Men of Honor

Anyone seen this movie? Also, does anyone know how accurately it portrays the events? How much dramatic lisense did Hollywood take?


Retired Navy diver Carl Brashear died July 25, 2006 at 2:35 p.m. at Naval Medical Center portsmouth of respiratory and heart failure.

The retired master chief was 75, and became known throughout the world after actor Cuba Gooding Jr. portrayed Brashear in this movie.

Agreed. Men of Honor was an excellent movie. As far as I can tell, the movie was almost exact. I'm not sure about some of the romantic situations though.
