This is one of the most intense scenes in motion picture history. Cruise's character knew that if he kept needling Nicholson, his colossal ego would fly into a rage and cause him to drop his guard.

    • If he didn't show a second's regret he would be a robot, as much an unfeeling machine as everyone likes to paint the Nicholson character. Bacon's performance and the writing of his part are good precisely because he DOES have that moment's regret. He just is able to put that aside and do his duty--as Nicholson cannot do, because he and his job are too closely grafted together.

    • Yeah but these were 1 camera shots, meaning the opposing actor wasn't even in the room at the time. These guys acted this scene out with all this emotion and were probably looking at an empty chair or maybe a stand-in. They were NOT yelling at each other

    • @Sharky & George it really isn't about who is superior of the two, as this scene really is for Jack's character. Having said that, you do need an equally supportive dialogue/ performance from a co-actor (Cruise) to trigger the emotional weight of Jack's lines. Without the other man's performance, both of their lines won't stand.

  • How many times in 30 years have I watched this? Never gets old, never loses its power. Can’t see through the performances, now matter how closely I zero in. Nicholson’s slow rise from calm and cool to simmer, and finally to explosion is magnificent. This is the greatest courtroom climax ever. In 1992, while I certainly supported the acting Oscar (though I felt they fell one supporting statue short), I did not think this deserved a Best Picture nomination. I’ve since changed my mind.

    • Well I’m glad you understand that Jessup was a hypocritical blowhard who didn’t practice what he preached. He tried to proclaim he was protecting the United States from its enemies but who exactly were we fighting at that time? We weren’t at war with Cuba, and they hadn’t been a threat for a long time. Then he scapegoats two loyal marines just because his scheme backfired rather than taking responsibility like a real man would’ve.

  • Love this scene. The power of the way it's delivered by Nicholson. The truth in the words he spoke. The prevailing truth as well though, in his arrest at the end. His character, like many real characters, doesn't understand the power of his position. He's trapped in the importance of what he does, so much, that he begins to believe, it's all that matters. Above all else. The genius of the writing in the scene is perfectly cemented by his feigned shock that he's being charged with a crime. Even though he knows he committed one. He truly believes it should be overlooked in the interests of his goal. Will always be a masterpiece of filmmaking.

Except he should've transferred the guy before the accident, I'm sure someone more motivated would apply for marine position. Instead he tried to make marine out of non-marine material. Such kind of psychological training and pressure should be applied for soldiers who happened to be at army involuntarily to bring them up to speed about how things on war actually are, but not for the supposed motivated professionals, where best of the best are selected during peace time.
