The Guardian

Almost felt like going out to party tonight cos' I am on leave tmr. But decided against it since I am gonna be out tmr night for KTV ;) Instead called my brother to catch a movie. We were deciding between, world trade center, the departed and the guardian. Since WTC is gonna be depressing and the departed is rather long, we settled for the guardian.

It's about the US Coast guards, the film is specially dedicated to the coast guards during the Hurricane Katrina at New Orleans:

After losing his crew in a fatal crash, legendary Rescue Swimmer, Ben Randall (KEVIN COSTNER), is sent to teach at "A" School, an elite training program for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he throws himself into teaching, turning the program upside down with his unorthodox training methods. While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer (ASHTON KUTCHER), who is driven to be the best. During training, Randall helps mold Jake’s character, combining his raw talent with the heart and dedication required of a Rescue Swimmer. Upon graduation, Jake follows Randall to Kodiak, Alaska, where they face the inherent dangers of the Bering Sea. In his initial solo rescue, Jake learns firsthand from Randall, the true meaning of heroism and sacrifice, echoing the Swimmer’s motto..."So Others May Live!"

Felt really touched after the show...they are like the guardians of the people who are lost in the sea. Not as glamourous as the Navy Seals or the combat group but when it comes to time of trouble they are the ones who will rise to the occasion and perform the miracles, answerin to the pleas of the stranded souls...
