I watched it on a long-distance bus back to my hometown in 2000. The theoretical guidance of this film should be the theory that life comes from outer space. The ending was a bit too hasty. 2011.2.20 Replay this movie

A movie that I almost forgot...a classic movie with lots of rants...
[Ira moons General Woodman]
Ira Kane: Fruit basket for Russell Woodman!
Dr. Allison Reed: Your Honor, if the Court would allow me to depose Dr. Kane?
Ira Kane: Depose *me*?
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: Oh, we think your past is very relevant, Doctor Kane. These issues speak directly to his competence as a scientist.
Dr. Allison Reed: Dr. Kane, you were a top-level researcher at USAMRIID from '94 to '97, were you not?
Ira Kane: Yes, that's correct.
Dr. Allison Reed: And you were summarily dismissed in the summer of 1997. Any idea why?
Ira Kane: My services were no longer required?
Dr. Allison Reed: Uh-huh. So, in your opinion, your firing had nothing to do with an experimental anthrax vaccine that you developed and administered to nearly 140,000 U.S. soldiers in May of that year?
Ira Kane: [leans in and whispers, smiling] I see where you're going with this.
[louder]
Ira Kane: It may have been a factor, you'd have to ask the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Dr. Allison Reed: I'll make a note to do that. But for now, can you tell me what happened to the soldiers who were inoculated with your vaccine?
Ira Kane: Well, uh, none of them got anthrax, if that's what you're asking.
Dr. Allison Reed: What did they get?
Ira Kane: Um, well, as with any new vaccine, there were certain side effects associated with it.
Dr. Allison Reed: Could you be more specific?
Ira Kane: Well, it was a wide range of things, it's very technical, I'd hate to waste the court's time getting into it right now.
Dr. Allison Reed: Humor me.
Ira Kane: Some debilitating stomach cramps... severe diarrhea... memory loss.
Dr. Allison Reed: Yes? Go on. Any more symptoms?
[Harry is looking mortified and shocked at the defense table]
Ira Kane: Partial facial paralysis, temporary blindness, drooling, bleeding gums, erectile dysfunction, uncontrollable flatulence. I think that's it.
Dr. Allison Reed: One more question. Do you happen to remember what the soldiers called this illness, Doctor Kane?
Ira Kane: Yeah. They called it "The Kane Madness."
