@Paul Hartley did you watch the whole movie? he cracked because he was so arrogant that he couldn't stand not saying it.. he "did his job and would do it again", and so deeply resents having to explain himself to a pretty-boy lawyer (or anyone really) that remaining silent felt weak to him. He wants to assert dominance in every situation, so it got the best of him here.

As great as Nicholson's acting is, Tom Cruise deserves just as much praise. Simply electrifying performance and very underrated because the focus is always on Jack. This is one of the greatest scenes in movie history and Cruise is phenomenal. Similar to how Nicholson got all the praise from Batman yet Keaton was amazing.

@Kaioken 99 you still seem to be misunderstanding. I'm talking about the historical fact that Nicolson's performance was generally/universally praised compared to Keaton, exactly like Nicolson/Cruise. This is not a discussion about our personal opinion here. Obviously and it is more than implied, I think there was injustice to Keaton just like I think there was injustice to Cruise, and I think both actors (Keaton and Cruise) did tremendous jobs. That's the whole point and the reason for the analogy.

Love this scene. The power of the way it's delivered by Nicholson. The truth in the words he spoke. The prevailing truth as well though, in his arrest at the end. His character, like many real characters, doesn't understand the power of his position. He's trapped in the importance of what he does, so much, that he begins to believe, it's all that matters. Above all else. The genius of the writing in the scene is perfectly cemented by his feigned shock that he's being charged with a crime. Even though he knows he committed one. He truly believes it should be overlooked in the interests of his goal. Will always be a masterpiece of filmmaking.

Well, he's kinda right about what he does. There is no world where everybody's happy, so military has to defend their interests selfishly. Except he should've transferred the guy before the accident, I'm sure someone more motivated would apply for marine position. Instead he tried to make marine out of non-marine material. Such kind of psychological training and pressure should be applied for soldiers who happened to be at army involuntarily to bring them up to speed about how things on war actually are, but not for the supposed motivated professionals, where best of the best are selected during peace time.

That's not feigned shock - that's real, which makes his indignation all the more powerful. He knows what he did was against the "rules" but he believes he's above those rules and/or they don't apply to him, and how dare the mere mortals in the justice system charge him, the almighty, with a crime.

I love the colonel acting, it shows how people who spent their life in the army can have a vastly different logical thinking. He is 100% convinced that what he did was right and has no shame of admitting it. Edit: I understand that marines are different than the army in the US, but I was making a broader point where pretty much all soldiers have an experience which gives them another prospective and a different logical thinking than someone who never had to participate in conflict.

During WW2 in actual combat, an officer could sometimes justify killing one of his men for disobeying a battlefield order or giving their position away via being hysterical etc. But it is another circumstance guarding some border or fence.

He was shameless. "... and when it went wrong, you cut these guys loose!" And then he instituted a cover up: fixed the flight logs, drafted transfer orders and got Kiefer to lie on the witness stand. I think that's why Rob Reiner made a point of showing Nicholson snap his jacket back in place and focusing on picking up the hat: he'd committed actions unbefitting of the uniform

Dude what are you talking about? That’s narcissistic justification. It’s not logical at all. This is perhaps PTSD and the character Jack Nicholson played is what someone who’d behave for he snapped at some point. That’s what war does but it doesn’t make it right.

This is a great scene. Watched many times. I also recall the dialogue near the ending between the two marines being charged has summed up the theme of the movie rather nicely too. The dialogue infers one's strength (in this case soldiering strength) is meant to serve and protect those who haven't had that (level of) strength, not to bully them.

Can we take a moment to bask in the glory that is Aaron Sorkin's brilliant screenplay and screenwriting? "A Few Good Men" was written as a play by Sorkin when he was just 26 years old, almost fresh out of Syracuse University's fine Drama and Film School. His sister was a Navy JAG and had told him a story about a young Marine recruit who was murdered during a hazing incident at Gitmo in the early 80's. Sorkin's innate ability to put into words rapid fire conversation about people who had to think quickly on their feet in life-altering dramatic situations would serve him well not only in "A Few Good Men" but also when invited by Steven Spielberg to "punch up and polish" Schindler's List" in 1993 and later in the multi-Emmy award winning tv show, "The West Wing".

This is possibly one of the most well-acted scenes in cinema, particularly by Nicholsen, yet I still have problems wrapping my brain around why it would have happened that way. I know ego is the basis for Cruise's character pushing the witness, but it doesn't really make sense that a commanding marine with as much battle hardened experience as he has would openly crack like that as if he wasn't aware of the consequences after fabricating a transfer order and doctoring the log books.

I think Cruise tricked him into thinking he had the airmen ready to testify, when he didn't. Which would have meant the Colonel was kind of pinned anyway, and didn't have that much to lose. At least that is one explanation I read, related to your question, which we've all wondered about I guess.

Watched this move in the theater with a friend from high school when it was released. IMHO one of Nicholson's and Cruise's most fantastic film acting accomplishments ever.

I've watched this scene countless times and usually watch it when it comes up on my feed. This is some of the best acting by all thses actors especially Cruise and Nicholson. This is a perfect end to this great movie.

Jack Nicholson had played phenomenal. The script is awesome. Acting is legendary. One of the best and most sophisticated portrayals of an antagonist character. In fact, most of what the colonel said is true and he prosecuted himself already. He says: "We follow orders or people die. It's just that simple." That's exactly what happened: The colonel didn't follow his superior commander admiral's explicit written order forbidding the code red. As a result of his disobedience, people (Santiago and Markinson) died. In fact, he found himself guilty, and that might be the reason he confessed.

If I remember right the 'airman witnesses' were a bluff. They were there to testify they can recall no flight happening outside of the official logbook :) But the Colonel didn't know that.

The casting in this film is world class. Look at the faces of the actors in this clip alone and imagine others in their place. You can not.

@god0fgames100 I agree. You could have a wet mop, and would still get the same thing Demi Moore offers.

Of course I can imagine another actor in these roles...it's because I don't limit it by making the mistake of allowing myself to morph into a super fan.... You should try it sometime....
