You can't fly jets if you're color blind.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

More clips of this movie

Originated from the movie "Little miss sunshine".

When you dreamed of something for a long time that you wanna accomplish (eg: dream job, or other goals) but later on you realise you can't achieve it because of a disability you have and/or other things stopping or preventing you from doing that spesific thing.

Dwayne : I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.

Frank : Do you know who Marcel Proust is?

Dwayne : He's the guy you teach.

Frank : Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.

Frank : [after Dwayne reads an eye test pamphlet and finds he may be colourblind, destroying his life goal of enlisting in the Air Force]  You can't fly jets if you're colourblind.

[Dwayne immediately falls into an emotional breakdown; Frank, Olive and Sheryl all yell for Richard to pull over the vehicle] 

Dwayne : [Dwayne springs from the stopped van into an empty field]  *FUCK!*

[collapses, screaming and sobbing, breaking his nine-month vow of silence] 

Sheryl : What happened?

Frank : He's colourblind. He can't fly.

Sheryl : Oh, Jesus... oh, no.

Sheryl : [waits several moments, then approaches Dwayne]  Dwayne...? Dwayne, honey, I'm sorry. Dwayne, come on. We have to go.

Dwayne : I'm not going.

Sheryl : Dwayne...

Dwayne : I said *I'm not*, okay? I don't care, I'm not getting on that bus again.

Sheryl : Dwayne, for better or worse, we're your family...

Dwayne : [stands up]  No, you're *not* my family, okay? I don't want to *be* your family! I *hate* you fucking people! *I hate you!* Divorce? Bankrupt? Suicide? You're fucking *losers*! You are losers!

Sheryl : [whispers]  Dwayne...

Dwayne : [begins to cry again]  No, *please* just leave me here, Mom. Okay? Please, *please*. Please just leave me here.

[sits back down, crying continues]

For those who hadn't seen this movie this kid took a vow of silence until he got accepted into the air force academy. This is the first line he has.

level 1

Was with a guy at work and we walked past a car. I said, "That's a different green color for a car." It was like a mint greenish color Ford Fusion. He said, "What do you mean? It's gray." We went back to our office and did a colorblind test on the computer. He just found out in his 30's that he was colorblind.

level 2

That is weird as fuck. That kind of stuff makes me paranoid, like maybe I'm broken in some way and I just don't know it yet.

level 2

That's only for civilian, not military like the character was wanting to go. So he still would be SOL.

level 1

This was honestly the most real, and heartbreaking scene in the film. Especially when he goes on to call everyone out in his anger/frustration. Ugh, so good.

level 1

Fantastic movie.

Everyone was great but Steve Carell and Paul Dano really got the chance to shine and they did.

level 2

Abigail Breslin blew my mind. She was what like 6?

level 2

Paul Dano is amazing in every role I've ever seen him in.

level 1

I was just thinking of this movie

Thanks for posting going to go watch it now

level 2

For whatever reason this clip doesn't wanna play for me.....

level 2

Yay F1 being talked about again outside of r/formula1

level 1

at 32 seconds he grabs the paper from her, at 38 she's still holding it, 41 he has it in his hands again.

Not really that important I guess.

I've never seen this movie, but having recently watched the entire run of The Office US I'm now kind of in the mood for a Steve Carell flick.

level 2

it's soooooo great. Carell isn't the typical Carell in it, but he's fantastic in this movie...

Alan Arkin and Abigail Breslin absolutely steal the movie though for me.

It's great though. Give it a watch

level 2

Don't watch this movie for carell, but do watch this movie because it's great.

level 1

At least no one drank his milkshake.

These sort of videos are usually played up for views. It's likely none of them have just had their world shattered like they act over a few colors.

level 2

Why do they call it a "try not to cry challenge?" I cried from the first to the last and I rarely cry. The title really makes you feel set up to fail haha amazing video, thanks for sharing

Can you fly jets if you are colorblind?

If you fail a color vision test, you can still become a pilot. However, you'll be limited to daytime operations and won't be able to fly at night or accept ATC color signals. In addition, you can ask to take alternate color vision tests at a vision specialist.

Can you be a pilot if you're colorblind?

A Private Pilot License falls under a third-class medical certificate. If during your FAA physical exam you fail the pseudoisochromatic color plate test, your medical certificate will be issued with restrictions. Your certificate will read “Not valid for night flying or by color signal controls.”
