"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" Is probably the best line in this movie.
Probably best line in any movie that decade
And it turns out, he could handle the truth.
Probably????? it is!!!!
One of the greatest movie scenes ever made. Jack Nicholson was the perfect actor to play Cl. Jessup!
No other actor alive could've played Jessup.
alternate ending:
- Colonel Jessep, did you order the code red?!
- No.
Credits roll....
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.
- Colonel Jessep, did you order the code red?!
- maybe
Credits roll.... Col. Nathan Jessep will return...
@@tommos1 his selfishness and anger took over him
I've always loved when he snaps his coat back down, symbolizing his return from a moment of being completely fkg unhinged. Kaffee got him. Nailed his azz right to the wall.
I really appreciate what Tom Cruise has done for the genres of action and sci-fi, BUT this is the kind of tom I wanna see again. The Tom that makes great dramatic characters building a great tension only through good dialogues
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
Nicholson kicked ass acted his way to an Oscar nomination in this scene.......👍
This is another movie that should not be remade. You can't get a better scene.
If some ahole tries to remake this IM GONNA ORDER A CODE RED!
Hard disagree. I for one think this scene would be vastly improved with some unfoldable CGI helmets and some uncanny valley CGI face replacement on 2 random characters.
@@Fbiguy Maybe we have the courtroom in zero gravity?
@@phild8095 I think also in order to make these incredible monologues less boring for the modern audience, we need to intesperse them with quips. "You can't handle the truth!"
"That's not what your wife said last night!"
Iconic just iconic
Yes I was as stiff as a broom handle watching this video.
"You're not going anywhere, Colonel!" 🤣🤣🤣
"the 'witness' is EXCUSED!!!" whoa, BURRRN!
"This witness will address this court as judge, or your honor. I believe I've earned it".😂😂😂😂😂😂
Semper 😘
This scene shows exactly what lawyers are good at. They set you up by asking questions knowing the answers you give will bury you later on.
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.
Bullshit
One of the best scenes ever in a movie, both actors were excellent.
Colonel Jessup grew tired of having to hide, he was dying to say he ordered the code red and that is that. He felt like he was untouchable. His arrogance came back to bite him.
Ya, exactly what Tom Cruise said in the movie.
The look on Harold's face when the judge said Dishonorable Discharge was PRICELESS 😟😧
It could've been worse.
One of the greatest courtroom drama scenes in Hollywood cinema. If only Colonel Jessup had stayed silent when the judge said “you don’t have to answer that question” after Tom Cruise’s character baited him into incriminating himself…but then, we’d all be deprived of one of the most riveting scenes by Jack Nicholson ever. 😉
He also would have gotten away with murder
The best 10 minutes of cinema history.
Do you agree that Tom Cruise is more famous than Tobin Bell?
Fun little tid bit, after the line "The witness is excused, Nicholson no longer has his tie on after having it the entire scene.. Kind of funny they would overlook that. Still one of the best movies of all time.
This is a classic timeless movie. I love it so much.
And folks came from all around...to see Jack deliver his lines in courtroom scene....they don,t do that for just anyone!
He'll need to change his name to Colonel Fessup after that outburst.
Pure Jack. Such an incredible movie
A great movie, one of my favorites! Sad thing is, there are real men like the Colonel serving in the military and civilian life😡
.This movie is a masterpiece that I always find something new in, no matter how many times I re-watch it. It never gets old because it delves into a deep side of human nature.
One of the Hollywood movie masterpiece! Both Nicholson and Cruise had their best performance. It was a battle taken place in a courtroom. Sparks were flying all over, without any arms and ammunition.💗
Best Scene in the Movie. Good Show.
Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson are both Legends!
