      Yep. Except I saw it on Broadway, before the film was made, with Tom Hulce as Kaffee and Stephen Lang as Jessup. The dialog in the scene is pretty much the same between the play and the film. When Lang yelled out "You're Goddamned right I did!" the audience also gasped, no one saw that coming. And Lang's performance was quite powerful.

      While I agree it IS an awesome scene, I can't go as far as saying the "greatest scene in any film". I think the scene in "Men of Honor" with Cuba Gooding Jr. & Rober De Niro "I want my 12 steps" is very powerful as well. And I could throw in Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman" where he defends Chris O'Donnell's character and perhaps even several different scenes from "The Green Mile" come to mind. MY problem is that I can't classify just ONE great scene from a movie... that's just how I personally see it. I'm all over the place and can't decide on ONE "great scene"!!! Lol

      @osmanyousif7849 3 года назад +16

      The thing about how Aaron Sorkin writes is how he times the dialogue and counts every syllable. Look at his films, The American President, Charlie Wilson's War, The West Wing, The Social Network, and Moneyball. Lines are always being repented 2-5 more times than the average writing would do so. The Social Network had over 22 repented sentences in one scene (the one with Jesse Eisenberg on his date with Rooney Mara). Some call this writing style "heighten language dialogue". The goal Sorkin claims is to make dialogue where the characters are smarter than everyone else (including himself).

    Jessups greatest strength and weakness is his Pride. He is a highly decorated commander and he prides himself with the responsibility of guarding a base which has enemies on the other side that can attack anytime soon.
    He is so proud of what he does, he would not accept that he has a substandard soldier. Instead of medically discharging Santiago, he acted on his ego and opted to just brutalize the poor guy thinking this would make Santiago a better soldier, and him a better commander. When things went down south quickly, he cut lose two pawns, and he thought that his rank (Which brought power) would let him get away with it. Think of him as a tiger parent who wont accept that he has a child who could not get straight As.
    Here we see him let his ego get the better of him. He was asked if he ordered the code red, and the Presiding Judge told him he did not need to answer it. He did answer it in a fit of rage because he felt insulted that someone like Keffee who did not even earn his rank by being a combat soldier would question him on how he commands his soldiers. Its like when that kid questions his tiger parent Dad why he is so obsessed with those straight As, and the dad feels offended because he pays the bills and puts food on the table. Jessup thought that Keffe has no right to ask him questions like that, and being the fanatic he is to his uniform and rank melts down and confesses to ordering the code red.

      While I don't condone hazing, it's not like Dawson and Downey went with intent to do harm to Santiago, nor was Jessup looking to have him killed. As he said, "We're going to train the lad." And then specifically tell Kendrick that he wants Santiago making top marks by his next performance eval. They wanted to make Santiago into the model of the Marine Corps.
      The problem was the unrecognized heart condition, and as a veteran with startling similar symptoms as they said Santiago had, I am extremely comfortable in believing that they were describing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (yes, it's real, not just something they toss around on House). My condition wasn't discovered until I had been in nearly 10 years. There were no symptoms early off, in fact I cleared my run (1.5 mile) in BMT with a time of 10m32s. Not incredibly fast, but it was fast enough for Honor Grad. By the time my condition was diagnosed, I couldn't keep pace on runs no matter how hard I tried. I was at 25 minutes by the time I cleared all six laps. My PT tests, as a result, were all failures. My chain pushed me hard to improve, I had times where SNCOs would pop out of nowhere with a weighted pack and have me walk flights, or go run, or whatever.
      During one group PT session, I said screw it, I'm going to push hard as I can. And I did. I was out front leading the pack for half a mile. Then I fell back. Then I slowed to a crawl. So badly, that our PTL was beside me and took me into the nurse's station at our facility. I wound up in the ER, where they ruled out a full blown heart attack, but an exam and some follow-on tests found an obstruction, and I had a diagnosis. Until then, no one knew. Not even me. I was even told the Commander was prepping to bring me up on Malingering charges, they thought I was faking the run problems. Post diagnosis, I was put on a run waiver and instead completed walking versions (they're harder to pass, trust me). I was apologized to over and over because they realized they were quite literally pushing me to death to pass the test... but they didn't know.
      The problem is the overall culture surrounding medical issues in the military. Even the doctor in the movie, looked at a Marine complaining of classic heart-related symptoms, and gave him a clean bill of health. And probably some Motrin. Rather than giving him a complete workup to see if there was an actual problem. Without a medical diagnosis, command staff treated this a corrective training issue... because if you're the square peg, they will bust your ass to shave your corners until you fit through that round hole.
      No, doesn't excuse the hazing in violation of ALCOM's directive, and because it resulted in the death of Santiago, made matters worse. Then there's the cover-up after the fact, and that goes down a whole new rabbit hole of wrong way beyond the issue. Aside for those actions, everything they had done was in line with military culture. You don't send someone packing because they can't run... you work with them to get back up to standards. I mean, guy was in, right? That means he'd been through Basic, he'd been through all the medical checks at MEPS... he'd done it at some point. And he was still boot, so it wasn't all that long ago, shouldn't stand to reason that he was capable? Anyway, point is that military leaders and command staff need to take a harder look when the people under their command are showing obvious problems, and get them checked out fully. I don't know where I'd be right now if mine hadn't been caught, but it's not hard to imagine a place very similar to Santiago. At the very best, I'd have probably been BCD'd and still undiagnosed to this day. Just one fateful run that had the nurses thinking I was about to crash that got me the care I needed. Santiago wasn't so lucky.
      ... because, you know, plot.

