The history of the Mason is the real star of Proud. If you go expecting only that, then you won't be disappointed. And at times you may find yourself moved. Go to Full Review Willie Waffle WaffleMovies.com 09/22/2005

Proud may not have the best acting, biggest budget, or best written dialogue you will see in a movie, but it does tell an important story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/19/2017 Slow but moving history See more 11/13/2014 Watched 15 seconds of it and lost 15 seconds of my valuable short life, plus another 10 seconds writing this review about it. See more douglas g 11/09/2012 The grandfather tells the true story about The USS Mason. See more 06/05/2012 Pretty good for a history movie...not normally my favorite genre. See more 05/31/2008 (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Interesting story but the direction and acting is just too amateurish (Davis is great, though). I also wish the filmmakers centered more on the people and events themselves instead of the racism issues. A near-miss for me. See more 01/21/2008 It does mean well, this in an old fashioned flag raiser that lacks good direction and the acting could be better. It's a good story, just not given a very convincing treatment.
