This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. The language is a little on the high side(16 f-bombs). This movie is virtually about not giving up your dreams. It is based on a true story which blew me away that this man went through all this trouble to become a diver. I find this movie truly inspirational.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what motivates the characters. Brashear is asked why he wants to be a diver and he says, "Because they said I couldn't have it." Brashear asks Sunday why he is helping him after the amputation, and Sunday says, "To piss people off." It is pretty clear why Mr. Pappy does not want Brashear to graduate -- he's a racist. But why does the later commanding officer want Brashear to retire so badly? Talk, too, about the meaning of "ASNF" on Brashear's father's radio, and Sunday's response to it.
