“Gettin’ old ain’t bad, Ben. Gettin’ old that’s earned”
Comment:
People nowadays are afraid to get old. They want to be eighteen until they die. We’ve seen a lot of advertisements about anti-aging cosmetic products. There is an opinion that when we grow old we are no longer interesting. We should be grateful for what we have achieved. Use the ability and skill to help younger people to walk in the right path. Show them that we are good models for them. Show them that getting old, being health, wealth and happy are achievements that not everybody can achieve.
Summary of the Movie:
The US Coast Guard version of "Top Gun" with a little "An Officer and A Gentleman" thrown in: an aging USCG rescue swimmer's team is killed in a horrific rescue mission. Immediately prior to this terrible event, his wife also announced that she cannot take anymore. His first love is always the rescue mission. This leaves him an obviously emotional wreck. His commender gives him a choice - quit or take a position as an instructor at the USCG training facility in Louisiana. Reluctantly he takes the position. Moving into the school, he immediately increases the 18 week curriculum that routinely fails half of the people that attend. Here he meets a young man with unlimited potential, but with some secret that seems to hold him back as a team player. Delving into his past, links are found that make him a psychic twin to the older man. Thrown into the midst of the story is a romance with a local girl. Rescue missions punctuate the beginning and end of the story with the training sessions in the center of the film.
