Profile of G.I. Jane

G.I. Jane can be described as sincere, rough, and bleak. The plot revolves around officers and cadets, basic training, and feminism. The main genre is drama. In terms of style, G.I. Jane stars a strong female character. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, on a military base. G.I. Jane takes place in the 1990s. It is well suited for a boys' night. Note that it involves profanity and violent content.

Summary of G.I. Jane

Demi Moore stars as Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil, the first female candidate for the U.S. Navy SEAL unit, a clandestine strike force drawn from the crème de la crème of the combined services--an opportunity provided her by the political maneuvering of Senator Lillian de Haven (Anne Bancroft). To make the grade, Jordan has to survive a grueling selection process in which 60 percent of all candidates wash out. Enigmatic Master Chief John Urgayle (Viggo Mortensen) runs the brutal training program that involves 20-hour days of running, marching, and crawling through obstacle courses under the worst weather conditions while carrying landing rafts--not to mention eating out of a garbage can during breaks. Along with the best of the men, the lean, mean, shaven-headed Jordan handles the punishment, including a bizarrely motivated beating from her drill sergeant. The top brass, confident that a woman would quickly drop out, becomes concerned as Jordan's ability to handle SEAL training becomes evident. Soon she must contend with trumped-up charges that she's fraternizing with women, and the senator begins receiving threats that military bases in her state may have to be closed. Director Ridley Scott aestheticizes the harrowingly realistic training sequences with photography of austere beauty.

Were women put on earth to be warriors? Demi Moore certainly was. The role of Jordan fits her as snugly as a new layer of muscle. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

With a strongly visual director, Ridley Scott ("Blade Runner," "Alien", the film really shows what's involved at this level of combat training. Full Review

I can't get enough of this movie

It's not just the feminist idea that keeps me hooked, but the great military drama in and of itself. Not only well-made but also inspiring. I think it's something everyone should watch. Read and rate it
