Heavy military boot camp movies cannot help but draw comparisons to Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. The groundbreaking drama showcased the lengths to which the United States Military Academies sometimes go to “break” their recruits. Another great example is the under-appreciated but long-remembered G.I. Jane. Both films featured recruits who were not wanted (Full Metal Jacket with the obese, dimwitted Leonard “aka Gomer Pyle” Lawrence, played fantastically by Vincent D’Onofrio, or Demi Moore as the lone trial candidate in a U.S. Navy female integration program in G.I. Jane). A similar example is Men of Honor, the story of Carl Brashear (Cuba Gooding Jr.), the first African-American U.S. Navy Diver.
