A Critique of Colonel Nathan Jessup

Summary
Jack Nicholson gives a moving, and quite scary performance in the 1990’s classic, A Few Good Men.

Content

 

Jackie boy has done it again in his portrayal of a psycho, overbearing marine where he is obviously up to no good.  His words are powerful, but too bad it cost him a Court Marshall!  He uses very commanding phrases throughout his speech.

“You want me on that wall.  You need me on that wall.”

Awfully arrogant of him, don’t you think?

“You have the luxury of not knowing what I know!”

Nicholson is also sarcastic in his words…a man after my own heart!

“…you use them as a punch-line.”

“I’d rather you just say thank you and be on your way!”

No design to be critiqued here.

Delivery

 

Powerful doesn’t even describe what we see hear.  His tone is immensely passionate, and his voice deep and full of anger. I probably wouldn’t mess with this guy!

Did anyone see a little bit of spit when he got going??

Awesome performance!  Bravo Jackie!
