      classic

      Quoting (fade in) Douyou’s words on 2015-03-17 to
      show the anti-submarine warfare in a comprehensive and detailed manner, it is not difficult to see its influence on many later works such as “The Hunt for Red October” and “Striking from the Bottom of the Sea” and “U571”. In addition, this is a rare war film that avoids the judgment of the enemy and the enemy, and the two commanders' battle of wits and sympathy are written vividly.

      Professional performance of professionals

      Although I know that many modern management ideas (especially organization, strategy, and personnel) are inextricably linked with the military, I have never understood the operation of the military. Later, after accepting Green's PPM system, I found that the leader does not need to do much. As long as professional people are arranged, coordination and service are done well, the rest will be done naturally.
          But after watching this movie, I realized that the captain really has to do a...

      Enemy and friend fight wit and courage

      This is a battle between a German submarine and an American warship in World War II. The scale is small, the number of people is small, and the battle situation
      is tragic ; . Both the German captain and the American captain have experienced naval warfare. They are brave and decisive, kind and upright, and they are both friends and enemies, and cherish each other.
      This is a life-and-death struggle full of war wisdom and courage tests: "What is true is what is true"; "The enemy...

      The "salvation" of the ending is not superfluous

      There is a superfluous point in the previous article: the sailor said that the captain was seasick and he was a "down businessman", which showed that the soldiers did not trust the captain - there is no need. If you want to make a first move and then move up, to create an amazing sense of "the captain's resourcefulness", you can use "the captain has just been transferred from another frigate of the same type" to make a fuss, so as not to cause people to confront the United States in the...

      Sister Leopard's selection of films... It's really great, the plot scenes are also good-looking, and the actors are also handsome and upright... If it wasn't for Sister Leopard, I would have missed a lot of good movies! Thanks Leopard...

      It turns out that Hanks' anti-submarine film last year is almost a remake of this one, which is more solid than most war films...

      There is a display of the details of the weapons, as well as the description of the user, and it is not limited to one party. The two captains and crew are very three-dimensional, which is rare in war movies in recent years. Considering the filming time of this film, it was even more difficult to shoot a naval battle film with such a large proportion of war scenes in that...

    Movie quotes

    • [the ship has just avoided two torpedoes]

      Lieutenant Ware: The Miami yacht races were never like this.

    • Doctor: I guess you're finding the Sun kind of hard to take, after the North Atlantic.

      Captain Murrell: Oh, it doesn't matter. It's always either too cold or too hot, wherever there's a war on.

    • Doctor: Well, in time we'll all get back to our own stuff again. The war will get swallowed up, and seem like it never happened.

      Captain Murrell: Yes, but it won't be the same as it was. We won't have that feeling of permanency that we had before. We've learned a hard truth.

      Doctor: How do you mean?

      Captain Murrell: That there's no end to misery and destruction. You cut the head off a snake, and it grows another one. You cut that one off, and you find another. You can't kill it, because it's something within ourselves. You can call it the enemy if you want to, but it's part of us; we're all men.
