      Five star short of breath

      Wonderful! ! But it didn't make the audience feel angry to the point of giving five stars. In my opinion, I have the following points: 1. Screenwriter Alan Sorkin said in his screenwriting class that the two important factors of drama are clear and definite. Goals and insurmountable obstacles. The...

      Maybe everyone has such a dream, in the public eye, talk about it, at least I had a lot of such fantasies when I was a child. Of course, childhood dreams and reality are always different, but this kind of dream also brought me to love courtroom films, such as Rainmaker and so on. And here, in this...

      Alan Sorkin's lines are good, which is reflected in the fast rhythm transformation and high density between sentences, and not only the stacking of words, but also the idea of ​​​​can keep up, and can form conflicts between words, which is conducive to character building. As a debut film, the overall casting was very successful. This Kuaisui Liangtang on the screen is a bit unfamiliar. Thinking about it, this is actually the most suitable role for Liangtang. As soon as Sorkin came up, he first provided a theme: the fairness of the law, which will make the audience mistakenly think that this is an anti-corruption themed work. The level is limited), but Sorkin’s greatness lies in the formation of the inner contradiction of this theme through the shaping of the villain (it must be a powerful shaping, so please Nicholson): the conflict between individual justice and collective justice , and then naturally transition to the theme of the conflict between the utilitarian law and the universal law to form an eternal topic (the law of man VS the law of God).

    A Few Good Men quotes

    • Capt. Ross: Corporal Barnes, I hold here the Marine Outline for Recruit Training. You're familiar with this book?

      Cpl. Barnes: Yes, sir.

      Capt. Ross: Have you read it?

      Cpl. Barnes: Yes, sir.

      Capt. Ross: [hands him the book] Good. Would you turn to the chapter that deals with code reds, please?

      Cpl. Barnes: [confused] Sir?

      Capt. Ross: Just flip to the page of the book that discusses code reds.

      Cpl. Barnes: Well, well, you see, sir code red is a term that we use. I mean, just down at Gitmo. I don't know if it's actually...

      Capt. Ross: Ah, we're in luck then. Standard Operating Procedures, Rifle Security Company, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now, I assume we'll find the term code red and its definition in that book. Am I correct?

      Cpl. Barnes: No, sir.

      Capt. Ross: No? Corporal Barnes, I'm a Marine. Is there no book, no manual or pamphlet, no set of orders or regulations that lets me know that, as a Marine, one of my duties is to perform code reds?

      Cpl. Barnes: No, sir. No book, sir.

      Capt. Ross: No further questions.

      [as Ross walks back to his table Kaffee takes the book out of his hand]

      Kaffee: Corporal, would you turn to the page in this book that says where the mess hall is, please?

      Cpl. Barnes: Well, Lt. Kaffee, that's not in the book, sir.

      Kaffee: You mean to say in all your time at Gitmo, you've never had a meal?

      Cpl. Barnes: No, sir. Three squares a day, sir.

      Kaffee: I don't understand. How did you know where the mess hall was if it's not in this book?

      Cpl. Barnes: Well, I guess I just followed the crowd at chow time, sir.

      Kaffee: No more questions.

    • Kaffee: [getting Jack's attention while he's playing basketball] Jack? Jack! They were given an order.

      Kaffee: [to his friends] I'll be right back. I'll be right back.

      Galloway: How long have you known about the order?

      Capt. Ross: [walking away from the basketball court] I didn't. Who's this?

      Kaffee: She's Jo Galloway. She's Downey's attorney. She's very pleased to meet you.

      Capt. Ross: [talking privately] What exactly are you accusing me of, Commander?

      Galloway: How long have you known about the order?

      Kaffee: Jack didn't know about the order because if Jack did and he didn't tell us Jack knows he'd be violating about 14 articles of the Code of Ethics. As it is, Jack's got enough to worry about because, God forbid, our clients should decide to plead not guilty and testify for the record that they were given an order.

      Capt. Ross: Kendrick specifically told those men not to touch Santiago.

      Kaffee: That's right and then he went into Dawson and Downey's room and specifically ordered them to give Santiago a code red.

      Capt. Ross: That's not what Kendrick says.

      Kaffee: Kendrick's lying.

      Capt. Ross: You have proof?

      Kaffee: I have the defendants.

      Capt. Ross: And I have 23 Marines who aren't accused of murder and a Lieutenant with 4 letters of commendation.

      Kaffee: Why did Markinson go UA?

      Capt. Ross: You'll never know.

      Kaffee: You think I can't subpoena Markinson?

      Capt. Ross: You can try but you won't find him. You know what Markinson did for the first 17 of his 26 years in the Corps? Counterintelligence. Markinson's gone; there is no Markinson. Look, Danny, Jessup's star is on the rise. Division will give me a lot of room on this one to spare Jessup and the Corps any embarrassment.

      Kaffee: How much room?

      Capt. Ross: I'll knock it all down to involuntary manslaughter, two years they'll be home in six months.

      Galloway: No deal, we're going to court.

      Capt. Ross: No, you're not.

      Galloway: Why not?

      Capt. Ross: Because you'll lose and Danny knows it. And Danny also knows that if it does go to court then that means I'm going to have to go all the way. His clients are going to get charged with the whole truckload. Murder. Conspiracy. Conduct unbecoming. And even though he's got me by the balls out here Danny knows that in a court room he loses this case. You see, Danny's an awfully talented lawyer and he's not about to let his clients go to jail for life when he knows that they could be home in six months. That's the end of this negotiation. I'll see you tomorrow morning at the arraignment.
