HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- What starts out as a relatively cordial conversation turns extremely uncomfortable as Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) and Lt. Commander Galloway (Demi Moore) ask Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson) the hard-hitting questions.
Watch A Few Good Men Now: AAN.SonyPicture...
Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore star in Rob Reiner's unanimously acclaimed drama about the dangerous difference between following orders and following one's conscience. Cruise stars as a brash Navy lawyer who's teamed with a gung-ho litigator (Moore) in a politically explosive murder case. Charged with defending two Marines accused of killing a fellow soldier, they are confronted with complex issues of loyalty and honor, including its most sacred code and its most formidable warrior (Nicholson). Superbly directed with a trio of powerhouse performances and an outstanding supporting cast including Kevin Pollak, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon.

You can't really better this level of acting.. it is a cinematic masterpiece.
Yeah but this movie is boring af
All three of them were masterful. Demi wasn’t letting herself get pushed around by men. I think I’m in love with her!😂
she's not only beautiful but, strikes me as someone that would be easy to be around.
@@Geojr815 I disagree. This movie is kind of silly, but not boring. Very well acted, well scripted, well directed, but kind of silly when it makes a big deal about standing a guard post in Cuba. I stood a guard post on a nuclear missile base in West Germany during the Cold War. Talk about boring.
@@harveypratt995You clearly didn't research what she did for men....to get into the industry
As a Marine who served back in the day, I must tell you that all of these actors did outstanding jobs portraying Navy and Marine personnel... Jack Nicholson however; played the part of a hard core Marine Colonel with 100% conviction!! He is the ultimate character actor!!
Good old days huh? Today he would get fired the moment he opened his mouth lol. US Military is not a bunch of cowboys running around doing as they please. It’s discipline and subordination. Also respect
@@DimitriTheBarbarian The US military of today is just like any other corporation. Overweight women in HR call the shots, transgenderism, homosexuality and 'pride' is valued above all else, and White men are the enemy.
It sucks.
@@DimitriTheBarbarian have you ever watched this movie? Its actually a bullshit end. The guy died from some allergic reaction or something that should have been discovered in medical. It wasn't Nicholson's character's fault. He thought the guy was being a total pussy. I also never understood why the other guy killed himself. Its good acting but the story is actually pretty retarded.
@@DimitriTheBarbarian Talk about discipline and subordination and respect to boot...very funny coming from someone calling himself ' TheBarbarian '
@@DimitriTheBarbarian I honestly doubt that. Starting with the frequency of sexual assaults in the military to the massive abuse of recruits leading to injury and death during hell week, I don't think that much has changed. But frankly, being "nice" doesn't win wars either. You don't beat the enemy by inquiring first about the proper gender pronouns before giving orders.
What a truly memorable scene. Jack was so incredibly bold and realistically intimidating, heightening the intensity of the moment to it’s highest level. No one else could have been more convincing.
Of course there were others that could have been that convincing. But he was the one they chose for the role and he did a great job. Don’t be so narrow minded and naive.
silly and cringe
@@OtaBengaBokongo exactly
i remember hearing that Jack worked a total of 10 days for this movie and got paid $500k per day
@@aabartender7651 Anhhh, what’s your point. That’s normal. “A” list actors often have 20ish days of principle photography and make $20 million.
This scene really sets up the courtroom showdown well…how the dynamics and demeanor between them eventually dramatically shift.
@@Synthalog talking about it setting up the future court scene…you misread my comment.
But also you later realize that Kaffee got pissed from Jessep disrespect to Galloway, so whithout loosing his cool he asked for the transcript just to provoke Jessep, and it worked, Now he knows how to push his buttons. What an amazing script.
Jack hasn’t acted in over 10 years but this last NBA season he was at a home Lakers game in his usual court side seat, his pic went up on the big screen and the whole crowd gave him a big ovation. I’m so glad that he was able to enjoy that.
Damn I don't know why thought he was dead.
Legendary actors like Gene hackman, Jack Nicholson and Joe pesci all quit acting because nowadays In Hollywood you need to identify which political spectrum you belong to or which sexuality you are or which pronoun you need to use.
