Trivialidades:

The nametag of the MP behind the reception desk at the psychiatric ward McKinney is sent to after his trial reads "Estevez" - Martin Sheen's original last name, and the last name of his son, Ramon, who plays Pfc. Gessner.

Errores:

Anacronismos: Early bar scene 1965, Bean walks in the bar and passes a push button pay telephone. These phones came out in the mid '70s.

Citas:

[McKinney wants to be friends with Bean]
Pfc. Franklin Fairchild Bean: I can't. I can't be your friend.
MSgt. Otis V. McKinney: Why? Am I not as good as your color buddies?
Pfc. Franklin Fairchild Bean: You're a bully! And I hate EVERYTHING you stand for!
MSgt. Otis V. McKinney: GERALD!
[Gessner comes in]
MSgt. Otis V. McKinney: [to Gerald] Escort this prisoner back to the compound before I throw him out the window. Dismissed!
[Gessner and Bean leave]
MSgt. Otis V. McKinney: That son of a BITCH!

an unforgettable movie with a fantastic story and great acting!

More than any of his other movies that I have seen (even "Wall Street" and "Platoon"), "Cadence" makes me hope that Charlie Sheen will not throw away his talent. He does a remarkable job in this movie, which is even more impressive because everyone else does a terrific job too! (Martin Sheen, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Beach...) This movie didn't last long in the theaters, which is a real shame, because too many people missed it! It has a timeless, touching message of brotherhood, acceptance and friendship, which it conveys through an interesting story and very engaging characters. Overall, it's serious, and even disturbing at times, but it has enough humor and light moments to give you hope and a good feeling at the end. The dream about being white and the prison-yard basketball game are two wonderful and memorable scenes, and you never will hear the song "Chain Gang" quite the same way again! I love this movie! I hope you will, too!
