Officer and a Gentleman

[Floogal]

Great film! But, who else thought it would have been better if Richard Gere won the fight with the drill sergeant?

I saw it for the first time a few months ago, no idea how I'd managed not to see it before, and yes, I agree.

Personally, I think it's a junky film, but perhaps the thing to remember is that it's a totally conventional, conservative, predictable film. He can't be allowed to win, first because it would undermine the image of the military, and second because it's meant to show a come-uppance as a learning experience.

He couldn't win. The whole point was to break him down and show him his weaknesses and that he needs other people.

Best ever ending to a movie ❤️