@@Frzn1776 I don't know other's situation, but in Nicholson's case, he stop acting only because he's too old now.
@@ckymadam there are old guys who still acts like Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino etc to these guys are already bought and sold their values. But there are few who never bend the knee. They simply quit and retired.
@@Frzn1776 Acting is a JOB and people do RETIRE from them ..................................Everything is NOT a CONSPIRACY
If that isn’t one of the top 10 most intense scenes in cinematic history, I don’t know what is. Jack Nicholson’s acting was nothing short of masterful. The tension is palpable.
The same could be said for most of Jack's work, right up until The Departed.
Definitely in the all-time top-5, IMO, along with Javier Bardem's scene with the gas station owner in No Country for Old Men.
@@doctorfeelok8575 and colonel landa in basterds openings scene
and the thing is in that movie, Nicholson only had a few appearances and only a few days of filming, but did great. I heard they did the courtroom scene many times over. Actors like Nicholson are perfectionist, and they expect the ones around them to be great also or they aren't satisfied.
@@ChrisBarnesGoesEEEEEE Well, hello! That scene in Saving Private Ryan was intense because it had tons of action, violence, explosions, etc. Jack Nicholson achieves intensity with his facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. No need for explosions.
You know......
This movie never gets old
Love this movie, Jack played his role to perfection, "what a guy"
Nah this movie is lame
@@Geojr815 As is your taste in movies.
@@Livinghighandwise naahhh
I'd say he played it well because it's not far removed from his actual personality.
@@Geojr815 Your opinion is just as valid as mine and I will fight for your right to have your own opinion, the only difference is you are wrong. no offence meant. have a good day.
Jack Nicholson was an absolute beast on the screen. the way Jack smirks after Tom Cruise asks him nicely... it's gold....
the way Jack smirks after Tom Cruise asks him nicely... it's gold...
1990-1995 was a gold mine of films. This one is right at the top.
1996 had Fargo and Sling Blade.
Not a huge fan of law or military subject matter movies. But every time I see one random scene from this movie, I have to watch the whole movie again.
Truly the best movie I've seen!
I've had family in the military, so it intrigues me and I live in a city with a high crime rate. So Court Dramas and Crime Dramas in general are something of a fascination for me. Yet with this movie, not so much about learning more of the terms of either, but noticing that much like every aspect of a developed country's life, there is bound to be a sliver of corruption. I mean let's just say I didn't see this movie, know who Jack Nicholson is or even knew what it was about, yet if I watched it for the first time, knowing what I did know, I'd know Jessup was evil simply because of his attitude.
"Colonel, can I pretty please, with a cherry on top, have a copy of the transfer order?"
"Pretty please, with a cherry on top, send me that fuckin' transfer order"
You can tell a masterpiece. You remember each scene like its an individual mini movie
Fantastic acting by Nicholson. Even his ears did their part: they moved back to demonstrate assertiveness, when he was making his point at 3:44. 😆
What a dog!
I saw that too 😂
Good catch.
Yeah! I noticed that right away. His face became somewhat of a wolf-like.
@@Blue0000FFWhich no doubt served him well when he appeared in Wolf, 2 years later.
I just realize that Kaffee got pissed from Jessep disrespect to Lt. Galloway,
so he instinctively and whithout loosing his cool asks for the transfer order just to provoke Jessep, and it worked, now he knows how to push his buttons and will be underestimaded . What an amazing script.
if you're not intimidated by Nicholson just by watching this movie, you are an extraordinarily brave man in my book.
The arrogance and vanity of Colonel Jessup has been laid out so well in this scene. This will ultimately be his downfall in the courtroom scene, and Lt. Kaffee knew how to exploit this weakness of the colonel to the fullest.
That's one way to approach the scene from a civilian perspective. I see a sympathetic character who's seen through hell called Vietnam only to be left a shell of himself in the contemporary expected protect while getting castrated
No one else could have played that role. It was meant for Jack. The best role of his career IMHO.
Jack Nicholson was an absolute beast on the screen
Back when dialog movies were great. No silly unrealistic action scenes.
Well the movie is actually based on Sorkin's play, which may account for the excellent dialogue.
One of the best scenes in film history.
