Bad language includes ‘prick’, ‘screw’, ‘bitched’, ‘bullshit’, ‘shit’, ‘bastard’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’, ‘pissed off’, ‘goddamn’, ‘hell’ and ‘imbecile’. One person refers to another using the derogatory term 'polack'.
The titular trial hinges on the question of whether a ship’s captain experienced symptoms of mental illness that rendered him unfit to command. References to mental health, such as descriptions of paranoia and 'withdrawal from reality', run throughout. During his testimony, the captain becomes increasingly agitated, seemingly confirming the diagnosis. There is also repeated use of outdated terms such as ‘crazy’, ‘unhinged’, ‘mad’, ‘insane’ and ‘maniac’, and witnesses are asked if the captain was ‘raving or foaming’; however, the film as a whole does not endorse discrimination.