Such a great movie with great moments throughout and Kaffe's "You're under arrest, you son of a bitch" was so satisfying. Great cast and so amazing to learn that Wolfgang Bodison (Harold Dawson) wasn't a trained actor before this film. No acting experience and yet Rob Reiner saw something in him before asking him to audition. Bodison's performance is one of the standout performances in the film. He really owns his character 100%.
such a good movie, also like this scene, got to see this movie again soon
One of best movie ever
Jack is like: “Wait till they get a load of me “
Whenever an opportunity to use this line in my daily life presents itself, I pounce at it with great pleasure. 😀
Rob Pulled Great Performances Out of All The Actors/Actresses in This Movie.. Truly One of My Favorites 👊💯💯
..And I Must Add.. Demi Moore... Absolutely Gorgeous.. Nuff Said 💘💘
Fun Fact: Shooting this scene Nicholson wanted everyone to stay on set while he did the take 3 times, each more emotional then the last....no break in between them either, just a pause, then back to yelling again. Solid actor.
Tom set him up nicely with those questions and ran him right into a confession
These three are amazing
Brilliant film, absolutely fantastic drama 🎉
Bah! I deride your truth-handling ability!!
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?!"
Tom Cruise!❤ One of Jersey's finest actors EVER!❤😂❤😂❤
That's SOB, Sir.
When Jessup turns away at 5:10, his necktie appears to be missing, or at least so disarranged that the knot is concealed by the collar. A couple of seconds before it was still in place.
It's there, look to the right of the shirt button, there's 2 more layers of khaki next to the jacket lapel.
If you never saw JN in 'Hoffa', you really should. He pretty much does this from start to stop in Hoffa. Fantastic acting.
I seen the film "Hoffa".... Nicholson was good in it especially the congressional scene between him and Bobby Kennedy......👍
What makes this scene unique is that apparently Jack was freestyling here and not improvising
Aaron Sorkin is by far an accomplished playwright!
To film that scene....wow i wonder after they did it..... did they clap or say AWESOME!!!!
Sad it how war is ...lose soldiers to win the battle any way they can
Edit cut a little short, but a wonderful, cinematic scene
You LT. Weinberg? Pretty sure he improvised that. How brilliant is that? The character isn’t just an arrogant, violent a-hole. He’s also an antisemitic.
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.
Fantastic movie! They don’t make them like they use to
Dishonorable discharge will ruin your life.
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. CZcams 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.,
Nicholson, Cruise, Moore, Bacon; throw these great artists into a pot, add a good script, you probably don't even need a good director. They'll create an amazing result.
And Kiefer Sutherland
Isnt Code Red just a Mountain Dew?
Its king of ironic Jessop continually going on about honour and loyalty, yet he and Kendrick were very much OK with letting Dawson and Downey take the fall for them.
So much for "loyalty", "honour" and "code". I will bet that Jessop never gave it a second thought
The "truth" will be told to the people through the media... we own the rights to the "truth" and the military.
Uhhh okay sounds good buddy
Love the way Jessup emphasizes “Save Life”.
Save life? What does he think he did? He killed/made kill a fellow soldier... if he wanted to get rid of him, why just not send him in battle in the first row and what has to happen, happens? Then he could have said "😭 The lad was an example of US finest men and defended his country whatever the price to pay. He will be remembered!". Defending one's country hardly means killing their own people, most of all if not in danger. And worst of all, he dragged these other two young soldiers. This is insane!
The *ONLY* thing that ever confused me about the ending is that Harold told Kaffee earlier that he was willing to accept the outcome regardless (very adamantly, mind you) but then seemed distraught at the outcome when it happened🤔🤔
I was hoping at 4.55 that J.Nicklson was going to open Mr Cruises jaw 😂
I’m sure his jaw is insured for millions lol
Bad ass!!!
I bet this movie, or this one scene, inspired a whole generation of lawyers in the 90's.
"you NEED me on that wall!"
"sir you guard a chainlink fence at gitmo and this is peacetime. lives aren't really at stake."
Jessup is a Vietnam vet, he genuinely does believe there is a threat from communist Cuba. However for Jessup it is less of a genuine concern for the wellbeing of US citizens and more of a justification for him to be unduly harsh & exploitative with his subordinates without facing consequences.
