A classic navy movie, but with so much more than two hours

Just like the introduction, it left a lot of inside information. The explanation in the movie is far from satisfying my doubts. As a legal practitioner, why does a lawyer accuse the writer like a sentence, instead of giving the opponent a full opportunity to defend, which is not in line with the spirit of the law. Why do lawyers drink, because they are emboldened or guilty for what they have done, and why officers are wary when they see lawyers. The biggest question is what is the purpose of the event being mentioned at the end of the movie as a naval teaching material. The film has a lot of foreshadowing, and 80% of the lines are meaningful, showing the overall situation and profound thinking of the directors and screenwriters back then. This is what domestic films need to learn. There are not as many old films as today. Gorgeous special effects, but the more you taste, the more mellow.

The Caine Mutiny quotes

  • [first lines]

    Admiral: And so today you are full-fledged ensigns. Three short months ago you assembled here from all parts of the nation, from all walks of life: field, factory, office and college campus. Each of you knew what the fighting was about, or you wouldn't have volunteered. Each of you knew that the American way of life must be defended by life itself. From here on your education must continue in the more demanding school of actual war. Wearing the gold stripe of ensign in the United States Navy, you go down to the sea to fight in the toughest conflict of all time. Your fellow Americans share my confidence that you will serve the navy and the country with honor and distinction. Good luck, and good hunting.
