G.I Jane

My favorite movie of all time is G.I Jane, which came out in 1997. The major stars in my favorite part of the movie are, Demi Moore (Jordan O’Neill) and Viggo Mortensen (Master Chief). The storyline basically is about how the Navy Secretary begins full gender integration of the service, and they give the opportunity to one female to train in the U.S Navy’s elite SEAL program. Jordan O’Neill is the one female that is able to train, and everyone expects her to fail from the very beginning. All of the men, including Master Chief, hate her when she first arrives, but she is determined to succeed. My all time favorite scene of the movie is when O’Neill is in training, and gets captured by Master Chief and his buddies. When they capture her, they take her into their house and beat her up to try and get information out of her. They are doing this just in case it ever happens when they aren’t in training anymore. Master Chief takes it a little to far, and all his friends begin to walk away and are disgusted with how he is punishing her. Master Chief and O’Neill end up in front of all the trainees that are captured in a gated off area. They watch O’Neill get beaten, and start to turn away and resent Master Chief for acting that way. Once Master Chief goes over and tries to talk to the guys and tell them he’s doing her a favor, O’Neill slowly gets up with blood dripping from her face and calmly says “Master Chief”, and he responds with “Lieutenant, seek life elsewhere.” A few seconds later, O’Neill yells “Suck My Dick!!!” all her partners begin screaming, and this is when Master Chief finally realizes who he is dealing with, and knows how strong she is. The reason this is my favorite scene is because O’Neill finally gets the respect she deserves. Even though her partners did not agree with a girl coming in, now they are all friends with her. Finally, Master Chief is pleased with something she does, and she finally gets her independence. I thought this was one of the best movies I have ever seen, and it will continue to be my favorite movie. Demi Moore is a great actress, and was such an inspiration for women during this movie. Oh, and she actually did shave her head for the role of G.I Jane.

This clip is the scene I was talking about, but it has violence and explicit language.
