[@MarcoMM1]

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

[@BouillaBased]

One thing you missed was that Aaron Sorkin's sister, Deborah, was a JAG involved with the Alvarado case. So we have her to thank for the story. I'm surprised they missed the opportunity to include the words "based on a true story" in the opening credits.

The moment when Nicholsen said "You're goddam right I did!" Cruise looked legitimately surprised, like he really didn't expect it.

I have to highly recommend Denzel and Julia in The Pelican Brief, what a staggeringly good movie.

As a former Commander in the USAF and AFROTC instructor, ever since the Nuremberg trials where the Nazi's said they were just following orders. American servicemen are trained to know that you are required to DISobey an order that is illegal, immoral, or unethical. 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. All were culpable.

[@Ryan_Christopher]

But “Conduct Unbecoming” is only a UCMJ Article for Officers, not Enlisted. That’s Article 133. Article 92 is how they get Enlisted on an “everything else” charge. There’s no such thing as “Conduct Unbecoming a Marine,” or Soldier, or Airman, or Guardian, or Coastguardsman for that matter. They could have never charged the Corporal and the Private for Conduct Unbecoming.

Aaron Sorkin might be the best show writer of all time. Almost everything he touches is fantastic.

[@FeaturingRob]

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.

[@ravensdark99]

Funfact: Jack Nicholson was letter perfect since the first reading..he literally did a perfect take of his last speech by the first try and the director Rob Reiner merely did an other take where Nicholson repeated EXACTELY in the same way he did before...watch the interviews of the other cast member of this movie..there is a reason that guy is one of the best actors alive on the planet...

Actors have phases of their careers. This was when Tom Cruise was looking for gravitas, and it was when Nicholson could be on screen for three or four scenes in a movie filled with top level actors, but he electrifies the screen every moment he is on it. He’s always great, but in the 90s he was the best there ever was.

Great reaction Coby. I am not ashamed to say that while I love movies that make me laugh, I also love a movie that can make me cry. I don't cry because I am hurt or sad. I cry when something touches me, and gets to my feels. What I realized watching your reaction to the end of this movie was that what really hits me hardest, as it seemed to do to you, are scenes where one is shedding tears and wearing a broad grin at the same time. When a movie can elicit emotion to a point where we can't decide whether to laugh or cry, everyone involved with the film has done their job remarkably well. Your reactions show what kind of person you are, and that shines through. Clearly a case of beauty not being merely skin deep. Great job!! Stay safe, healthy and adorable.

They only dressed them up as Marines. 2 things are distinct for those that know. They perform several moves that the Marines do not, and their rifles are Springfields while the Marines use M1 Garands for drill. Why were they used? Because for decades that team of only 1st year students has won first place at National drill competitions.

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.

[@awilliams765]

Keep in mind that Abu Ghraib happened years after this movie. No one from the C.I.A. faced prosecution. And I believe, no officers faced emprisonment. It was the enlisted who took the hit.

The powerful do what they want.

We were required to remove our hats upon entering buildings and the interiors of ships. We never salute when not wearing a hat thus no saluting indoors. Marines and Sailors yell "Attention on deck!" Ten-hut is either an Army/Air Force thing or a made up Hollywood military movie type deal. Still I can overlook those little things when the cast, script, direction and acting is this good.

[@oscardiggs246]

I had to get some shock therapy at one point so I'd stop shouting at the screen everytime someone salutes indoors

“Tench-Hut!” is still in the Air Force books. “Ah-ten-shun!” is Army. I was Army ROTC before I was Air Force Active Duty. I think the Corporal was within his rights to salute indoors, seeing as the Lieutenant just got him acquitted of Murder and Conspiracy to Commit Murder.

Jack Nicholson did that take seven times for the different camera angles and supposedly nailed it each time. The biggest problem I have with this movie is that Marines don't salute indoors as they don't wear covers (hats) indoors.

[@markhamstra1083]

Yeah, there are a few details in this film that will annoy people with in depth or specialized knowledge. For example, my father was a doctor of internal medicine and served as such for a time in the U.S. military, so he always identified with Christopher Guest’s character, and he was always annoyed that the doctor’s testimony and the description in the film of normal metabolism and lactic acidosis are not completely accurate.