      Jessup was an outright narcissist. This is why he can absolutely not tolerate even the smallest perceived slights or failures to express what he would consider to be proper respect. This is why when he berated Markinson for questioning him in front of another officer, Jessup made sure to throw his promotions and acquired rank into Markinson's face. He gets off on making others feel smaller than him, and will stoop to sexually harassing an officer in order to make her feel comfortable because he didn't like the questions she was asking, nor her tone.
      For all his grandiose bluster about honor and duty; I think the man merely worshiped himself, and merely touted patriotism as a means to garner the praise and adulation that he craved. He thought that he was beyond reproach, he lacked empathy nor did he take responsibility for his actions, has an almost pathological need to dominate and put down others; this guy is just a dead-ringer for narcissm.

Kaffee started off with an irrelevant line of questioning, battering of witness and submitting inadmissable evidence such as tower logs. The Judge said he will hold Lt. Kaffee on grounds of contempt and anything Jessup said afterwards would have been inadmissable at a retrial.

    "Jack?" I love the pause and expression Kevin Bacon gives when after Jessup's speech Cruise prompts Bacon to answer the judge. With one word Cruise shows the friendship that him and Bacon have as well as his exhaustion of the trial, and Bacon, just by pausing and nodding, shows the magnitude of what Jessup just did and what's about to transpire in Jessup's life. Acting at its finest.

    Jack Nicholson did more than just tell a story.. Him and Marlon Brando I believe were neighbors and both of them knew how to bring themselves more so than just tell a story to a role. Both actor's studied with Stella Adler concerning "imagination" or "imaginations"... and it brings it to life and when you study like that... "One flew over the coo coos nest", "The Shining"... He's bringing so much imagination to the role that you're really focused only on him in this courtroom scene...

    Something that this clip doesn't make people privy to is the fact that Kaffee has been, for lack of better words, pressing Jessup's buttons for quite some time at this point - that was probably the reason why Jessup said "YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!" at the end of the interrogation

    • @mardiffv.8775

      Yes indeed, Kaffee started to push Jessup's buttoms in Cuba by unrespectfully demanding the transfer order of Santiago.
      Then in the courtroom with the weak questions about the phone bills and cloths of Santiago.
      The pause of Kaffee saying nothing and Jessup thought he was off the hook. So he wanted to walk out of the courtroom, Kaffee stopped in unrespectfully by calling him Jessup, not colonel or Sir. Annoying Jessup.
      And then this cross exam, where Kaffee caught Jessup telling a lie, making Jessup really angry.
      Finanly the hate of Jessup toward Kaffee, Jessup regarded Kaffee and other navy lawyers as weak civilian in a grotesk uniform. Causing Jessup to confess his crime and fun fact; Jessup did not know how serious his crime was.
