More than just "Girlpower !!!!!" G.I. JANE Good Cup of Joe "G.I. Jane " is about a female intelligence officer who goes after Navy's elite, the Navy S.E.A.L.S. One place no woman has entered before, until now. Jordan O'Neil (Demi Moore ) is hand picked by Senator DeHaven as a test run for full integration if Lt. O'Neil can make the cut. Most of the Naval officers bet that she would not last a week. Senator DeHaven basically makes a deal with the devil for this opportunity, if it works she will be placed on political pedestal and keep her office, yet if it fails, she will still be placed there for attempting to get full integration into all non-women placements. Lt. O'Neil's "boyfriend " is also in the Intelligence Department , and he is not gung ho about the idea, yet deep down he does not believe she will make it. The movie is almost numbing in its effort to cover every possible feminist issue.. O'Neal is married to a naval officer who has served less time and yet ranks above her.. Most of O'Neal's cohorts are resentful of having to share their quarters and lifestyle with a woman.. O'Neal becomes a political pawn in a fight with the senator.. There are so many sub-plots, you get the feeling this could have been a TV mini-series ..... But the most overwhelming fear is that O'Neal will become a whiny martyr. Her complaints don't even make much sense at first. When she fails a certain physical test, rather than being concerned for her own groundbreaking career, she complains when a fellow officer who tested better than she did is drummed out of the program. (So she'd rather that *he* was brought back in and she was kicked out? ) Small wonder that a head honcho starts referring to O'Neal as a "Joan of Arc for the Navy ." But once the movie quits trying to parallel contemporary lone-woman-in-the-military situations, the story itself proves enough to carry the day. When O'Neal's master chief (Viggo Mortensen ) gets carried away with O'Neal's physical training and causes even her peers to turn on him, you find yourself rooting for her at last... 【Demi Moore】 G.I. Jane 【Viggo Mortensen】 A Genuinely Good Movie - Demi with a Shaved Head.. Now this is one of those movies I'll be watching more than once or twice !! Demi Moore plays Jordan, the first candidate for the navy SEALs program , and whoa does she have her work cut out for her She has the perfect "never say die " attitude, which I'm sure helps her endure the stresses they put upon her in trying to get her to quit Anything from false accusations to down right physical attacks plague her as she goes through the training program. I won't say too much about what she goes up against because to do so would ruin it for anyone who hasn't yet seen it, but suffice it to say that you can't possibly be disappointed in this movie. "G.I. Jane" should've gotten her first Best Actress award. Not only was it a stylish action flick but she did a Robert De Niro in playing the part. I'm not a tabloid or fanzine reader, so I can't vouch for which scenes were shot using stand-ins or not. I'll tell you this, though: she didn't have any doubles in the nude scenes, and that shaved head wasn't a latex job. This lady makes sacrifices for her art, and if half of the training scenes were pure Demi, then move over Sylvester Stallone. This gal has out-Rockied Rocky. Jordan O'Neil is duped by politicians into entering the Navy SEALS as their first female candidate. She overcomes impossible odds in a battle of the sexes to survive the course, and successfully beats a phony charge orchestrated by the pols to remain on active duty with the commando force. She saves the day during an international crisis and hopefully lives happily ever after, because we hope she doesn't ever endure all that again for a sequel we probably wouldn't want to sit through ...you know how that goes. One big plus for the flick is the realism of the training that the SEALS undergo to join the ranks of the world's best elite force. I'm a military buff and have read tales similar to what "Jane " has to overcome, though never seeing anything quite as authentic onscreen. This isn't the horror story we get from "Full Metal Jacket", because these are peacetime candidates who are constantly implored to step up, ring the bell , and spare themselves further torment. It is the grim determination of the candidates we have to admire, O'Neil's even more so , and Demi's most of all because most leading ladies would have laughed themselves sick at the idea of taking such a part. Poor Demi is so alone in this one that everybody gets tagged as antagonists, though they all do a gr8 job. Viggo Mortensen is fantastic as her overbearing master chief , and Anne Bancroft is at her best as a Southern Congresswoman who plays an excellent chess game on the Pentagon floor. There's nothing lacking in this one: conflict within the interest, fine acting, gut-clenching action scenes, an intelligent plot, and an incisive look at relevant issues facing women in uniform. For Demi fans or those (like myself) who underestimated her ability, this DVD's for you. Action fans and movie buffs who well-crafted action movies need to grab it as well. Need I say Moore ????? Point blank to this story is that I really enjoyed this movie. Seeing how women fight for their rights to be equal, makes me feel proud to be a woman Sure we go through a lot, and men may seem that they have it easier than woman, but if you look at it another way...both genders have it difficult in this world !! The movie just gives the "real world " another limit. I recommend anyone to catch it and see what's really going on.
