Exciting two hours

The story of the film itself is no longer a turmoil from now on; it's just that the director does excel, and the rhythm of the film is so accurate that there is almost no stop in the entire two hours.

Whether it was the initial military coup or subsequent missile launching exercises, encountering enemy ships, malfunctioning of the telegraph system, and fighting for command, until the final confrontation between the two sides, at the moment of tension, the highest order came and the crisis was resolved.

As stated in the opening movie, the three most powerful people in the world are the President of the United States, the President of Russia, and the captain of a nuclear-powered submarine. What the three of them have in common is that they all have the right to launch nuclear weapons; in other words, when a war is needed, any preemptive action by either side will cause the entire world to suffer a nuclear war.

At this moment, heroes are needed without exception. This film chose Denzel Washington, the best candidate. As the most elegant and youngest actor among the young black movie stars, this film seems to be tailor-made for him. Unlike the cynical image in "Training Day", the image in this film is more suitable for Washington, perfectly showing his charm, appeal, and power as the incarnation of justice.

A film with an appropriate rhythm, this one is destined to be collected.

    The premise and battle scenes are a bit off. The submarine workflow and the conflict between the captain and the deputy captain are well portrayed. Hackman secretly wears small shoes for Uncle Dan, which is not a good thing! The seafarers will sew and iron them, otherwise, how to maintain a military appearance for a long time on the voyage? Excellent Jack Russell Terrier.

    Hollywood can't make such a film without a bit of a slut anymore.

Crimson Tide quotes

  • Capt. Ramsey: This is the captain. Set condition 1SQ for strategic missile launch. Spin up missiles one through five, and 20 through 24. The release of nuclear weapons has been authorized. This is not a drill.

  • Capt. Ramsey: Just so we understand each other... I don't have any problems with questions or doubts. As I said to you before, I'm not seeking the company of kiss-asses. But when you got something to say to me, you say it in private. And if privacy doesn't permit itself, then you bite your fucking tongue. Are we clear about that, Commander?

    Hunter: As a bell, sir.

    Capt. Ramsey: Those sailors out there are just boys... boys who are training to do a terrible and unthinkable thing, and if that ever occurs the only reassurance they'll have that they're doing the proper thing is gonna derive from their unqualified belief in the unified chain of command. That means we don't question each other's motives in front of the crew. It means we don't undermine each other. It means in a missile drill, they hear your voice right after mine, without hesitation. Do you agree with that policy, sailor?

    Hunter: Absolutely, sir.

    Capt. Ramsey: We're here to preserve democracy, not to practice it.
