More than four stars, slightly less than three stars

Four stars a little more, three stars a little less. Score: Three and a half stars This film is excellent because it can be regarded as a case in many industries, it can be regarded as a management case, it can be regarded as an analysis of psychiatric cases, it can also be regarded as a teaching demonstration of court debate, and it can also be regarded as a teaching demonstration. A socio-ethical film that properly shows so much in a short period of time is rarely seen in other films. Points deduction: One and a half stars for love-related plots are useless, some plots are procrastinating and redundant, and at least the first 20 minutes are too slow, so half a star is deducted. The switching of perspective is blunt and abrupt, and it is difficult to grasp what the author is trying to say. The story begins with Keith getting on the ship, and most of the perspective is also sent from him. The audience focuses on the fate and encounter of the captain and his companions - but just like As noted by other film critics, the protagonist is Captain Quig - but in the end it was Marek who made the decision to be the hero - it was the lawyer who turned the tide, and in the end he justly criticized everyone. Although the climax of the half part is one after another, there are also many inexplicable, deducting one star.

The Caine Mutiny quotes

  • Doctor Dickson: If I may speak, sir, I would like to protest the counsel's twisting of words. There's a big difference between real mental illness and minor mental disturbances.

    Barney Greenwald: Let me put it this way, doctor: could Captain Queeg have been disabled by the severe stain of command?

    Doctor Dickson: That's absurdly hypothetical.

    Barney Greenwald: Is it? Have you ever had any sea duty, doctor?

    Doctor Dickson: No.

    Barney Greenwald: Have you ever been at sea?

    Doctor Dickson: No.

    Barney Greenwald: How long have you been in the Navy?

    Doctor Dickson: Five months.

    Barney Greenwald: Have you ever had any dealings with ship's captains before this case?

    Doctor Dickson: No.

    Barney Greenwald: Then I suggest that you cannot set yourself up as an authority on the strain of command, and thus you may be completely wrong about Captain Queeg.

    [to the prosecutor]

    Barney Greenwald: Your witness.

  • Captain Queeg: [after bawling out Ensign Keith] Willie?

    Lt. Keith: Sir?

    Captain Queeg: You look worried. Oh, I know that a man's shirt is a petty detail, but big things are made up of details. Don't forget: for want of a nail a horseshoe was lost, then the whole battle. A captain's job is a lonely one. He's easily misunderstood. Forget that I bawled you out. It was for the good of morale of all concerned. Okay?

    Lt. Keith: [cheering up] Yes, sir.
