In the Navy
I see in today's Washington Post that the Navy has some issues with the movie Annapolis. While the movie does contain scenes that depict hazing, racist behavior and sex, the Navy claims it is not this kind of content that is the problem, but rather the overall lack of realism:
"You've got to keep in perspective that we did not object to particular scenes in the script," [Annapolis spokesman Cmdr. Rod] Gibbons said. "But the versions of the script we saw in 2004 did not realistically portray the Naval Academy and what we do here."
What a shame that Hollywood can't make good movies anymore that accurately reflect life in the Navy. It must be symptomatic of the decaying moral culture of those left-coast elites that we don't get the gripping realism of movies like Navy Seals or The Navy vs. The Night Monsters anymore.