[@Kilgore_Trout_jr]

I’m retired army, we saluted indoors without cover when reporting, like to the CO. Marines don’t have to salute superior officers when reporting?

[@ace1usmc]

Yeah, I've always been a little off about that all these years myself. However, I get that for the purpose of the movie and the emotional impact of those moments, they hadda take a few creative, artistic licenses to make the moment. @Kilgore_Trout_jr - we do snap to attention when reporting to or receiving orders from an officer in formal or professional moments. 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.

Also, for any Navy/Marine death as part of a criminal investigation, an autopsy would be conducted by a fully qualified medical examiner/pathologist from NCIS (still called NIS in 1992), not the base doctor.

[@scottyballgame1]

Ya nailed the Marcuson one. Such a great reaction. Your laugh cry is matched by none. Watch Pullock on the Rich Eison show. Great behind the scene story’s. Cheers 🍻

I was 14 years old and this was the movie from which I learned there was acting and there was ACTING. Up until then I thought an actor is an actor and does his job and there are no levels. After all, how would you measure if someone did better than the other? And then I saw this and it became clear to me that Jack Nicholson is special.

Most people don't know that the UCMJ requires all military personnel to follow LAWFUL orders. It is our duty to deny and report any unlawful orders.

[@rickpearlstein6421]

Loved your reaction to one of my all time favorites. I'm a huge Aaron Sorkin fan so I was particularly impressed you recognized him. 👍😎🖖

[@albertliu1068]

Coby, i watched this when it first came out & a bit here & there over the yrs when it came on TV but never managed to sit through the whole film to put the whole plot together. Watched it with u today, i have finally got it. Thank you!

[@thuscomeguerriero]

This is one The Best reaction videos I've ever seen!!! Instant classic

[@criminalcontent]

Wow, thank you!

[@andrewkubat1506]

Love your reactions. They are so honest, intelligent and thoughtful. Thank you.

[@Tdub0911]

Oh man, as excited as you get over some things I was waiting and waiting for the final scene with Jack. Thought maybe you'd jump through the roof.

[@darthfatass42069]

You can't handle Coby's reaction!😮

[@orangeandblackattack]

Feel free to ask questions about the courtroom and procedures..I have the UCMJ next to me. lol

[@DBZ-Mousa]

I fell in love with movie reactions at the start of the pandemic (the only good thing that came out of it, really) and this one here hits all the marks! Beautiful reaction! I love all the subtle expressions and the little cheeky laughs!

[@justaguy1109]

Gotta be honest. There was one thing that attracted me to watch this video... A FEW GOOD MEN IS A GREAT MOVIE! 😊

[@Padre.K1880]

CC your reactions as always are amazing. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@Chystyle]

@26:16 The movie both the Pvt was in with Cuba Godding Jr was Gladiator 1992. Both movies were released in the same year.

[@SwerveDaddy1115]

Awesome movie. One of the best ever! Awesome acting. Nicholson is an all time great actor and that monologue is AMAZING every time you see it. You’re absolutely beautiful!!!

[@cheekythirtysix]

Hey Coby, new to your channel here in the UK and happy to watch movies with you. Such an underrated movie with stellar performances from all. Anyone who says Cruise can't act needs to spend a couple of hours watching this one... captivating and emotional, this movie really hits you in "the feels". Great reaction, I can see you loved it too! Looking forward to watching a few more movies with you kiddo! Take it easy

[@criminalcontent]

Thank you !!

[@realBkay]

Aaron Sorkin‘s greatest/best work was on a weekly television show entitled SPORTS NIGHT. Loosely based on ESPN’s SportsCenter. It only ran for two years, but it was a very good two years.

[@andrewgrossman4982]

Oh, man. I can't wait to watch Coby's reaction. Something tells me she's absolutely going to love this.

