Cain Mutiny

This weekend I watched two movies about military justice- A Few Good Men and the Caine Mutiny. In Cain mutiny a group of officers struggles with how to confront an officer who is obviously short a few marbles...except for the ones in his hands. Bogart was at his very best, and the parrellels between him and Nicholson are unavoidable. Both films featured a handsom young officer who must make a hard choice. Do you let bad command slip, or stand up and risk everything to do what is right.

Unlike A Few Good Men, the ending is bittersweet. You wonder whether they should have supported their commander or not. Also, in a few good men the commander is crazy...but not a Few Good Men...in a Few Good Men the commander is just overconfident, and got the impression he was above the law.
