video has helped me to get myself motivated again....
It's really hard when you do something and someone else gets rewarded...
The way of the military. Medals.dont.mean jack shit. It's the men and women beside you that you wanna win that's real success
That damn dad is a beautiful person. Wish I had one like that.
I wish you had a dad like that.
Wish too. But our father is in Heaven.
I did. Didn't make for an easy life. I'll never have to wonder what I could be, I know. Didn't even realize that's what he was trying to do until just a few years ago.
I have watched this movie more times then i can remember. But it goes to show how determined he was as an individual to become what he wanted to be. It is truly an inspiring story
I agree; it remains one of the most influential movies of my life.
He never wanted to quit on his dad.
What is the name of the movie please?

Honored to hear that you enjoyed it; thank you for your service!
This movie wasn't about anything for me except to speak to courage, choices, and resilence to become successful. This movie was 'gigantic"!!
Perseverance as well.
Kids hate on Dad cause hes never around. Eventually you get old enough to realize he wanted to be, but wanted better for his sons
The Father is like a Very strong bow made of ironwood and the son is like the arrow placed on the bowstring by the Fathers hand that is propelled into the future for the Father to see what is possible in Love!
A beautiful film. When I was 12 my mum gave me a list of films to watch, classics from her generation. I'm going to do the same for my kids and this will definitely be on it
Hey 😁. Do you remember that list ?
Exactly my plan too.
Would you please let me in on the list of movies she gave you! My email is open - banjiscrolls@gmail.com. Thanks in anticipation. My classic collection include: A Man called Peter Pursuit of Happyness Time Changer Titans*
Would love to see that list George.
Could you respectfully share your mum's list please?

He only did not want to admit it but you are so ON THE MONEY! May I ask if you are older or younger? Great observation and not so simply seen, he absolutely was always proud and also knew he was not only the best diver or going to be but the best PERSON / SOUL there at that time and he liked or dare I even say "LOVED" him like a FATHER even when he was desperate and resorted to dunking his head under the water to get him to leave as he THOUGHT he was protecting him even if it made him HATE him, he would still "be protected" but "cookie" showed him - there is another way!... #AllWENeedIsLove ...heck the BEATLES may have been RIGHT long ago..
....The whole thing MANY people miss in this wonderful movie, I suppose especially black folks but maybe I am wrong so at least some or many white folks now a days is that I know of at least a good portion as they can not even get to the stage to see thru the smoke in since the movie is, well - regarding this whole topic in general, at least... This is unlike myself... (I am NOT special however I thank GOD for this, to have blessed me with wisdom & love as well as integrity in certain areas of life as I sure can use it to balance the bad I probably have also in other areas but yet to see for MYSELF to correct?) ... is that Robert Deniro's character is NOT a story of a man "changing" from holding bogus and irrational racist sentiments, not even at the START but yet a man who had a superior pressuring him, holding power over him even to the point of losing his position over it... (OLD-MAN, who absolutely was from an ending time decently long ago now as none of the "Greatest Generations" people are still alive these days although we are blessed with some and surely maybe even cursed with some as well) ... As back then I hear and read a decent amount whether TRUE in nature or "JUST" (HAH) ..following the CONSENSUS and being WEAK or NOT, at the end of the day, it still is what it is, eh? ... So, I am saying, many unfortunately did hold this thought-process in one way or the other however I would like to think the majority of that minority that was still a strong enough minority or large enough that it really, really COUNTED and shows in history as they were - were - lied to at best and worst just unfair idiots not having the courage to stand up like Deniro in the start, this story is indeed about Deniro's charterer over-coming the power the people with power over him for the greater good and righteous securing the win in the end with his battle to eventually not even care if he lost it all for this other "man / young boy who he really liked, dare I say loved in ways and also admired and to NOT give into the what seems to be over-all consensus back during his seniors "generation" before as he did not feel that way even at the start unlike the others who seemed at least pressured into it then ABLE to for whatever reasoning they came up with ... (MOSTLY, probably because of them being "sheep's" & also wanting to pass Them-selves just the SAME and be seen with good energy themselves, which is tragic as they picked the wrong side there) ...be, well racist or par-taking in racist sentiments at best and I am sure a few this was at "BEST" which again, sad.... this is all probably stemming from the inherent racist "old man" running the show with a few screws loose and also and mainly with Deniros admiration and dare I say even ... LOVE for the boy .. (after what was just a very short time actually) ...Deniro seeing him as JUST another man but a sdpecial one as he was as in the "man" and "man only" himself - is what I think Deniro SAW ... FROM THE START ... (no color seen) Deniro saw Cookies Determination, integrity, love, passion, hard-lined good spirit and so many more beautiful attributes that "COOKIE" brought with him as were part of him, usually with a smile on his face no matter how hard ...it was or