A few good men....
There were a ton of conflicts as the movie progressed. It began with simple conflicts such as the tensions between Cruise and
The conflicts are absolutely realistic in every way. I would not be surprised if this were based of a true story since it is that believable. All characters had true reasoning to hide or find the truth behind the case. It wasn’t so much that Nicholson was the bad guy; he more just did things his own way. The way he thought was necessary to survive in their conditions.
I think most all conflicts were handled well on both ends but Nicholson’s character left a few holes for Cruise to crawl though. He was also vulnerable (which Cruise points out) about Nicholson wanting to tell the truth. He should have had more reserve and maybe would have never received the blame.
I think the most noticeable character that used good negotiation skills was Cruise. A really great scene was when he was playing softball while negotiating a deal for a minor case he was handling. He talked the guy down with grace but strength. He was so confident that he made a deal while never putting down the bat. He knew everything he had to and negotiated a lesser punishment. It really was a great movie that kept me hooked. I enjoyed watching Cruise’s character handle his business. Plus Nicholson had an awesome role that was fun to watch the classic court scene. “I want the truth!” “You cant handle the truth!!” Fun movie.
