Trivialidades:

John Denver was offered and turned down the lead role. He later said it read like a "1950's movie".

Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): The class, upon receiving their commissions, approach Gunnery Sergeant Foley and present him with a silver dollar, in return for their first salute. When Ensign Seeger receives her salute, Sergeant Foley says "Congratulations Ensign Seeger, Sir". He should have said, "Congratulations Ensign Seeger, Ma'am."

BIG MONEY DOLLARS

A great and honest movie!

I am a huge fan of "Full Metal Jacket", but I think it is wrong to compare this movie w/ "An Officer and A Gentleman", they are just too different. It is no surprise that Louis Gosset Jr. won on Oscar for "best supporting actor", he was very convincing!!

This movie is a good example of great characters and the dynamics between them. They were all great!! Richard Gere plays a likable loner. But he is less arrogant than he is untrusting, and I think Foley finally gains some respect for him when he realizes this.

The most memorable scenes for me were when Seegar couldn't make it up the wall the first time and she caves into tears at Foley's caustic (and very funny!) comments. The scenerio were she finally makes it over due to Mayo's newfound concern and trust of others is also great and shows his maturing. But I think Louis Gosset Jr. shines the most when he challenges Mayo to a fight (I believe he did this out of respect for Mayo as a last ditch effort to keep him from dropping out), a wonderful scene indeed!!

Debra Winger was some serious eye-candy in this flick and Lisa Eilbacher has the cutest doll face.

Great characters and cast!