[@criminalcontent]

You betcha

[@johnlenon8872]

Coby I really enjoy watching these movies....that in some cases I've seen multiple times...with you. Your reactions and interest make us realize just how great this movie was. You got a good gig going on here. Keep it up.

[@criminalcontent]

Many thanks !

[@josephalbanese]

Just found your channel, you have a new sub. Great reaction. Smart, knowledgeable, great laugh and a 100 megawatt smile. Going to check out some of your other reactions now.

[@criminalcontent]

Welcome aboard!

[@wesleygary6651]

Kevin Pollack on the Rich Eisen show (formally an anchor on ESPN) has a talent for getting big screen co-stars on his show and sharing their Hollywood stories. When he describes the story behind this film he had the entire crew falling out of their chairs. Me as well. Comedian, actor, above all a hell of a storyteller. He does the roasts too--William Shatner comes to mind as well as many others.

[@wrldchamps04]

I loved your enthusiasm for one of my all time favorite movies...quite a cast they had.

[@4Kandlez]

Wonderful reaction Coby, you're a star. Jack Nicholson being his usual awesome self in this film even though he had such little screen time, that was an acting master class.

[@mostaley5049]

Another great reaction Coby. As a Marine I’ve always loved this film. No code reds when I served. You would get in mad trouble for hazing. 😊👏 Semper Fi

[@billallen1307]

Some movies you wish you could see for the first time just one more time. The second best is getting to watch someone else see it for the first time.

[@tddonahue4244]

Wonderful reaction, it's always fun watching someone else watch a film for the first time and gives the same pumped up feelings you had watching it. Your smile is Your reaction gift. 😊

[@criminalcontent]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philowens7680]

Loved your reaction. Thank you!

[@criminalcontent]

Thanks for watching!

[@phila3884]

I just noticed the exchange in Coby's opening sequence- Caffee is hammering Jessup with, "Did you doctor the logbook?!!" while Kevin Bacon shouts, "Damn it, Caffee!!" and the judge simultaneously shouts, "Consider yourself in contempt!" Pure movie gold.

[@jamesstone2107]

Coby thank you. I have been really ill and if I am having a bad day I turn on my phone and watch your movie reactions and it makes me feel good.

[@jimgore1278]

Your excitement at "You can't handle the truth" ... best reaction ever.

[@evilzzzability]

Not just one of the best scripts ever. The film is also one of the most beautifully shot, too. It still looks like it could have been made yesterday with it's timeless wardrobe, camera work and colour palettes.

[@te1013]

Holy fuck! Maybe I haven’t seen him much, or maybe he looks different in 1992 than now, but I never clocked the Sorkin cameo 😂

[@ThistleAndSea]

Nice one, Coby! This is such a good movie. Thanks for sharing it.

[@BingleMcPingle]

Some of the best reactions on this platform.

[@Mario-it3po]

These were the awesome movies and great actors we got to see in the eighties and nineties and the early 2000's, as well, in the theaters with surround sound!!! Great reaction!!!

[@jaredc304]

Absolute top-tier movie. I just saw it for the first time recently and it was great from start to finish. So much acting talent in this movie, and the dialogue and performances were flawless.

[@paulharris6335]

Loved the reaction Coby, you’ve got to give A Time To Kill a reaction if you’ve not seen it, court room based again but very different and an epic all star cast . Keep up the good work, from Saltcoats in Scotland!

[@mikeaninger7388]

“Because they stand on a wall, and they say nothing’s gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch.” 🫡🥲 God Bless my brothers and sister still serving.

[@dougearnest7590]

God bless them all -- EXCEPT for the self-serving bureaucrats in uniform like the one pictured here, who would perjure himself and watch a subordinate go to prison or to his death because he lacks the honor to take responsibility for his own decisions and actions. Given the number of those types I've known, that should make God's job a lot easier.

[@pooki903]

fuck the military.

[@noirjacques3274]

I’m glad you included my favourite part; the moment after he enters a Not Guilty plea, then asks “why does a lieutenant (junior grade)….” and his daunted facial expression.

[@giancarlog8653]

I really enjoyed your reaction to this one. You were really perceptive and genuine in it.
