Top Gun [21]

This movie was a bit too corny for my taste but it does tell a good story. Maverick [Cruise] is training to be a pilot for the Navy, he’s sent to the top aerial combat school, Top Gun, with his good buddy Goose. Maverick is a totally cool guy but he’s very dangerous. He flies without concern, when he gets a goal in mind he only cares for achieving it, no matter what he has to do. His peers don’t like him much since he’s a threat to their safety. On the other hand there’s Goose, who’s liked by all and always roots for Maverick no matter what.
There is a love story and a friendship intertwined here, we get at all sides of Maverick. He has to deal with a lot of things and his recklessness increases. Even through his disregard for safety, he does good, but no one is really willing to take any chances with him. Things turn around completely for Maverick, he loses his closest friend and is ready to give up, but now he has a few more people that believe in him, people that can see through the trouble he causes and know he’s truly a great pilot; people that realize that someone with his headstrong skill is desperately needed.
