#AcademyConversations #AnOfficerandAGentleman #RichardGere
RICHARD YOU WERE PART OF THE TWO GREATEST MOVIES EVER MADE. "AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN" AND "PRETTY WOMAN". THANK YOU.
The sweetest ending. I keep watching the ending only.
The ending was WONDERFUL!
I;m a two fisted kind of guy 70 years old vietnam navy vet (never saw charlie) but am not afraid to say i cry when i see the ending of this flick. Thanks mr geere and mrs winger.
I cry at the wall scene as well as the ending. 11B
You're in good company, Sir.
This was and is my favorite movie. I’ve seen it numerous times. I believe that this movie covers all relationships. Love relationship, friendship between men and women, between parents and the bond between teacher and student. I love it. Debra is amazing, stunning with physical beauty nothing more and at my teenage years felt that she’s the girl next door. My friend. As a Greek American going back and forth never missed it and ever time I would see a detail that missed before. Thank you Richard and Debra ❤️
Very well summarized.
One of the most iconic movie endings of all time.
The opening chords give me chills every time..
Gonna have to watch this again tonight .
Officer and a gentleman such a great movie. I've watched it countless times.
I just watched it for the first time today lol
Movies today don't have the guts to have an ending like that. But when they nail it, you want to stand up and cheer.
I loved that movie with Debra Winger and Richard Gere! Also loved Urban Cowboy with her and John Travolta
Thank God Travolta said no to Gentleman. Gere had a rawness about him. and in the 80's it was Travolta v Gere for many parts.
Pretty Woman the red box necklace shot where Gere snaps the opening on Julia Gere did that as a joke and it worked so he is right they had a ball making this movie and it clicked.
Travoltas rejection of various film offers made Gere's career.
Winger seemed to have had a better connection with Travolta. When they worked together in "Urban Cowboy"
Mr. Gere is a very clever Actor and a Great Person!
This is what I like most about movies: an actor has a part in a movie and people loved it so much that, many years after you did it, people are still talking about it. I mean, An Officer and a Gentleman was filmed almost FORTY YEARS ago and people still love that movie (myself included)!
Best ending of a movie, EVER, I always wanted to be swept off my feet just like that by Richard Gere!
JTSMINE JTSMINE, I could NOT imagine that movie ending ANY OTHER WAY! It is SO powerful yet tender!!!
+JTSMINE I'm first in line!
Me too...lol
JTSMINE my wife's 50th next Sat.........guess what I'm up to 😉
Don't we all! 😊😊😊😊😊
I was talking to a friend about this movie and he said, "That ending is so corny." I just said, "Well, you don't realize who's rescuing whom."
Exactly
Well then your friend sounds like a soulless AH, who doesn't believe in anything
Way to go Paula ! Way to go ! Class movie !
Oh, I loved that movie "Officer and a Gentleman"
Interesting how so many elements have to come together to make a scene work. The music, the tempo of the music, etc.
I got nowhere to go scene heartbreaking and raw. Final scene is perfect. Fantastic film, brilliant actors . ☮️
The ending was the best part!!
No doubt, that ending is still iconic as of today. Absolutely nailed it in every sense.
Best ending EVER!! ❤️❤️❤️
Two great actors who exhibited chemistry even though they did not get along during filming of this movie. I read the Richard Gere ate a raw onion before kissing Debra Winger.
You are still fine Richard!!!
Absolutely he’s wonderful.
What a sweet voice he has
This is one of my favorite movies to watch again and again. To watch gunnery Sergeant Foley and Paula change Zack Mayo who did not care about anything but himself and then care about his fellow classmates, esp. Paula. The ending was deserved for Zack to go to her work and swept off her feet and takes his hat off and put it on her head was priceless and very emotional because she changed him to love a person you want to be with. Louis truly deserved the oscar for his portrayal to watch and interpret Zack's personality and attitudes towards others and finally broke him til he finally told him the truth,--"I got no where else to go, no where to go." What a classic love story.
I love when Zack gives up winning the record to go back and help Seeger climb the wall. It was incredible and the look on Foley's face when the whole group is hugging and so happy for Seeger is very inspirational.
He was so gorgeous 🥰❤️❤️
As a vet I see the film about 2 people's lives that are changed by the military, Gere's father was never there for him we see that early into the movie. Winger she's stuck in a dead end job and the two are now off to a better life.
They’re the reason that each other’s life changes but the military is definitely the catalyst. Royal Navy Lt Cdr here. I think you’re right in that the military gives people the confidence to go out and do whatever the hell they want. I know I wouldn’t have met my wife the way I did if I hadn’t been in the military.
@@georgemorley1029 I'm not in the military but I find these kinds of films interesting as they seem so far removed from real life because all the military veterans I've met are divorced. I've been warned myself not to marry a soldier or sailor as they said you'll be treated badly and most likely will end up divorced. The stories I've heard from military wives and veterans is a far cry from the movies. I once looked after a lady who'd had a stroke and was married to a retired army officer. She told me about her life as a military wife when they were posted in India. She had lots of servants as they were cheap to employ so she lived the life of a queen. She had good social status and easy life so as a woman I can say that if she hadn't had that with her husband she wouldn't have enjoyed her marriage so much.