became... thus deniro again as stated above grew to not only respect him more & even MORE ... with this horrible dilemma himself he had looming over him and his own fate because of cookie as he seen it at the start but only to grow VERY fast into not only admiration but even love / respect for cookie I would argue this occurred FAST in the movie even prior to him dunking cookies head in the water and saying for him to leave or basically something "similar to it in so many words or not OR ....actions!!) ...as again, in his views ATM due to the truly racist "Over-Lord so to speak that they ALL had - it created a little anger thus the scene where he takes him out of the bunker after making him sleep alone eventually after the cool irish guy was tossed out for sticking with him and doing the right thing NOT only because it is right but totally UNSURE at first why it was even happening showing how far ahead the Irish guys thinking process really WAS..... (which EVERYONE saw how the irish guy was unjustly tested and scorned after... (and these other folks are also just young impressionable boys or young men at best) ...but back to diniro again, what is the second part of the movie people miss, it is also about him LOVING the young man / boy so much and being so pressured and frustrated which eventually led to him feeling "scared and / or worried for Cookie that he actually saw no recourse but to try to "Get him to leave on his own accord by being completely and overly harsh like he would of prob done to his own son even in certain scenarios" as just to get him to LEAVE to PROTECT him with Cookie eventually showing him, NO "FATHER-FIGURE" I know your good, I am standing right here and will NOT LEAVE, I trust you and see the GOOD within and know your situation, we can do this, why won't you do this with me, take a leap of faith, FIGHT BACK YOU BUM(!) ...with me as I know you want too and that is EXACTLY what "Cookie" had done got Deniro to do, break free from his own oppression by the racist overlord in the movie we do not see to much .. (thank GOD) ...this is what it was about, not diniro overcoming racist thoughts as IMO he NEVER had them in this movie however he truly thought it "impossible" for him to be able to pass him and him have a good life NO MATTER how well he tried or how well he did and by that point he already wanted nothing but the best and better for him, cookie gave him a way out of that and it worked, they HELPED each other so much and imo COOKIE had two fathers in this movie as it even shows when he has to take the twelve unreasonable steps in the courtroom how nervous he was for him but also that he was still being the same ole 'captain" or whatever he was as a higher rank to him and father-some too him still with the yelling in a stern but encouraging way where COOKIE let out tear is one of the most beautiful and touching moments to me, I LOVE IT.... I also LOVE when he see's himself inside of cookies face when they have the little battle and see's cookies persistence is just as strong as his, like looking in the mirror! Does anyone else see what I see now too as in diniro overcame many things but racism was not one of them for his character - re watch the movie folks and think about it.... I know MY FATHER would of done something(s) also to try to get me to leave a nightmare place he truly felt there was no hope for me as he could not be there all the time to save him from my OWN team mates per se NO MATTER HOW GOOD I PERFORMED & LOVED just made it ALL the sadder as the movie progressed, it shows you how being strong and sticking thru something so hard and that it is so important to stick the course but not in an angry way but a loving way with compassion and empathy for even your enemies to a degree as in the enemies, the sheep following the true and real racist in the movie due to pressure, Cookie prevailed and was liberated and vindicated in the END because he was not only RIGHT but he was able to teach "CAPTAIN Deniro" some beautiful lessons on the HUMAN spirit that binds us all and is in us ALL whether you believe it or not, he did it with integrity, love and CLASS, it worked, Deniro had Cookie as his fave student almost at the start and to me it showed as in all the trials of different ways he went thru to try to "spare him" thus he thought anyway, you can sometimes make the wrong move - with good intentions and this was one of those cases, "ASNF" - I get it mostly and love that however can somebody go into depth about the ASNF part for me as I just built my 14 y/o son I do not see all to often a $7100 dollar gaming PC it took a long time to build so he knew I was doing it but thought it was for me as he came for visits all this time now he knows its done and for him - just have to get it to him" and I was thinking of marking it with something cool anyway and my gut says ASNF would be a cool edition or am I out of line and should not do this on his PC he will cherish... (and enjoy which is most satisfying to ME as the Father) ... and love and probably have for two decades... Anyway, beautiful movie! ...... Superb story telling..... BTW: Please somebody, thoughts? I need this HELP.... BTW: One thing I forgot to mention, the way Cookie taught him it is indeed worth not selling out and being a SHEEP ' no matter what is on the table / The LIne if YOU in your heart like cookie did, feel it the right thing a.k.a. Integrity so when Cookie himself was willing to not give up or give in for anything EXCEPT ....for the Irish guy.... (another sorta random person but a human being indeed) ..that had already basically done the same for him teaching D'eniro, you can do it with the right support, we all can do it, they can not take US all ON! Sorta like the info that GOVERMENTS around the world do not want us to know as in again, they can not take us all on, as in UNITED! .....
