    If an order is unethical, illegal, or immoral you have a duty to disobey, no matter who ordered the code red. Ever since the Nuremburg trials where the German soldiers said they were just following orders we have taught our US military members the rules to disobey. I served 20 years and commanded a squadron with UCMJ (uniform code of military justice) responsibility.

      Meant no disrespect here.
      But, you can't really compare the Holocaust and a Code Red order.
      And without all the health conditions of the victim, he most likely would've been fine after receiving the CR.
      And since CR was a common practice under Jessep's command, there's just no way Dawson, Downey, or any of the other men would question, let alone, refuse that order.

    There's a fantastic story on Jack Nicholson's last speech and the rehearsals, or rather when they were filming the lines and reactions of the other actors during the speech; Jack Nicholson volunteered to give his lines off camera just so his cast members would have something to bounce off on. Apparently the director Rob Reiner got a little worried that Nicholson was blowing some of his best stuff while they weren't even filming him, but as it happened each and every line delivery was exactly like the one they wound up filming when it was Nicholson's turn on camera. :) Consummate professional right there.

    It seemed that there was a period when they took the young actors of the time and paired them with the older greats. Another of this type of movie starring Cruse is the Color of Money with Paul Newman which is the sequel to Newman's older film the Hustler. Pretty good movie(s).

    Fantastic video, Madison. Your Film Fridays are hitting on all cylinders. Congratulations on reaching 13,000 subscribers. I'm not sure if _A Few Good Men_ is the first Aaron Sorkin-scripted film or TV series you've watched, but considering you're a writer, I'd strongly recommend diving into more of his work. He's made some useful observations on his writing process that I don't always agree with, but are illuminating and certainly serve him well. Sorkin is big on what he calls "intention and obstacle."
    "What I need before I can do anything is intention and obstacle. Okay? Someone wants something. Somebody is standing in their way of getting it. They want the money, they want the girl, they want to get to Philadelphia. It doesn’t matter, but they’ve got to really want it bad and whatever’s standing in their way has got to be formidable. I need those things and I need for them to be really solid, or else I will slip into my old habit back when I was twenty-one with the electric typewriter of just writing snappy dialogue that doesn’t add up to anything."

    Brutally honest here - the people responsible for Santiago's death are the medical personnel who lazily diagnosed him with heat exhaustion because they couldn't be bothered to treat their patient as a human being rather than an obstacle to them getting off work early. Probably the most realistic thing in the movie is the incompetence of military medical staff.

    I was actually in front of a Navy judge in a military courtroom four times in seven months-- I didn't kill anyone, it was all for traffic offenses on base. I was able to plead one of my tickets to get thrown out but not the last 3. I was ordered to go to traffic school or lose my driving privilege on base. Each experience was actually very fun and interesting. I was also disappointed to find out that military courtrooms are NOT as fancy as the one you see in this movie.
    Also, in the military, you are required by law to follow orders from your superiors. However, there is such a thing as unlawful orders and you are obligated not to follow them. However, determining on your own what's lawful and what's unlawful is a position you never wanna find yourself in. If you follow an unlawful order, you're as guilty as the superior officer ordering you to do it, however if YOUR definition of what is unlawful doesn't match what your other superior officers feel is unlawful, then you're guilty of disobeying a lawful order. It's such a sticky situation. Military law is a mess but then again so is civilian law.

    Fun fact, some of the dialogue shot from the back of Jack Nicholson's head was added in with the assistant attorney (Kevin Pollack) doing a Jack Nicholson impression. Nicholson's lines were completed, and he costs a fortune a second to be on set. Rather than bring him back, they asked if Pollack could do the lines, and Nicholson agreed. Pollack was a comedian who did impressions in his early career. He was pretty good. He would do famous roles as if played by different actors, and it was great.

    As a veteran I am so happy you watched this movie. "The we were supposed to fight for Willie" gets me every time. Yes, this is exactly right. I loved your reaction. Conduct unbecoming a US. Marine unfortunately the military has standards of honor, integrity, etc. so that is the only charge really, they failed, but the poor men were misled and used as scapegoats. The military does allow for you NOT to follow an unlawful order, but even then, you may pay consequences in the moment for not following an order, but in the end not following an unlawful order means not being held accountable or brought up on criminal charges. For Demi Moore's character she wasn't selected not because she wasn't a woman, but because they knew she would fight, and they wanted the cast swept under the rug. This cast was amazing. Demi was great she knew she wasn't lead but she saw potential in Tom's character. I loved it. It was cute their semi flirty relationship too. Jack Nickleson always plays amazing villains.

