The nuclear age that came to mind

There are not many good movies with such powerful themes, and this one can bring us a lot of enlightenment. This is an era of nuclear war; although the pressure of nuclear war on the world is far less than that of the Cold War era, it is still a sensitive issue and an unsolvable issue. This film combines political and military and Hollywood blockbusters, but what impressed me the most was the issue of nuclear war.
Human beings have been fighting each other for thousands of years, between nations and nations. However, in the largest war in human history 60 years ago, an unconventional weapon, nuclear weapons, appeared. It is unconventional because nuclear weapons can negate rules and deny. War denies human civilization. The emergence of the nuclear issue has brought the contradiction to the core of human values; therefore, it is not difficult to understand the absurdism of the Cold War era. "Dr. Strange Love" and "Planet of the Apes" should be classics in movies about the fate of mankind during this period; once a nuclear war breaks out, then It will be a manifestation of human ignorance; human beings are selfish, suspicious and cruel, kill each other, and die together. This is an extreme mockery of human wisdom. The scene of the end of the nuclear war reminds me of religion. There are scenes in many movies. When a human expedition or something tries to destroy nature, there will always be a wizard or elder of the local indigenous people praying and chanting words; some The problem is that only religion can explain, that is nothingness, and unlimited mercy.
From a broad perspective, there is no eternal thing in the universe, everything has its ups and downs, births, deaths, withers, and prosperity; from this perspective, human beings are the same. Then, just ask, mankind is not perished by one's own hands, and the dignity and wisdom of human nature will not perish.

Crimson Tide quotes

  • Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: Now, based on the testimony from personnel on board the Alabama and, in no small measure, to that of the senior officer, Captain Ramsey, I am prepared to make my recommendations to SUBPAC.

    Hunter: Without my testimony, sir?

    Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: You have a problem with that?

    Hunter: I might, sir.

    Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: I have known Captain Ramsey for almost 30 years. We served together on more than a few occasions. If he is lying this will be the first I've heard of it.

    Hunter: Yes, sir.

    Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: My primary concern here is the breakdown in the system. In this instance the system failed because the two senior officers did not work to resolve their differences, while preserving the chain of command. Now you may have been proven right, Mr Hunter, but insofar as the letter of the law is concerned, you were both right, and you were also both wrong. This is the dilemma that will occupy this panel, this navy, and this country's armed forces as a whole, long after you leave this room. Off the record... you've both created one hell of a mess: a mutiny aboard a United States nuclear submarine, violation of nuclear launch protocol.

    Zimmer: Message is authentic.

    Lt. Darik Westergard: I concur, sir.