This is one of the best films ever made
Truly the best movie ever, Leslie 'Billy' Sunday is the creation of Hollywood writers, but Carl Brashear is real. This movie is forever inspiring to me, thank you Master Chief Carl Maxie Brashear 1931-2006 RIP
I'm a Filipino and never been in US and I am suuuuuper greatfull watching and knowing Master Diver Carl Brashear's Life Story!!! I've known this movie since I was a kid. Till now this is the best movie for me! HANDS DOWN!
Possibly the only movie that can make me cry anytime , anywhere , and I barely cry at funerals

I saw this is in the theater in Virginia Beach, VA. while I was stationed at MDSU-2 @ Little Creek AB. (The movie is about a diver with MDSU-1) Our command received free tickets to go. It was heartbreaking and beautiful to see those hard working men tear up.
Best thing I ever did with my life was serve in the worlds strongest Navy!!! I miss the camaraderie and there core values the most ... God bless our veterans 🇺🇸
The picture of the father, a constant reminder of the promise made. I've always thought this film is special, since wayback when i was young. And this video just reinforces those feeling. Really great job, excellent video. I've been back a few times now and even downloaded it and put it on my phone.
Makes me happy to hear. Really do appreciate the kind words and am glad you enjoyed it so much
Please can you send me the link to download it
That shit hits me right in the feels. I only hope I can impart such a drive into the hearts of my sons. At that point I will consider my life a success
In my time with the Navy, of the 3 core principles we have, the first one is HONOR.
How could you possibly thumbs down this savagery
One hell of an underrated actor!
A son is the best of his father A son is a man if raised to stand..when all else to him to sit and rest A son is a man when he provides for his family A son has done his father proud..when his time he's ended and he's remembered as a decent man who was loved. A son never forgets
With all the shit this man had to deal with he never gave up. If y’all need motivation this story will motivate you.
If only more people were just HALF as strong-willed nowadays
Can’t even imagine. I struggle enough with my privilege as sad as that sounds. But I will never not respect every man that did this. Fought for his way. And did it the right way. That’s honorable.
God Bless those who have served and are currently serving in the Military men and women! I served in the US Army on the first MLRS Unit in the Country Fort Sill Oklahoma 1986. The fact that our men and women sacrifice their lives for the good of Americans makes me sick to see how many Veterans and current soldiers get treated so badly!
“Why do you want this so badly?” “Because they said I couldn’t have it” Real shit right there!!
One of the best movies ever made!!
“Don’t you give up on me” And then the look in his sons eyes, thinking about it. And agreeing without knowing how hard the path would be.
My most favorite movie... I never had a dad but I made sure I never quit.
This whole thing is why I've watched this film a dozen times. I didn't have a dad growing up.
ASNF........ I STILL REMEMBER ( DON'T END UP LIKE ME)
There’s something about this video, the edit, the music, the story it’s really one of the most powerful videos on KZhead.
Very kind of you, I'm grateful that this video reached you and had such a positive impact.
One of the best movies ever. Change my mind
This movie always makes me cry😢
You have successfully brought me to tears. This movie deserves so much more attention. The edit was beautiful, the song choices were perfect.
That's very kind. Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Heads off to all who is fighting for his/her family ✌️✊respect 💯
Them chopped onions always get me. Damn this was deep…
It's not just what he accomplished. It's that he accomplished his goals with everything against him. Fight for what you believe in and never give up!!!! God bless!!!!
This edit is truly amazing!! This is one of my favorite movies and you captured it beautifully. Thank you thank you 😊
So glad you liked it. Its one of my favorites as well, thank you!!
Truly a ‘man of honor’. A legend! ❤️
I really miss and understand my father sacrifice now that he is gone forever 😢
These are the stories people want to see. A man overcoming adversity. It’s the oldest story but it never dies.