It's the last classic from a string of classics that director Rob Reiner made in different genres from 1984 to 1992. His movies started to lose that special touch after this one, with maybe one or two exceptions. If you want to see another outstanding legal drama, you have to watch "12 Angry Men" from 1957 (not the remake). It's truly amazing. I think you would love it!

He co-starred with Paul Newman in The Color of Money. A film which got several Oscar noms, and for which Newman won best actor. Years earlier, a very young Paul Newman starred with Jackie Gleason in a film called The Hustler. The movie centered around a pool match between legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason) and Fast Eddie Felson (Newman). The color of money finds an older Eddie Felson trying to teach Cruise's character the ropes. Really 2 very well done films.

It won Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar and co-stars Denzel Washington in a role that is seldom mentioned in relation to his stellar career, but in my opinion is one of his best performances. It's a fantastic movie and a very important one in relation to its content and its time. It would be well worth a reaction video.

    Tom cruise is almost unrecognizable in the movie Tropic Thunder. Crazy movie. You should react to it.

    43:43 I think even more important was what he said to him: "you don't need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor." that is something which would have changed his whole outlook on life after being in the forces.

    Aaron Sorkin wrote this as a play. Aaron Sorkin is one of the greatest TV writers of all time. He wrote almost the first four seasons of The West Wing by himself. His ability is otherwordly.

    i'm sure you noticed that at the beginning of the movie Kaffee thinks he was assigned the case because he was a great lawyer. at the arraignment he finally discovers that he was assigned to this case because the brass wanted a plea bargain. also the on/off contention between he and Galloway only masked what she really thought of him.she knew he was the right counsel for the defendants.

    This was a really great video.
    It’s such a delight to see your raw and honest response to such excellent filmmaking.
    And I really appreciated your personal thoughts on Tom Cruise as an actor.
    Your acknowledgment and appreciation for his honed skills at his craft.
    There is a weird flow in the ether of how people perceive him.
    He’s a brilliant actor who’s made many extraordinary films.
    Going to recommend two of
    Tom Cruise’s greatest performances.
    “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989)
    “Interview With a Vampire” (1994)
    Both these films are extraordinary.
    And Tom Cruise is as you’ve never seen him in both of them.

    Hey Madison, I love this movie and I honestly believe it is one of the more underrated movies of the last 30 years. I SUBSCRIBED (and gave likes) on both my RUclips accounts because you reacted to this.
    If you haven't, can you also do reactions to "Something About Mary" and Meet the Parents & Fockers? Those are 3 great and underrated comedies and not many reactions on RUclips.

    Seen a few of your reaction videos and enjoyed them. First time looking at your social media. Never knew you had such a beautiful, brilliant, artistic talent... Do you do consignment work? From pictures, and/or even fantasy work to place the subject into a "super hero", "movie roll" type of character?

    A movie which I can advise to watch from the earlier carreer of Tom Cruise, is the 1993 film The Firm by Sydney Pollack based on a thriller book by John Grisham. Tom Cruise also playes a layer (in another kind of pickle)

    "Conduct Unbecoming" -- the charge of which Dawson & Downey were found guilty is the title of a British Military courtroom drama. Based in India "at the time of the Raj', starring/featuring the brother-sister pair of Michael and Susannah York, Stacey Keach, Sir Richard Attenborough, Christopher Plummer, Trevor Howard. Rooted in fact.

    36:25 - I think Dawson knew it was "morally wrong", but he'd been slapped down before for interfering with a Code Red in the Curtis Bell incident, so he went through with the Code Red order this time.
    Edit: And also Dawson had been protecting Santiago from getting Code Reds. So that, plus interfering with the Curts Bell code red, showed that Dawson wasn't really down with Code Reds.

    I remember seeing this at the cinema when it came out. It's probably my favourite film from 1992 (along with White Sands), which is an accomplishment because there were some very iconic films released that year, including Reservoir Dogs, Scent Of A Woman, Unforgiven, and The Last Of The Mohicans.
