This story was actually inspired by the real "Code Red" of Marine Pfc. William Alvarado. Alvarado was hospitalized and survived the attack, but ten Marines were arrested and charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Seven accepted plea deals and were discharged. The other three elected to stand trial, arguing that they were following the orders of a commanding officer. After a four day trial, the three were cleared of charges and returned to duty. And a Fun-fact as a testament to how great Jack Nicholson is as an actor, the entire last scene in the courtroom was all done in one take. Not only that, but Jack Nicholson was doing his part there long before the camera started rolling. The other actors were thinkin, "Shouldn't you save your best chops for the take?" Jack Nicholson replied something like, "Nah, I live for this." Because he could go 100% at any given moment. Everyone on the studio lot stopped by to see Jack Nicolson performance in the court room scene. It was director Rob Reiner, who, the story goes, questioned Nicholson on whether he really wanted to go 'full blast' on all the rehearsals. Nicholson's reply was something close to, "Lemme tell you something. I'm an actor. And I love to act. The essence of it, wasn't so much, I live for this, but more like, Opportunities to play a character like THIS saying stuff like THIS really don't come around very often. So, when it does come up, man I wanna enjoy it to the full." I always take from that story that even celebrity actors like Nicholson, are completely dependent on writers and others to create the characters and good scripts in the first place, otherwise, they'd have no character to play. And Nicholson was acknowledging that, with his comment. And btw you are the first reactor to seeing that Aaron Sorkin had a cameo congrats on that Coby. Thanks for the reaction

This is still the case today under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (which is more strict than civilian laws. we have laws about behavior called "unbecoming, etc) The code red was an illegal order no matter who gave it or who followed it.

Coby is so much fun to watch movies with. My favorite spot was at 48:30 or so, where Coby realizes almost instantly what the airmen are sitting in the courtroom for. It is difficult watching her cry, though, she's such a sweet person. This is really a great movie. Even though Rob Reiner and I would probably disagree on 95% of stuff, we agree on this. You know deep down what is right and wrong, and your first responsibility is to your conscience. The most egregious example of the need for this is the Germany of the 1930s and 40s. When standard procedure changes from taking an oath to defend Germany to taking an oath to one man, you say "Sorry, I'm not doing that.", or when you are ordered to pull civilians of a particular type from their homes and send them to camps, you say "Sorry, these aren't military personnel, and this isn't a military operation, I'm not doing this." People ordering you to do things like this are not looking after your interests or the interests of your nation, they are looking out for themselves. This is why it is of the utmost value to have the Constitution, to help everyone understand what constitutes acceptable behavior by both government and citizen, and why it is difficult to become a citizen here. It should be difficult, because citizens of the USA have a responsibility to help preserve the Republic for succeeding generations.

This was the calling card that made Aaron Sorkin and started his career as both a playwright and a screenwriter. The story was inspired by a real case, which was assigned to Sorkin's sister, a JAG lawyer. She told him the basic premise of the case, and Sorkin's imagination took it from there. Sorkin changed quite a bit of it, but the basic premise held. At the time, Sorkin worked in Broadway theaters as a bartender, wrote on scraps of paper and napkins when ideas came and continued to write after work. Somehow, a copy of the coverage and the play as it was ended up on the desk of producer David Brown, who co-produced the classic blockbuster Jaws (great mug you are drinking from BTW! 😁). Brown wanted to turn it into a film immediately. Sorkin wanted it to be a play on Broadway FIRST. Brown, wanting the property, produced it on Broadway in 1989 with a cast that included Academy Award-nominee Tom Hulce (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Amadeus) as Lt. Kaffee, Stephen Lang (Col. Quaritch in the James Cameron Avatar films) as Col. Jessup, and Clark Gregg (SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson in the MCU) as Lt. Jack Ross. Also in the cast were future The West Wing stars Bradley Whitford (as an understudy for Kaffee) and Joshua Malina (who has appeared in some way in almost every Aaron Sorkin filmed project and plays Jessup's company clerk, Tom, in the film). 19:40 - GOOD EYES!!! Yep, that's Sorkin...he does it again in The American President which he wrote and was also directed by Reiner. There were quite a few changes made to the film script, thanks to some script doctoring by William Goldman (the novelist and screenwriter of Reiner's The Princess Bride), that Sorkin actually loved, and I think made him slightly alter the play's script to include. This was Sorkin's first screenplay before his Oscar for The Social Network or his many Emmys for Sports Night and The West Wing. His writing is like music, and actors must learn their dialogue letter-perfect. No one is allowed to deviate from the way the dialogue is written. No improvisation, dramatic pausing, "ums, " " ahs, " or any other idiosyncracies actors can put into a performance. It's like Shakespeare. The casting of Harold Dawson was a problem. Rob Reiner couldn't find anyone to play the role. No one was right. What ended up happening was that Reiner asked his Location Manager for Castle Rock, Wolfgang Bodison, if he had done any acting. Bodison, who had worked his way up at Castle Rock from the mailroom, said he had, but he was not trying to be an actor. But, he learned the sides and did a screen test for his boss, Reiner. He ended up getting cast and knocking the role out of the park! Dawson is one of my favorite characters in the film because of Bodison's performance. Commander Stone, the doctor, was played by a frequent collaborator and friend of Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest. The two wrote This Is Spinal Tap together, Reiner appearing in the film as well as directing it, and Guest playing Spinal Tap's lead guitarist, Nigel Tuftnel (It goes to 11). After that, Guest was also Count Rugen, the Six-Fingered Man in The Princess Bride, and became the writer, director, producer, and star of several mockumentaries like Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show, and A Mighty Wind. Guest is also something that few people can claim to be...a tired noble of the British peerage. His full name is Christopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron of Haden-Guest. Oh...and he's also married, since the mid-1980s, to scream queen (Halloween) turned Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything, Everywhere, All At Once). John M. Jackson played the captain that Demi Moore's Jo Galloway tries to persuade to let her take the case. Ironically, a few years after this film, Jackson got a huge promotion, being cast as Rear Admiral A.J. Chegwidden, Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy, on the hit TV series JAG, which was also the launching pad for the incredibly popular NCIS franchise.