Every time during the 12 steps i cry...you can see the pressure he's under and when he stumbled to the side a bit you can tell it was taking everything in him ❤️
I always tell my daughter to be the best you can be in this world and never take shit from anyone and I will love you the same good or bad as long as you gave it your all in this life. The reward will come just keep pushing forward.
Great lesson to teach and I'm confident it will bring its own rewards for both your daughter and yourself.
Daughter??
Fathers are awesome. We need more fathers in Europe. ❤️
Master Chief Petty Officer Brashear is still a legend in the US Navy. He is the embodiment of "I don't quit". The best Navy trait in existence! Hooyah!!!
I remember everything my father told me, I miss him and love him, at the other hand my mother teached me a lot of good things as well and I love her too, I am who I am because both of them, family is not about competition but rather about working together so we can prepare our childrens for life, giving them the best we can. I have only Respect and Love for both of them and I just hope that I won't disappoint them.
I remembered my mom woke me up one morning to see this movie, i was about 12 years old am now 25. Everytime i feel like giving up i always go to watch this video and it motivates me to go on and be the best i can and even though am far from where i want to be i know in my heart i will get there. A son never forgets. Thank you mom
My dad was a narcassist this makes me realize i have the chance to be the father to my child i never got to have
My father always told me to be the best. No one can take nothing from you once you're the best.
I wish my dad was alive to see me become a naval officer.. I wish he gave me words of encouragement like this...thanks for this video❤
No, thank you for your service and for sharing that. Im sure your dad would be proud!
I'm proud of you tho I don't even know you
Maybe he did through messages in ways he couldn't cus he was busy being man
One of the most best movies I have ever seen in my life More than 20 years ago and I could never forget the story of this brave and ambitious man...
all the feels hit hard
saw this movie once, I haven't recovered fully from the heartaches I felt.
Tears so inspiring for us all to never quit!😭❤
Magnificent movie. 10/10. Magnificent actor
How’re you doing and where are you watching from
I can't explain the amount of times I have watched this movie. I was in NJROTC during highschool and we had a Retire Navy Captain as our SNSI. Such a great movie. If you have only scene this edit and not the full film go watch it.
One of my favorite films as a kid.
Fantastic parallels shining a light on this fantastic film. Fantastic editing of course
Thank you, very glad you enjoyed it!
This movie is one of the best of all time in the shadows
One of my absolute favorite movies of all time. A true story of a man conquering odds, and boundaries.
Sixth Generation Combat Vet, direct line, oldest of the oldest, trace my Warrior mentality back to Clan MacCregor. Pops been gone over 42 years. But I'll Never Forget. SEMPER FI !
Those 12 steps always get me!! Such an emotional performance by the both of them!
Same for me. Amazing scene
Stumbled across this video just yesterday. My goodness, the editing is tremendous and the message here is just so so powerful. As a father, I completely get it. The bond, love and respect between a father and son is the strongest thing a true father can ever experience. So emotional.
Thank you for your kindness and im glad the video was something that resonated with you for the right reasons!
This movie gives me chills. Such an amazing and TRUE story. Men like Carl Brashear deserve admiration and celebration.
'What did he say to you to make you try so hard'......whilst holding the picture of his dad! He knows only a dad can instill that kinda will and drive into a man
The editing it's just amazing, the clips combined with the music.... you absolutely nailed it, great video.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed!
i always have loved this movie.. but the edit and now being a father of 3, wow.. emotional . love it
I'm glad to hear it; sounds like it reached the right person!
0:40 like how the camera focuses on roberts charater looks at his scar, it shows he’s remembering what he’s been through and what he’s done to get where he is.
I watch this so deeply I ended up feeling every emotion this seal Carl Brashear went through. Strong strong ass movie❤
I just want to say this tribute to this amazing film brings me to tears thankyou for editing and making such an amazing heartfelt video, you deserve more recognition ❤️
Thats incredibly kind of you and it still does mean alot to me to hear how this video reaches people. Thank you very much.
It's universal.
Man that movie hits me right in the heart strings
“Because they said I couldn’t have it” hearing that only makes you want it more, that’s how I feel about those words.
Thanks for reminding me this fantastic movie and story.Hope it's available on Netflix.
Thank you for watching!
The fact that neither Cuba nor De Niro were even nominated for an academy award for their performances in this film is a real miscarriage of justice.
This movie is legendary without question.
