Maybe i'm old

Maybe I’m old,

Knowing where the stalk will be and what it will become, I still burst into tears.

My tears in this film are mainly concentrated after the young military academy enters the nuclear reactor chamber alone for repairs.

"Don't order them, captain, ask them"

"Our situation is desperate. If the reactor fails to be repaired, an explosion may occur at any time. This will detonate a nuclear warhead, destroy the US destroyer only a few kilometers away from the NATO base, and ignite the fuse of the tense relationship between the two countries. This will help us. Our motherland has incurred a devastating blow to terror. I,, we will dive and repair the nuclear reactor. I can’t give you any guarantee. I’m ready to act.”

"The tenth cabin has been quarantined"

"No. 9 cabin is smoke-free, and personnel are in place"

"The eighth cabin is loyal to the Soviet Union, comrade captain"

"Captain No. 7 is ready to perform its duties, Comrade Captain"

"The fifth cabin crew is in place"

"The fourth cabin is waiting for your order, captain"

"Cabin One is with you, Comrade Captain"

"Ready to dive, Captain"

"Dive"

This conversation didn't last long, but when I even typed it, I was still sad. Such a sense of responsibility displayed at the moment of life and death, across the time and space of home and country, still has a shocking power.

I respect these people!

K-19: The Widowmaker quotes

  • [last lines]

    Captain Alexei Vostrikov: For their courage I nominated these men for the title of hero of the soviet union. But the committee ruled that because it was not wartime, and because it was merely an accident, they were not worthy of the title hero. What good are honors from such people? These men sacrificed, not for a medal. But because when the time came, it was their duty. Not to the navy, or to the state, but to us. Their comrades. And so, to comrades.

    all: To comrades!