Neither TC or JN were nominated for Oscar. and TC had never won anything in Oscar.
Well well well.....
What does DOCTOR Stone, an internal medicine medical expert, think about his posion diagnosis now?
How about a malpractice suit and perjury charge?
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.
MPs guard the Colonel! Big dude shows up behind him
Way to go Mav.
I'm just thinking how f'ing cool it would've been to be on that jury!
Sad thing about the ending is the Two Marines so proud to be marines to be a marine you have to dedicate your life to it with honer,
“Dishonourable discharge that’s the World falling out of a marines arse”
Many failing foul of this charge, join the Legionaries in France 🇫🇷 were they can achieve once again honer & actually on retirement possibly get the finest retirement in the World
But let’s not loos sight this is a film (based on a real life event, I don’t know)
But a very moving film provoking much thought 👍
It's sad..that those Who Served Thier Superiors Suffer The Rwal Loss..
It is amazing in the scene how he used his own ego against the colonel by completely suckering him. Getting him to give that blanket statement about people follow orders, or they die, and then sandbag him with then why in the world with Santiago ever need to be transferred?
RIP Jack
“You Can't Handle the Truth!”
Firstly, there is no reason that jessup would say he ordered the code red. Even through questioning, he wouldnt admit it. Secondly, military law states that it is illegal to follow orders you know are illegal. These two marines would have been found guilty of murder whether or not is was ordered by jessup and/or he admitted to it. This movie makes no sense
Something I just realized about this scene is that Jessup actually killed THREE Marines! If JAG didn't do something to reduce their ruling to an "Other than Honorable Discharge, or a general discharge," Those boys won't be able to find jobs in the civilian world! People, most of you have no idea how harsh of a discharge that is! These two's odds of getting strung out on drugs and either dying from an overdose or in prison went through the roof!-NO ONE WILL HIRE THEM!
I disagree. If it was me, I just would not include that information on my CV. No one will check, not even sure how you'd check. After you've worked a couple years in a job and done good work, no one will even care if you were dishonorable discharged.
Nicholson performance was by superior to Gene Hackman and should have won for best supporting actor.
Jessup acts like he's ACTUALLY running a country.😂😂😂😂😂😂. Could have sparred himself the humiliation, had he admitted it, when Santiago died.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why do movies suck so bad these days?
Ever heard of a honorable discharge colonel?
Can someone please explain to me what Dawson and Downey were supposed to do in order to "fight for Willie"? Should've they refused to follow orders and face insubordination? Or worse punishment than Santiago?
wow, what a difference between what it meant to defend the nation then and what it is now.
Consuminatra like mugging
The best part of this is that Jessup is truly defending his actions giving his rant, and Kaffee gives no fucks. Bro, you got a man killed, fuck outta here about your code.
Shots no how many
Algebra
Goat!
Court martial,do you know what it is?.🤔
Today's American:excellent acting! Parents who have lost their Babies who were serving: whose war is this?
Whose got the kernels base??
Cruise’s tooth is so crooked it’s on the other side of his mouth!
Crystal….
Following orders blindly can result in bad decision making and corrupt behavior.
Excuses
And with that their lives are absolutely ruined and will never hold a decent job for the rest of their existence.
I don't think a lawyer would be able to call someone a son of a bitch in court like he did and it would be ok... lets not forget the judge yelled you are in contempt! I don't think what the witness said a few seconds later would erase that. His career would be over..
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.
Lawyering up again
Great scene great acting but completely unrealistic 😀
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.
From one side yes the colonel is right, from other side, it was a crime and as a commander he have to take cinsequences
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
The American people can't handle the truth.
Does anyone know why he doesn't have to answer that question?
In military court it was apparently illegal to accuse a high ranking Marine officer of a crime without evidence, something like that.
Win win Lose

Dishonorably discharged...for following orders?
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.
Tha never happen in a rourt
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.