Everyone in this movie was brilliant. Couldn't have asked for a better cast.
This is just such a great film. And one that you can watch over and over too.
Great Actor. When I saw this move in the theater - I had no doubt Mr. Nicholson would win the Oscar
He didn't win the Oscar for this, just nominated! Hackman won the Oscar in this category,however 5 years later, Jack won an Oscar for As good as it gets, his 3rd!
One of the most epic movie scenes of all times😊👏🏽👍🏽💪🏽
the transfer order was the whole reason for the trip. but this is the moment kaffee realizes jessup's ego is his downfall and that allowing himself to be humiliated here is a small price to pay to bring this mfer down. great scene.
Allowing yourself to be humiliated is literally the military. People throw their weight around when they have rank on you and because they have rank on you there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.
You analyzing too much. This scene is just what it is - people from DC who never experienced this type of disrespect so they are in shock and scared more than anything
I think when Jessup berated Kaffee, it made him determined to solve the case when he previously he was pretty much dismissive about their case holding any chance of winning
@@DimitriTheBarbarianThink you're under analyzing. He wasn't scared of that dude at all. He was surprised by the superior's lack of discipline and decorum after making multiple attempts to stop his superior from interrogating that asshole. Shelley hit it correctly, it set him on the path to solving the case AND it showed his weakness. His pride.
@@shuatastic listen more closely to the scene. The guy sexually harasses a high rank female officer in front of other people. Nobody says a word. This takes place in old days when a guy like this was unlimited power and was a battle-hardened killer. You cannot judge the scene from modern-day perspective
2:30 Cruise's "Let's go" is simultaneously gravely serious and hilarious
Jack was something in this movie. As to this scene and the scene in the court, this man is a legend. I don’t think there is anyone who can do this character like he did. He literally took the movie to box office hit. Jack is god in this movie.
Love the detail of Kendrick laughing in the background as you would expect from a character like that.
3:51 I love the look on Tom Cruise’s face.
Asking for the order surprised Jessup. “The file” threw him for a loop. He knew this was an investigation that was going deeper than he imagined. His facial expression and angry, quirky request for respect and nicety’s said it all. Another well played scene by Jack.
I think it was the way he demanded it instead of asked for it that pissed him off.
@@buchaneb you could be right. Galloway was pushy throughout. Kaffee was pretty casual. Though I believe Jessup screwed up and woke a sleeping bear in Kaffee. The way Jessup came down on him, insulting him, trying to intimidate him and just being weirdly off center. Jessup ignited the fire in Kaffee.
@@harveypratt995 for sure! I don’t think Jessup took any of it that seriously until he was being put into handcuffs. Everyone was beneath him.
Nicety's? Really? You missed the class on apostrophe use AND the one on take-off-the-y-add-ies, huh?
I disagree that Jack or Jessup got the slightest in panic mode over the file request ...Rather simply got pissy over Kaffee getting lax casual with his tone ..Jessup obviously knew Kaffee or the representative department were serious when they..Ya know...Showed Up
Jessup's ego is massive.
That is how to command and run a battalion.
@@JeanJuliusVernal he got a man under his command killed.
@@JeanJuliusVernal I don't think Jessup would be able to command a battalion to battle. The moment a stray bullet whistles near his head he would have a mental breakdown: "How dares the cuban army to shoot at colonel?!?"
Fun Fact: In the original stage production that the movie is based on, Col. Jessup was played by Stephen Lang (Avatar), another great actor.
another great actor but no STAR POWER.
Without this scene the courtroom scene wouldn't make sense. Here is where they realized the colonel had a flaw that they could exploit.
The acting is absolutely pivotal in this scene (and the corresponding famous "you can't handle the truth" court room scene at the end). With lesser actors, the idea that you just wave a red flag at a colonel and make him yell himself into prison would seem ridiculous. But with this kind of writing and this kind of acting, it makes perfect sense.
Nobody could of played that role better than Jack.
Could have
You assume that English is their first language. Kind OF ASSumptive on your part, eh?
@@Mkundera
When i was a young man, i related to Tom. A LOT - i wanted to change the world too.
When i got older, and saw how the sausage gets made - i related to Jack's Character.
