A Few Good Men
Hello again. Today I seem to be in a very confused haze. This confusion is a result of me recalling last night’s classic I viewed which was A Few Good Men. Overall, it was a fantastic movie, and I will most certainly watch it many more times in the future. However, a question erupts: should this production be considered a movie or a film? I have come to the conclusion, after much deliberation, that A Few Good Men is a film. I believe that the character development of Lt. Daniel Kaffee, from being a rookie and overshadowed lawyer is resolved with the trial of Lance Cpl. Harold W. Dawson and Pfc. Louden Downey. He develops into a mature and great attorney and maybe even greater than his father. This, is a clear indicator of the in-depth plot and greater meaning of the movie, all of which makes it a film.

Another question raised by the film is the true nature of service. Does Jessup serve his country better by doing whatever it takes to turn his men into soldiers who can defend the country or does Kaffe better serve us by exposing Jessup's brutal methods?
ReplyDeleteThat is a very strong point. In my opinion i feel that Jessup is a better option but this is coming from a military family. I feel that Jessup, although very brutal, gets the job done of national security better than a lawyer who still may take the easy way out of problems
