I couldn't find the movie scene, but I did find the poem Viggo Mortensen used in the movie "G.I. Jane". I like the poem, it was direct without being brash, it criticized but it did not condemn.
Self-pity
I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
David Herbert Lawrence

I'm a lot of people have read this book. When I stumbled on the made for television version, I just had to share it.
Much has been reported about the rescue of Chilean miners. What I did not know since I did not keep tabs on the news, was the "conflict" regarding Johnny Barrios. Apparently while he and his colleagues were trapped, he commented that if they were going to be rescued, would his wife or mistress be there to welcome him. I'll let the video do the talking.
