This movie has always fascinated me as near-perfect, so when I watched it on Hoopla (for about the 50th time I've watched it overall) I've finally decided to voice my thoughts here on IMDB.
The opening scene is brilliant because it reveals flashbacks that will come into play in a big way later on, and it so deftly shows Zach's relationship with his father in a few simple brush strokes. Supposedly, there is a deleted scene where Byron (Zach's father, portrayed by Robert Loggia) comes to the base to visit, but thank God they left it out.
Richard Gere was so perfect in the role of Zach and so hot, even with a buzzcut, that it's impossible to imagine either John Travolta or especially John Denver portraying him. Zach goes through a complete change of character in the movie, and it is very satisfying to watch.
And the many reviews from actual service people reveal that many aspects of the program and especially Sergeant Foley's (Lewis Gossett Jr.) actions were spot-on. Some pointed out that in actuality, there is no OCS base anywhere in Washington, but so what? It's a movie.
Congrats to the producers on including several strong female characters. Paula and Lynette literally change for the dance on the base on the way there in Lynette's car, and they smoke pot while doing it. This was very true to the time period. Also, the producers very wisely included one female OCS candidate, portrayed by Lisa Eilbacher, who turns out to be a very important character in Zach's dramatic arc.
For me, one of the most effective scenes was when Paula's mother stops her from rushing off to the base to try and hunt Zach down after he has not called her for a date. To say anything else would be a spoiler, so for those who've never seen OAAG, look for it about two-thirds of the way in. Here's a clue: the OCS school had been there for decades and many young women had gone to the dances there in hopes of finding a husband.
And yes; the ending is cool! At the time, some critics pooh-poohed it, but I loved it while watching it back in the day and I still love it now.