However, for the most part, we don't do that during regular day-to-day interactions with our own officers within our direct chain of command while indoors. The only exceptions being while we are bearing arms indoors as security forces, or if wearing a duty belt. Both of those instances would require that we keep our cover on indoors. Additionally, when we are deployed on a MEU, we never salute an officer, no matter what.

Coby, what a wonderful video, with your intensely emotional responses, which opened my eyes to a cinema classic! I had never seen this film, and had no plans to see it, but I trusted your judgment enough to give it a shot to watch this. Thanks for turning me on to a really great movie! Your videos are a film appreciation course for me. I really love the way that you express your emotional responses to these films that you respond to. It's very humanizing, and very real. I find it very uplifting that you're able to do this!

One of my all-time faves. It came out when I was in high school and I saw it in the theatre twice. A courtroom drama! I was into motorcycles and heavy metal at the time! The writing, the acting and the pace of the movie was just top notch.

The movie kept a Blooper in the final cut. Tom Cruise imitating Jack Nicholson and the others reacting to it. It was a spur of the moment thought for Cruise and they were not expecting him to do it. It worked wonderfully in the movie.

3:43 For those who may not recognize him the man playing the Capt behind the deck is John M Jackson, the same man who played 2 star Admiral Chegwidden in the TV series JAG in the 90's and 2000's, he also reprised that same character in an appearance in the more famous spin off series NCIS as well as several in NCIS: Los Angeles.

One of the rare times (late in his career) that Nicholson played an _actual character_ instead of just a version of his most famous type-cast...and it was glorious. Samuel L Jackson, Christopher Walken, and Denzel Washington might try it sometime.

Some of the lines spoken by the Colonel are not spoken by Jack Nicholson, but by Kevin Pollack, who played Weinberg and is a comedian who does impressions. They wanted to add lines after Nicholson had left the set, and he gave permission for Pollack to impersonate him.

"They are not going to fly commercial..." There's not flying 'commercial' out of GITMO. I flew out of GITMO August 3rd 1995 as a refugee coming to the US. The Boeing 707 made a sharp turn almost immediately because Cuba doesn't allow fly over for planes out of GITMO. Every flight in and out is remarkable.

Notice the way Demi's body is filmed, she was 7 months pregnant. To me Tom's best roles are OLiver Stone's "Born on the 4th of JUly" and Paul Thomas Andreson's "Magnolia". Then there are the other 2 movies where he holds his own with the legends, "The Colour of Money" with Paul Newman and "Rain Man" with Dustin Hoffman, both made when he was still starting, impressive.

Hi! My first time on your channel. Awesome reaction! The stage play is very comparable to this. There are hardly any differences. I got the opportunity to play Capt. Ross, the prosecutor. Rehearsing the courtroom scenes was so much fun. It was hard but we put in the work. We had a great cast and I'm very proud of that production.

There’s a great story that I’ve heard told by a couple of different people in the movie. That Jack because they had to do different camera shots did that entire speech identically for each person even though he wasn’t being filmed, he fully did it. When he was asked why he did it he said I love to act and this is some great stuff I get to do.

One Marine's observation: any movie will take liberties with things for the sake of story, So when Dawson says 'Unit, Corps, God, Country', that was for story's sake to show their fanaticism. The actual Marine Corps motto is Semper Fidelis (Semper Fi), which means always faithful. But the second most used motto is God, Country, Corps. I've never seen or heard of any unit adding to it or changing that order for their own unit 'code'.

Along with all the other BS in the movie. There is no way an air force NCO would alter a control tower log book for a Marine Col. Also counter intel MOS's aren't trained to be able to just disappear. Etc etc etc.

The movie points out that the Marines at Gitmo are a very unusual bunch and that Jessup has been given a lot of leeway to run his unit as he sees fit. Basically he's the head of a cult of personality which is why there is so little regard for ignoring his illegal orders.

During my time in the military I sat through quite a few classes on things you can't do. Number one is always that you are not allowed to follow an unlawful order. Of course the problem with that is that if you get it wrong; you will spend most of your life in Leavenworth KS or worse.
