Fleeting tension

The great director Tony Scott is good at shooting such masculine movies, and he is often very good at launching a small orgasm at the beginning of the plot, and then waves of tension and horror push the plot to the highest point of excitement. The audience will not feel procrastinated and dull when watching his movie. Although a large number of shots of this movie are taken in a confined submarine, and the 116 minutes does not fall at all, the film starts from The inside of the submarine is always one shot, but it seems to me that it is as fierce as a rain of bullets. The continuous collision of the two actors' acting skills and the various story lines that fuel the flames are really enjoyable! It’s a pity that Tony Scott passed away in August of this year, and he can no longer see the commercial but more humane masterpieces he shot. I am very sorry about this. I would like to guide Tony Si. Kurt rests in peace.
This film does not have any villain in the traditional sense. If a movie is to be so compact and exciting, let us recall those old-fashioned Hollywood action movies that dominate and excitement. Normally, we need an omnipotent villain. The story of turning the tide with the protagonist without any support, without all kinds of movies that intrigue the real villains and hypocrites, before the truth is revealed, no one is right or who is wrong. You can only rely on a calm mind and extraordinary courage to make decisions. This is A movie of completely male power, that kind of military demeanor is fully expressed in this movie.
After reading the comments, most people think that the colonel played by Washington is on the right side. In fact, Hackman is also correct in playing the general. Soldiers like them have only one word in their hearts-"loyal" to the Colonel in Washington, who is calm and thoughtful. Ability, and Hackman’s general has the extraordinary courage of a soldier and never indecisive way of doing things, but according to the development and ending of the story, it is inevitably and correctly handed over to Denzel Washington. It is necessary for the general, but usually no one can have these two personalities at the same time, because he is self-contradictory. During the Nine Expeditions to the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang missed the opportunity given by God because he did not dare to take risks many times, such as Wei Yan proposed. The Ziwu Valley made a surprise attack, and Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, led his troops and never hesitated or was indecisive to overthrow the Qin Dynasty at lightning speed. No one can have these two personalities at the same time. This is the role of setting up a lieutenant regardless of ancient times or today.
Whether the movie is fighting for control in the submarine or chasing the enemy submarine outside, it makes people feel sweaty in their palms and a stone hanging in their hearts, and no matter from which point of view, commercial plots In terms of the degree of horror, or the deep meaning of the humanized lines, it is a superb work. The works of Tony and Denzel Washington are top-notch. Denzel Washington has been working until the excellent works released in the past few years. They are all cooperating with Tony Scott, and the performances of the actors are completely impeccable, whether it is the tense performance of Denzel Washington before he became the emperor, or the veteran actor Jean Hackman. Familiar with the performance, even Vigo Mortensen, who was not well-known at the time, showed the kind of stimulating inner struggle when making decisions about launching weapons.
PS: There is a line I laughed for two minutes, "Lushchenko is filling the nuclear bomb. Think about why he did this. You will not wear a condom unless you want to have sex!"

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.
