A mediocre theme movie

To be honest, it's just Weiguang's anti-German drama. I'm actually quite a fan of war movies, but this one is a disappointment. A good war film usually describes the complexity or cruelty of the war with compassion, and even describes the deep reasons behind the war. The United States has a tradition of making such war movies, such as All Quiet on the Western Front, Field Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan, etc. Even the theme films of the 1950s and 1960s, like "The Longest Day" about the Normandy landings, will take pains to describe the complexities of people in war, and there is only prayer to God. This film actually follows the path of "Southern War and Northern War", but the details are too far away, especially the part where the submarine floats up and the warship is bombarded. The narrative is procrastinated, the plot is ridiculous, especially the forced use of black chefs to repeatedly emphasize sleeplessness and forgetting food, which almost feels like a report by a hero of our army. The only bright spot should be the special effects, but I watched it on a walking machine in the gym, so the special effects didn't work. However, it is extremely frightening to think that the enemy did not describe the camera at all here, but used the terrifying sound of the broadcast to uglify. Usually when doing this, it is for glorify war and dehumanize enemy. Hollywood has not done this for a long time. What new enemy has been found this time for brainwashing and mobilization?

    The storms are rough, and you must prepare as soon as possible, knowing that you are the last line of defense for the fleet. There are wolves around, you must make a judgment immediately, otherwise how to face those faces who are looking forward to going home. Behind the cheers, honors, and praises, there are struggles, helplessness, and anxious waiting. Only by experiencing the danger in the midst of the smoke of gunpowder, can we take the great credit under the cheers. With a noble and loyal belief, yesterday, today, and forever. Unexpected annual hit, it can be called the captain's training manual, battle command, sailing scheduling, temporary decision-making, and a comprehensive display of everything, from the high-spirited sailing to the embattled crisis, his prudence, forbearance, anxiety, all in one go. Coupled with that tense soundtrack, goosebumps are like ocean waves. Let me tell you a detail: During the funeral of the unfortunate food steward, the soldiers shook the flag many times before burying his body, as if he was reluctant to part with the ship. I remembered the dialogue between him and the captain at the beginning of the movie. : "I can sleep well on the boat." This is the temperament and insight that a good theme movie should have.

    I originally thought it would take a long time to set the stage, but I thought that I would directly enter the theme in three or five minutes, but I thought I wanted to be nervous first to whet the audience's appetite, and then slowly recall and describe the character's personality slowly. I couldn't breathe, I thought a paragraph was over, but I didn't think it would continue. The shot of the German submarine is well portrayed, but the radio provocation is a bit redundant.