Greatest movie ending of all time….
It worked, I believe because it's every woman's fantasy. That's why it worked. Women love that sentimental stuff.
Jennifer wellman I Agree
Treat a Woman
Always as a Princess 👸
True because Ive been there, you get dismissed upon military grad and no one you love is there for you but she would have! I get why he went to her, great movie.
Best ending ever I thought a masterpiece!
The ending made the movie for me ❤️and I’ve had that happen to me twice, the soppy ending 🥰 I just wasn’t picked up physically and carried off in the sunset 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s the best movie ever as it’s a perfect fairytale.love ya Richard.from uk
To be fair, the ending to An Officer and a Gentleman IS cheesy as f@@@...but it's the most iconic scene in the film!
The movie works because it's about 2 people, mainly Gere, who overcomes near impossible odds to make a dream come true, if you HAVE feelings, that formula will always touch people. Gere then makes Wingers dreams come true, so it gets you one way or another. Gere's journey is what moves me, nothing is in his favor, Mother committed suicide raised himself, & lacks qualities needed to be a team player, best friend commits suicide, Gossett Jr wants him gone, but he makes it. Then overcomes his fear of commitment & gets the girl.
Otherwise... A FKING Fantasy.
He was brilliant in American Gigolo. I can’t imagine anyone else who could have played that role..
Esse cara é um ótimo ator esse sim é um ator de verdade
Brought a tear to my eye when he gave the silver dollar to Gossett.
Ewe we're SIMPLY Terrific in "Chicago", And The Movie version was so perfectly cast and executed...But, when ewe came on the Scene, you were so Raw, Such a Baby Boy on the precipice of Manhood...Officer and a Gentleman, is a coming of age Love Story, fur Dreamers...The Chemistry between Ewe and Winger was gorgeously captured fur all Tymes... That's why, kiddos
When they shot the ending the women in the scene were crying. That was when the director knew that it would work. If I could fit my fat ass back into my dress whites, I would like to try that scene somewhere with my wife.
Elvis Randolph Same here, Elvis!! I still have my dress blues from 'Nam and wish I could fit into them!!!
+Nils Skudaarkaat you and me both.
+Elvis Randolph Made me smile, the uniform does it every time.
Hair is beautiful
Not a fan of Gere, but he was robbed in 1982, not even getting nominated for Officer and a Gentleman. Would not have won, Ben Kingsley in Ghandi won that year but should have at least been nominated for Best Actor. Off screen Gere is a first class A hole Ask Sly Stallone. I think to this day they still hate each other. Debra Winger also still holds him in low esteem.
My FAVORITE BUDDHIST!❤️
I wonder how women feel about the concept of the "Puget Sound Deb", which is a woman who will do almost anything to get a male aviator to marry her, because he is "the answer to her dreams".
In Paula and Zach's case, they are rescuing each other. Zach needs Paula as much as Paula needs Zach. I think Paula and Zach will make it work. As far as an answer to women's dreams, the only person who can make us happy is ourselves . Men can't make women happy and vice-versa.
He won't even mention Debra Winger.
He went to the back seat of his car and didn't come back for 10 minutes
Way to go Homer! Way to go!
Way to go Paula !!
He’s talking about Pretty Woman, not OAAG. He said Julia. And I’ve heard him say everybody asks about Pretty Woman. Am I cray cray? Lol
Pretty Woman
Garry Marshall
Odjanio do Brasil ótimas pesquisas desse ator muito conhecido estava vêndo ele interessante ele côm suas pesquisas vejam voçês do público como são bons os vidios póstados pela midia e esse ator
My favorite movie . He was sooo sexy in it
I used to watch breathless would be the late late movie on Wgn, I seen that soo many times , they always ran it, wasn’t a great flick but that was before I had cable
Worked 2nd shift, get out at 1130
Drink some beers cook a frozen pizza throw on the tv play a little guitar and fall asleep, wish I could go back
Why, you don't know? It's because just like pretty woman a woman alway's wants her knight in shining armor to save her and a man dream's about being that knight!
I like gere, but i read multiple times most say how difficult he was to work with. From ego to demanding to bad breath
I want your DOR!!
I've nowhere else to go, Sir!!
that little script resumes it all.
Without that ending the movie would be another pice of shit like Coming Home, i mean, it's a pice of shit BUT with an unforgetable great ending.
He looks like Roger Waters
I dislike you,,¡ you let me down!!!😥😥😏😮
Nothing changed .... women love a free dinner ticket
Why did he say anarctica, didn't he know, nobody ever lived, there or just didn't want to say arctic... that made him, for me a 'racist'...I am an Inuit Greenland eskimo
