Very pure love

When I watched movies in the 80s, I was already full of nostalgia. The story tells the tangled love of navy pilots. Although it is a very good-looking romance film, its classics are mainly reflected in the good-looking story and the strong sense of nostalgia in the 1980s. As for the concept of love in it, it is not very useful from the current point of view. The male chauvinism is too strong and modern people. Love is more complicated, and there is no pureness in the past, but this is what modern people look forward to, right?

    Is there a barrier to entry into the Naval Academy?

    I've seen it countless times, true love should not be mixed with any hypocrisy and calculations, and only such a person can truly get it.

An Officer and a Gentleman quotes

  • Foley: [Speaking to the newly-arrived recruits] ... I know why most of you are here; we weren't born yesterday. Before you get to join United Airlines and sell them what we teach, you gotta give the Navy six years of your life! Lots of things can happen in six years, including another war. And if any of you are too peace-loving to dump napalm on an enemy village where there MIGHT be women and children, that's what I'm here to discover...! I expect to lose at least half of you before I'm finished. I will use every means necessary, fair and unfair, to trip you up - that is, to expose your weaknesses... both as a potential aviator, and as a human being. The prize at the other end is a flight education worth $1 million! But first, you gotta get past ME.

  • Lynette: Oh, Sid! Let's do it right now! I wonder where we'll get stationed? I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!

    Worley: Honey, we're not being stationed anywhere. I D.O.R.'d.

    Lynette: [Shocked] You what?

    Worley: I D.O.R.'d. I wasn't cut out to be a pilot. I was faking it. I've been faking everything up to now.

    Lynette: But... What'll we do? Where would we go?

    Worley: Oklahoma. I'll get my old job back at JC Penney's. Hell, in two years, I'll be floor manager. You're going to love Oklahoma! You and mama will get along great. Money might be tight, so we'll live at home. It's going to work out.

    Lynette: Sid... There's no baby.

    Worley: What?

    Lynette: I'm not pregnant. I got my period this morning. There's no baby, Sid.

    Worley: I'll be goddamned. What do you say we get married anyway? I love you! I don't think I really knew that till just now, just this second. I have never been happier in my life than I have in the last seven weeks. I've never felt so relaxed, and I've never felt so loved for who I really am. Lynette, marry me. Make me the happiest man in the whole world.

    Lynette: I'm sorry, Sid. But I don't want to marry you. I really like you, and we've had ourselves some really great times, but I thought you understood. I want to marry a pilot. I want to live my life overseas... the wife of an aviator!

    Lynette: [Getting visibly angry with Sid] Damn you! Goddamn you! Nobody D.O.R.'s after 11 weeks! NOBODY!
