Probably best line in any movie that decade

And it turns out, he could handle the truth.

Yes I was as stiff as a broom handle watching this video.

Spot on. I need him as a villain again like Collateral

Only Tom Cruise could drive Jack Nicholson CRAZY!!❤😂❤😂❤😂

They should do another movie set in the present with this cast again. Just need the right story and script. Would love to see Cruise and Pollack and Bacon work together again

@@tylerbarclay629 Do you agree that Tom Cruise is more famous than Tobin Bell?

@@Julia25120 lol yeah I’d say so

Colonel was a fanatical crazy little bast...rd that was impossible to think about

That wouldn’t happen like that because his anger took over him

They actually talked about this in a movie.

To be fair, Jessup did it to himself. He opened his big mouth and admitted the one thing that proved his guilt beyond the shadow of a doubt.

@@sodasaintcommentaries4054 That's literally what randy was describing, yes.

That's a good thing though, I think people would mistakenly think that's a bad thing from your post, although you may not have intended it that way

​@sodasaintcommentaries4054 But what made the scene such a great character study is that EVERYONE knows that admitting he ordered the code red would sink Jessup...... EXCEPT JESSUP. After the fact, he can't believe he's being charged with a crime. He gave an order, and that's the end of it. Everything else, the cover-up, the trial is all BS to him. Kaffee cottoned onto this and was able to put Jessup in a place where he just wants to say and do what he wants, by ordering him to sit down, by treating him with no redirect, by making him feel stupid by repeating previous testimony, like a child. By then, Jessup's had enough of the crap. He just wants to say what happened and go back to being the boss. Brilliant.

Do you agree that Tom Cruise is more famous than Tobin Bell?

If some ahole tries to remake this IM GONNA ORDER A CODE RED!

He also would have gotten away with murder

"the 'witness' is EXCUSED!!!" whoa, BURRRN!

What is the difference. Either way I doubt the director would allow it. It is like when they say they do their own stunts yet there are three hundred stuntmen in the end credits!!

Is there a difference?

Huh? Thats like saying “he wasn’t eating the food.. he was consuming the food”😂😂

What’s the difference?

Kevin Pollak said, that Jack told this You can't hadle the truth monologue exactly the same perfect way on every take they did. Never missed a syllable.

Ya, exactly what Tom Cruise said in the movie.

You no truth handler youa

Dist thou engage in the ordering of the maneuver within the camp known as "Code Crimson?!" Wast thine order not "Code Crimson?!"

It's there, look to the right of the shirt button, there's 2 more layers of khaki next to the jacket lapel.

Pretty sure it's Sorkin trying to insinuate anti-Semitic motives where he can find a way to sneak it in. The more normal reaction would be to say it to Galloway, the lawyer most hostile to Jessup and blatantly the least capable combatant in the room, having not yet trained for GI Jane.

@@Gunleaver You are over reaching. No offence.

@@Gunleaver I agree with that. Plus I have read it was Sorkin.

@@mcbean1234 Then why did you alter your comment to include the antisemitism?

In other words, he has at least one redeeming quality.

And Kiefer Sutherland

Doesn't change anything. That was a different tack by the defense, that Santiago's death was an accident. Jessup's confession proves nothing one way or another in that regard, it only changes the responsibility for the assault. If Jessup ordered the Code Red, maybe his orders led to the rag being poisoned, or the use of an accidentally poisoned rag.

That was actually addressed. At the end of that scene Sam tells Jo "Don't worry about the doctor, his trial starts Monday."

@@Gunleaver You're wrong.

@@TK-593 Missed that. Thanks.

@@francus7227 Just because he's going to trial doesn't mean he doesn't have a good defense or that his diagnosis was maliciously wrong.

Not as much as being convicted of murder would have done.

Absolute B.S. There's plenty of avenues in life that could care less. Most of them.... you could just never tell them you enlisted and it would be as if you hadn't.

Now they can actually live productive lives

@@jdorffer That's what I said. UKposts blocking, again.

agreed, Its on one's DD-214's if they have served. Try getting a job, home mortgage, or getting accepted in school or a professional academic program. That will affect them.,

I seen the film "Hoffa".... Nicholson was good in it especially the congressional scene between him and Bobby Kennedy......👍

Uhhh okay sounds good buddy

What separates us from them is the fact that we won't stoop to their level.

No, that's not even remotely true. Jessup, while he was seeking to maintain operational excellence, ordered a hazing that resulted in a man being murdered. This was done on his orders. And then he had the audacity to try to hide it. He knowingly falsified official documents statements, knowingly committed perjury, and basically left the two men he ordered to commit the hazing hanging out to dry for murder. All of which are very serious crimes. Just because he defends the nation doesn't give him a pass to do whatever the heck he wants; by that logic, Ahab had the right to murder Naboth over a vineyard when Naboth refused to sell it to him. The correct way to handle this was to get Santiago to wash out or have him transferred where he wouldn't be a risk to himself and others, not ordering him to be put in critical condition. The only one who weakened the US that day was Jessup, not the attorney daring to tell him the truth to his face. This is Jessup projecting, not putting the attorney in his place. A guilty conscience tends to do that.

Agreed. Whilst this is a film and the circumstances made up, the threats that face a nation are often unseen and unreported but still require unpalatable actions to negate them. I’m grateful to those in the military and security services who do this dirty work knowing that they will be hung out to dry by the very people they are protecting.

@@pedrorenard8439 The irony of what you said is FAR too obvious to let slide. Who left who out to dry again? 😅

Slap on the wrist and he’s back commanding while the lower enlisted are screwed over Don’t know what they are so F***ing happy bout

No he's not.

In the Things He Said He was right, with the circumstances.... "Son WE living in a world with walls which are protected by man's with guns..."

@@Hmzmslm He ordered a soldier to be tortured by his comrades, ignoring the direct orders of his supperiors. No, he was not right.

@@CrniWuk yes in this Point He was wrong. I mean what He Said in the court was allmost right except that He ordered He Code Red

It is also a bad idea to bet your case on Colonel Jackoff having a meltdown and rant.

Well YEAH, it's dramatized. The point is that Jessup thought his position gave him the right to have a man murdered; it doesn't.

The key is that it was an unlawful order. If given such an order, they should have refused and called the Inspector General office. Such a thing puts young service members in a very poor position. Either way, their careers would be over.

@@user-xc6jz6oz5g One thing they stressed in Boot camp was no one has ever been prosecuted for following orders. But then again this movie is just fiction.

Fiction from the mind of an uber Liberal Fairy by the name of Rob Reiner.

@@edmundp123 try not to shoot up a school, loser

They followed an unlawful order. They had the moral and ethical obligation to refuse. "I was following orders" is never an excuse. They essentially beat a man to death on Jessup's orders, when they should have refused to begin with.

Not unrealistic at all. The Marines did this to my son. And I have learned of many more.

@@wbduckman Don't mean Code Red i mean a guy admitting that in court

@@rankoorovic7904he got caught up in the heat of the moment 😮 these trials can get emotional and it’s just movie.

This is a military court martial not a civil court. Whether it may happen or not is not the issue. This is hollywood after all.

True, it didn't, but this is how a liberal jackass named Rob Reiner thinks the UCMJ works, so..

You could make this comment on every single court drama video ever, but I'd take it as a kindness if you didn't.

Relax, it's a story a fairy tale. Not to be confused with real life.

@@RogueDragon05 Any one where the lawyer stands up in the well to deliver or examine, so yeah basically every one.
