>"you can't fly jet planes if you're color blind"
why did he do this?
he was a miserable suicidal gay manlet who got cucked in love ane career by the same guy
Uh... that's true. I have a cousin who wanted to be a fighter pilot but was unable to due to his color blindness. He became an engineer instead.
Being colorblind disqualifies one from becoming a pilot.

Because embracing the truth about yourself and understanding your limitations is better than pretending you're something you'll never be.
also I can't believe this movie is ten years old
I remember seeing commercials for it everywhere
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
that kid was pretty retarded if he took a fucking oath of silence for who knows how long and he didn't even bother to learn the basic requirements for being a pilot
>>70984906
He didn't know he was colour blind dickhead
>>70984969
what? How do you get to be in your late teens and not have a single instance in your life where people are referencing color or asking you about it and you not getting it? That's impossible
Why would you even want to be a jet pilot? It's the most grinding job I can think of
>>70985009
that's not how color blindness work
>>70985024
flying is a metaphor to be free
>>70985061
so how does it work then
>>70985009
There's different levels of blindness
>>70985024
People still think aviation is fun/exciting/rewarding.
>>70984755
He's right. Might as well tell him now and not give him false hopes.

>flying is a metaphor to be free
Not when you're trapped in a tin can
>>70985094
I still feel like if you have enough of it to fail a test you have enough to have noticed long before your late teens. I feel like 90% of my kindergarten and elementary school exercises were color-based

>>70985009
Many people don't discover that they're colour blind until they go for a driving test
>>70984755
If this isn't some meme and it's a serious question... then the answer is because the character was severely depressed and in his state of mind didn't think breaking this type of news delicately would be the right thing to do. Because life is hard and struggle in his eyes, I think in all his genius and logic he felt the kid must know the truth immediately. Also, as a family member he did the kid a favor, a small amount of acute pain now instead of the hardship the kid would suffer later...

Life is full of small indignities and it's better to hear the hard truth early from a loved one than to find out later after you've given your blood sweat and tears.
>>70985024
Cuz the best pilots in the world are an invaluable resource that's why they're called aces
They get to drive some of the most expensive machines on the planet
>>70985148

Can we talk about how Breslin has "developed" as an actor?
>>70985009
color blind doesnt mean you literally cant see colors
this is gonna get reposted again and again right?
>>70984755
becoming a military pilot is EXTREMELY competitive and any kind of physical defect, no matter how benign, will cause you to be dropped from the program in favor of someone without it. People have literally been dropped due to skin conditions.
