For participation in the film "Soldier Jane" the actors received a tangible boost in their careers. The recognition of the audience was justified, and many performers of their roles will live a successful cinematic life.
Cast and Story
In the frame, in addition to the main roles, the following appeared:
- James Cavizel
- Morris Chestnut;
- Anne Bancroft;
- Jason Beh
- Kevin Gage;
- John Michael Higgins.
But the "main fiddle" was played in the movie "Soldier Jane" by actors Viggo Mortensen and Demi Moore.
Moore performed the main character in a brutal selection in the division of "Fur Seals". Mortensen was a ruthless instructor and a fierce opponent of the participation of women in real combat operations.
An influential woman as an American senator gets involved in the political struggle around the topic of sexual discrimination in the Navy. She seeks to join the ranks of "Fur Seals" fragile girl. The best elite special forces unit does not accept all men, let alone women. Many officers regarded this appointment as a political whim. And no more.
But the main mother, Jordan O'Neill, is ready to meet each of the requirements of the unit and will prove it in practice.
Not weak sex
The girl has to go through the "hellish week" with a set of the most terrible trials under the supervision of hard-working instructors in their cruelty. Attractive in civilian life, the girl at the training ground was among the strongest soldiers and survived more than one test. In one of them, a representative of the “weaker sex” was tortured along with the rest to simulate enemy interrogations.
In the picture "Soldier Jane", the actors and roles were to become an example to follow and an incentive to rethink a lot. O'Neill comes out after any test, not only a staunch fighter, but also the darling of his colleagues. Each time, the girl delights people with her willpower.
Only politics can stop her. The same senator who brought her to the unit, now opposed the female presence in the special forces. She dissolves the incriminating rumor among the military.
Demi Moore in the ranks
For the movie "Soldier Jane", the actors were one of the factors of success at the box office. Now it’s hard to imagine a better candidate for the main role than Demi Moore. She is a native of the acclaimed Roswell in New Mexico with its legends and myths. In those parts of a reckless woman, a girl was born from an accidental man in 1962 in order to survive a difficult childhood in the outback. The stepfather and mother between bouts constantly moved from place to place in search of a better life, in such circumstances, Demi could hardly count on a happy future.
As soon as the girl realized the benefits of her attractiveness, she dropped out of high school for the first steps on the catwalk in a modeling career. Later he will direct his efforts to cinema and will attend castings. At the age of 20, he tries himself in one of the series. Then he will receive invitations to several films and take advantage of the chance in the romantic film “Ghost” with Patrick Swayze. After that, each film with her participation will leave a noticeable mark in the cinema and will be revised many times. After “A Few Good Guys” and “Obscene Proposal”, she will be noticed already in the film academy.
Jane Soldier - Idol of Feminists
The dialogue between the girl soldier and the woman senator in the film presented several of the most significant cues in the cinema. The feminists of that time were to pull the conversation into quotes. But in the understanding of the viewer in the movie "Soldier Jane", the actors in the guise of heroes simply punished the bad guys.
Director Ridley Scott, of course, devoted a painting to feminism around the world. Along with men in terrible conditions, the heroine had a chance to bring down the general idea of the concept of "weaker sex". The girl had to defend her right to serve on an equal basis with the rest and even surpass many soldiers. The authors of the script and the team of directors placed the heroine in special conditions with a test of willpower and character.
Another thing is that the general public could not be considered for the sharp plot and the rapid development of events in the picture. A spoiled viewer with popcorn on his teeth took the picture for a simple action movie. The film "Soldier Jane", the actors and roles in which worked for a deep meaning, few could distinguish from the rest of the paintings of that time.
