A Few Good Men Character Analysis

Finally, the violence, which occurs during the screenplay, is effective because violence shows how it is a way of life for the characters. All the characters involved in the heist implements violence in their daily lifestyle, which drips into their talk and actions to cope with the horrible situation they, find themselves in. The catastrophic outcome of the failed robbery releases the characters’ violent behavior as they blame each other and try to comprehend the situation they are in. The violence, which started the horrible chain of events for the characters, was when Mr. Blonde began firing his gun in the jewelry store. Mr. White confronts him in the warehouse and says, “I gotta big problem with any trigger-happy madman who almost gets me

Blonde’s character is violent by nature and cannot be trusted. He was the one who instigated the cops to start firing and put the rest of the group at a greater risk of dying than being arrested unharmed. Although the shootout affected the mobsters poorly, the shootout is effective to the screenplay because the character Mr. Blonde demonstrates his impulse to resorting to firing his gun when he does not have his way. Mr. Blonde began firing because one of the employees in the jewelry store rang the silent alarm, causing the police to be on scene. Another instance of violence being effective is when Mr. Blonde brings a police officer he kidnapped into the warehouse to torture. Mr. Blonde tells the cop, “Now I’m not gonna bullshit you. I don’t really care about what you know or don’t know. I’m gonna torture you for awhile regardless. Not to get information, but because torturing a cop amuses me.

The torturous act reveals how violent Mr. Blonde is and tortures the officer for his own pleasure, not because of the situation he and the others are

By creating a unique dialogue and using the dialogue to his advantage to subtly share the effects of loyalty, morality and self-interest, Tarantino accomplishes a well-written screenplay. The characters language is not confusing to the audience because of the context clues and the dialogue keeps the audience members engaged by having them constantly think. The inciting incident and climax is clear to the audience, which allows the audience to dig deeper into the scene and absorb the underlying themes of loyalty, morality and self-interest. The loyalty of the recruited robbers, coming to terms of morality, and depiction of self-interest assisted in creating a tragic turn of events, but a great screenplay. Morality is present between two characters that decide to do the right thing in order to save someone’s life and put others before themselves. The self-interest reflects the themes amongst the characters that are looking out for themselves only even though they are working in a group. By having the inciting incident soon after a calm breakfast morning, the audience is immediately catapulted into the terrible situation the mobsters are in. As well, by having a cowboy-like standoff for the climax, Tarantino brings the audience to the edge of their seats in preparation for a big gun fight. By utilizing the themes to his advantage, Tarantino
