In real life Maverick would have been court martialed many times. If you are a pilot you will love the movie. Oddly the most poignant scene was when Maverick went to the Admiral (Ice Man) for advice about his dead copilot’s (Goose) son who was now a Naval aviator.
Great movie, totally unrealistic but you will like it.
Ice Man was right.
The thing that struck me the most when I saw it 39 years ago is at the end everybody on the ship is cheering because they just started WWIII.
I watched Vertigo yesterday. Seen it before. Saw someone write that when he pulls Madeline out of the SF Bay she still had her high heels on.
and how then reading your statement so resonated with me...”Great movie, totally unrealistic but you will like it”.
Sigh. Hollywood ;)
I guess think, ‘that’s entertainment’.
