"Greyhound" Jagged man's favorite

This movie is a very good war-themed movie and worth watching.

"Greyhound" provides a very interesting angle, although the investment in the film is obviously not large, almost all the scenes of the incident are on a small battleship (if this battleship is placed in the battle, it is probably all Not worth mentioning), the special effects naturally cannot be compared with the aircraft carrier battle group that integrates air and space, but it is against such a background that Tom Hanks plays the captain of the Greyhound, and his image is more prominent. .

Or, let me put it another way, the protagonist of this film is both the captain and the ship, and even in many cases, I can feel the almost overlapping gestures of these two images. The captain leads the battleship, and the battleship And the captain became the captain. These two intentions became more and more inseparable with the development of the film.

Let's take a brief look at how the film accomplishes this evolution.

The film isn't very long, so the streaks between each scene are short, and the tension is heightened with footage of German submarines bobbing and sinking underwater and a razor-sharp, aggressive soundtrack.

The first scene has the Greyhound chasing and destroying a U-boat on its own.

In the second scene, the situation was reversed, the German submarine dropped the bait, and the Greyhound was not familiar with the sonar echo of the bait, and on the other hand, suffered from equipment failure, so it was wasted for no reason A lot of ammunition, after this can only be attacked by naval guns. And this mistake allowed the German submarines to bloom more and blew up a large number of merchant ships.

In the third scene, the situation continued to deteriorate. Although there was the help of the friendly USS Dicky, the Greyhound was still at a disadvantage by using naval guns. Although the two ships destroyed a U-shaped submarine, The Greyhound itself was hit, killing several of its crew members.

The fourth scene, almost the eve of the darkest dawn, is likewise breaking dawn.

This is what makes this film different from "Battle of Midway". Although there are not so many special effects that burn money, such a vivid and real character gradually affects our hearts with the development of the film's plot. He is fragile, But also strong.

    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.
