G.I. Jane 4K 1997

The film is good. It is good because of its sole moral: to want is to be able. You have to work hard before you get the silver badge in the shape of wings.

Jordan wanted to prove to everyone that she was capable of overcoming all difficulties, obstacles, and troubles. Women are capable of far more feats than men. We can clearly see that women are more resilient, more courageous, and more hardworking. The difference is that women need an atmosphere of competition to achieve what they want. That's why Ridley Scott placed her in an all-male team.
He could have made a film about the Israeli army and shown female competition. But he didn't, and he was right not to.

A huge plus of this film is that Jordan proves something not to some pot-bellied old man “at the top,” but to herself and to all of us.
This is undoubtedly thanks to Demi Moore. She trains, shaves her head, and works out ONLY for herself. In her case, careerism has taken the form of masochism. But tell me, you didn't doubt that she would succeed, did you? And that's absolutely logical, because SUCH efforts must be rewarded.

A special bow to Viggo Mortensen. Amazing composure, cruelty, and loyalty to his cause. It's good that he's Danish by origin. He doesn't have that stupid expression of American patriotism on his face, like George Bush when he hears the US national anthem. He's just a soldier. A soldier who does his job. And who changes all his ideas about the weaker half of humanity when Jordan saves his life. But I would lengthen his shorts, even though he looks great in them.

The only thing I didn't like was all the political intrigue. A woman can serve in the army. If she wants to. And if she's not the mother of five children. Why not? Why was it necessary to complicate the whole situation? They could have just let the girl serve. But in the US, they're strict about that. I have to admit that the director and screenwriters handled the politics very competently and without confusion, so it doesn't get in the way too much.

As for Demi Moore's bald spot... But it made her so much more comfortable. The main thing is that the bald spot didn't prevent her character from achieving her goal, and it helped us understand one truth: work hard to achieve your goals.