Real shit.
0:18 I just love how he writes people off because of their lack of experience.
“I gave it its due attention”
Meaning he probably looked at it, and put it in the shredder.
I served in the US Navy! 🇺🇸.This is a great movie by Rob Reiner!
Kaibil here.
Rob Reiner got a 5 star performance out of each and every cast member. This is easily one of the best films of everyone's career.
Jack has a very commanding presence in this movie. His way to literally intimidate Tom like that and you feel the sense of superiority off him.
2:00 it pains him to tell a lie to the point where he can’t even categorically deny code reds happen. he believes he was in the right to order the code red, and even though it resulted in Santiago‘s death, he still believes he did the right thing. Tom Cruise has the correct instinct saying “ I think he wants to say it, I think he’s dying to say it!!”
Correct. The horrible thing about having an effective military is, there's an optimal number of peacetime deaths that corresponds to the best attainable condition of the fighting force and wartime objectives met with the fewest fatalities, but that optimal number of peacetime deaths is greater than zero.
He WAS100% Correct in Ordering the Code Red !!! Period
@@maintainingmomentum Nope if he ordered a code red to make Santiago a better marine that might be one thing but the guy was already transferred out Jessup did it because Santiago had written a critical letter this was entirely about revenge.
@@Paul-vf2wl But he Wasn't transfered out. Jessup just said he was.
"Of course, my problem is I'm a Colonel, so I'll to go on taking cold showers until they elect some gal president."
🤣🤣🤣
Or make one a general...
Curnal not Colonel
A Colonel would have many, many, many superior officers above him, including many female Generals. I'm related to one. In no way would a Colonel report directly to the President. Hollywood! 🤦🏻♂
She should have said, "Well only if your picky about it being a girl"
@@bobwoods1302 Wouldn't have gone over well with a machismo marine colonel in the early 90s in the military.
Nicholson was in an old movie The Last Detail where he was a sailor and he randy quiad and another sailor got into a brawl with some marines. Its a great movie
Literally laying his ears back, "You gotta ask me nicely!" FOR REAL intimidating.
Being that i have meet many Marine Colonels on and off duty. I have alot of respect for them but some of them act the same way Jack did.
Without Jack creating the tension this film is a medicore romp.
Nicholson did an outstanding acting job in this movie 10 /10 ....
Weinberg made sure he didn't say a single word, he was the smart one.
yeah its kind of a bummer we didnt get to see Weinberg react to the Colonel's comment about getting a BJ from a superior officer. Maybe he chucked at it?
1:38 Do you hear the laughing? That is Weinberg's reaction to Jessup's smutty twaddle ;-)
@@Oleariusnice
He had no responsibilities there whatsoever.
In the world of acting and film. I think Jack Nicholson did the best acting of all time in this film
Jack Nicholson 'outranks everyone' in this scene.
Superbly put.
Jack Nicholson plays the same guy in every movie, and I am here for it
And you 'don't know' when 'to' use inverted 'commas'.
@@markfox1545 ,get well soon ,you sick fellow!
Like the way he did it, still without saying "please".
There isn't a critique to this scene, it's just perfect.
*This scene could have a real touch of IRONY and NOSTALGIA in a few weeks*
one of the best sequences in cinematic history....nicholson is a legend
This is such a great film. "The colonel doesn't need to answer that" linked to the end scene
Nicholson really crushed this part. He's only in 2 scenes in the first 35 minutes and we don't see him again until the climax. This is all the set up needed to know what's coming and he's presented as such a strong character that by the end it's basically him against the whole courtroom, not just Kaffee.
Jack Nicholson is an acting heavy weight, he was outstanding in this movie.
the writing and the acting are excellent ..
Nicholson , Pacino, De Niro, Williams, Connery, in one epic movie would be a movie of your class that will never be outclassed in a thousand years - methinks.
2:00 This is the line that refutes any argument that Jessup is an honorable man. He’s fine with something illegal happening as long as it cannot be pinned it to him or his officers. A good commanding officer wouldn’t allow anything to go on under his command without his knowledge.
