Movie Review: Oh don't you know...
Summary: 5 Stars
THE WAR: Vietnam is ongoing, and in more ways than one it's a war of minds, "Hearts and Minds." As an extension, it's a war of leadership and ideals; where prejudice cannot obstruct truth, and disharmony can atrophy the fellowship of camaraderie and the strength of solidarity.
STORY: Young Private Bean (C. Sheen) gets tattoos on his hands, beats an MP, and gets sent to a military stockade under the command of Master Sergeant Otis McKinney (M. Sheen). What Bean finds is that he's not initially welcome amongst his fellow inmates, all black, one of whom is Stokes (Fishburne), but he's also leery about McKinney. He must eventually choose a side, and just like every other black-white movie in existence, learn a dance step from a black person.
PATRIOTISM: True patriotism is having the courage and fortitude to challenge unlawful orders, to stand up in the face of dangerously negligent leadership and defend what is just. To be a patriot is to proud of one's country, and it's impossible to display that pride without believing in and standing up for the ideals that makes a country great. Foreign AND domestic.
FAVORITE BATTLE(S): Any movie in which Charlie Sheen takes a beating is a good one in my book. In this one, Private Bean gets into a scuffle with a fellow inmate, Webb, who has a penchant for kleptomania. Unfortunate for Bean, Private Webb
FAVORITE LINE: That's the sound of the man, working on the chain, ga-e-ang.
THE MESSAGE: Much like the Army's former slogan, "Army of One," Cadence is about unity and solidarity. It's about bonding with fellow soldiers regardless of difference, and to some extent, that's what calling cadence and marching in formation is all about.
Great movie. Highly entertaining. The scenes where the prisoners are marching and singing cadence will be stuck in your head well after viewing. Do yourself a favor and look up "Chain Gang from Cadence" on YouTube. Oh don't you know...
