Tom Cruise on working with Jack Nicholson on this movie: "When you see Jack on screen, you’re looking at him in a frame, and you’re thinking, why are my eyes drawn to that guy? Look at Chinatown - the guy is so alive on screen. He’s so charismatic. I mean, listen, it’s why some people are movie stars. Jack also understands, I think, the power he has. And he enjoys it.

But don't believe for a second this meeting did anything to dissuade Kaffe from wanting out. The only reason why this went to trial is because Dawson wasn't willing to plead.

@@Rockhound6165 Kaffe acted contrary to what some of his instincts were, because he knew instincts alone couldn't win the case. And it became such that the whole trial could only depend on Jessup's admission. If anything, Kaffe was stupid for listening to Jo, Sam, and Dawson, because it meant his whole career and life if they had it wrong. I wouldn't call that, an 'the easy way,' more so than it was smart. It was a huge risk to play otherwise - they were fortunate to win out.

People often refer to the "You can't handle the truth" scene when referencing this movie. While that scene is definitely iconic in cinema history, this scene is greatly underappreciated. It sets the tone for the entire movie.

So often overlooked, written by a very young Aaron Sorkin (the genius of dialogue, as recognized by the actors who spout his words), based on his 1989 play, and directed by Rob Reiner. The pedigree behind this movie is way more than the actors.

There's something about Colonels that seem to give the impression that they somehow carry a chip on their shoulders with the power they wield....in the movies at least. It's as if they're pissed at not yet being Generals, but smug and psychotically overbearing with each rank below themselves. Col. Kurtz, Col. Kilgore, Col. Jessup, Col. Slade in 'Scent Of A Woman'....even Cols. Hogan and Klink in a comedic way. I had a relative who was a retired Lt. Col., and he was a handful, though not mean or tyrannical, he was...let's say, a man of extreme appetites.

In the cupboard was a critical piece of evidence.

One of the few nice things that we can say about Hollyweird, is that they can tell the truth and we can all pretend that it's fiction and we are entertained rather than enlightened to take action.

This can apply to any situation that involves a group setting. I remember a girl brought her best friend to a job interview and asked the supervisor if her best friend could sit in for the interview. Surprisingly, the supervisor agreed. However when the supervisor asked the girl questions, he didn't look at the girl on how she answered the questions. He looked at her BEST FRIEND'S REACTION to the girl's answers. If the best friend frowned or looked at her funny, HE KNEW that the girl was lying about her qualifications and answers. Needless to say, she didn't get the job. Ironically he gave the job TO HER BEST FRIEND!