If Privates Dawson and Downey acted under their own volition, Jessup would be blaming Kendrick for not keeping his men in line. This is why he gets caught in a lie during his testimony. He KNOWS no man under his command would be daring enough to do something so blatantly illegal that would look bad on Kendrick and himself
You mean the man that suggested she was better off giving blowjobs than asking questions and cooperation with the internal investigators required being asked nicely a second time after calling their uniforms faggy wasn't a good guy?
Actually this is exactly what a commanding officer of an infantry unit would do. Hazing is pretty normal. Ordering the code red himself was where he fucked up but they all turn a blind eye because it’s good training. Santiago was a terrible infantry marine as shown in the opening scenes of the movie but the NCO’s in his platoon should’ve handled it, not him.
@@ShroomDoggyDogg You are correct. The officers set the standards and objectives they want to be reached. It is the NCO's duty to train the junior enlisted, and supervise to ensure those standards and objectives are met. The only time the colonel should have even heard Santiago's name was when he was signing papers for his removal. No lieutenant I have ever known would have involved a colonel in regards to disciplining a soldier at the squad or platoon level, much less in a line unit.
@@dashhuber2901The difference is Santiago wrote a letter criticizing the unit. Jessup did this as revenge.
I still think about him in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Terms Of Endearment... Brilliant performer.
I'm amazed that the XO went along with this.
One of the best movies I’ve seen. And that soundtrack!
I actually re-watched shortly after posting that comment 😂
You're correct.
What a great movie this is
Jack Nicholson est toujours exceptionnel, il porte le film.
Le voir jouer, c'est un véritable bonheur.
Talk about setting up a character.. Beautiful direction.
amazing actors!! glad i grew up watching them
Yes Sir refuse to cooperate with an investigation ,and receive your Article 15
"....do code red still happen on this Facebook.." That caption though.
He made two mistakes during this convo. His ego with Galloway followed by his ego with Kaffee. Honestly they wouldn't have pushed as hard to take him down if he hadn't been such an ass with them.
Not exactly his ego. His ego gave away his guilt. He didn't like that they asked for things that can prove him guilty of a serious crime
Narcissists cannot help themselves and he is one to the Nth degree.
this was a fictional movie with a written script… it was brilliantly conceived & written by Aaron Sorokin
Jack is perfect in these roles. Like to see him as a police captain investigating a very violent crime where his leadership becomes the element that captures the bad guys.
This is a different movie with the colorful language left intact.
Super crunchy. Most people need respect, whoever they may or may not be
How did JN move his ears when extremely irritated. Incredible.
Jessep always acted like he was straight on the front in a battlefield but there literally werent any batlles were there? was he even under fire from bombs etc. at all?
I believe according to the story he did use to fight in Vietnam, but he wasn't fighting any wars at this point (90's), definitely, and he was inflating the importance of his post as the commandant of gitmo
When you realize Cuba would sign its own death warrant, if it tried to attack US forces, then you know he was lying about his importance.
“ with your fa getty whites! “
😂
This movie was excellent overall, but Nicholson in particular gave one of the greatest performances of his career in it. He just stole every single scene.
1:08 Looking at this scene, I can't help but see the smile marks of The Joker they enhanced in Burton's Batman. With that character in mind, it makes Jessup's mindset that much crazier
2:30 when lawyers fuck with the Infantry……… 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I have watched this movie like 30 times. Love this movie
Makes me want to see this movie again.
"You have to ask me nicely."
He did ask him nicely the first time.
“Badass” Buddusky in Last Detail.
I love how Tom Cruise's character had the strategy to provoke and disrespect Jessup's ego... Basically BY BEING TOM CRUISE. LOL
Good old Tom and his clenched Jaw.
Nicholson is one of a kind.
Jack! He is the badass actor of our day
One of the best movies I ever watched
Americans get medals for being lawyers. LOL
Which medals so you see?
Ron DeSantis is a prime example of that.
Am excellent example of what does around, comes around. That arrogant demeanor comes back to bury him.
Jack is my fav and his gangster version of the joker still to this day the best
Legendary
What a legend.
Beautifully done 😊
Priceless
Jack out there wildin 😂
Chilling every time.
The smile of the crocodile at 3:59.
