Hundreds of films are released every year. Filmmakers are trying to create the next jaw-dropping movie that audiences will line up for hours and pay top dollar to see. The key to success is finding ideas that appeal to a mass audience. Viewers are the lifeline of any production company, so creating something for everyone is a smart business decision for the film industry. To cover all the bases, there are over fourteen different movie genres. Filmmaking is not a solo effort. This is a collaboration between actors, directors, producers and other key contributors. This combined effort or mise-en-scène includes all elements of the film, including actors, sets, costumes, props, and lighting used to meet the director's vision (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2011, Sec 3.2). This article will discuss elements of a music video titled "You Can't Handle the Truth" from the film A Few Good Men. The film, A Few Good Men, was released in 1992. It was a box office success grossing over $237. million around the world. The story was about two marines being tried for killing a squad member. Tom Cruise and Demi Moore both starred in the film as Marine Defense Attorneys and Jack Nicholson as Marine Commander. The "You Can't Handle the Truth" music video is one of the most memorable scenes in the film. This is the animated scene where Lieutenant Dan Kaffee asks Colonel Nathan Jessup if he ordered Code Red. Colonel Jessup launched into the infamous “You can’t handle the truth” monologue. As powerful as the scene was for viewers, the vision began with the film's director, Rob Reiner. As director, Mr. Reiner was ultimately responsible for the entire project. He worked with screenwriter Alan Sorkin to develop the right words for the text on screen...... middle of paper ...... it's a team effort. It's a true art form, but one that has many elements that need to come together to tell the story from the director's perspective. This article explored the staging of an extract from A Few Good Men. This included all components of a scene, including sets, lighting, costumes, actors and hairstyles. Works Cited Gilmore, M (producer) and Reiner, R. (director). (1992). Some good men. [Video clip].
