The use of the lens is also very good. Either in the face of British bombing. A group portrait of a group of people gathered below waiting for the captain's order. Everyone's anxiety and tension are in full view. But each has subtle differences. Or close-up portrait capture of individual expressions. The captain's grimness. Lieutenant's seriousness. The second pair smiled cynically. And in the end everyone couldn't hide their hopes and disappointments. Subtle movements and expressions of eyes. The lieutenant's seemingly calm line "My fiancée was killed in an air raid in Cologne two months ago". Demonstration of lookout work on deck. A somewhat blurry vista through the telescope. A telephoto for a submarine moving forward in a storm. They all make up every memorable detail of the show. And what impressed me most was that every time there were hoarse alarms and alarms on the deck, a group of crew members seemed to be in a panic, but they were disciplined. The scene where the fish swiftly and swiftly passed through the long and narrow cabin and gathered to the bow. A long shot of nearly 20 seconds followed the crew. Gives a very tense feeling of movement. But it shows its order properly.
It's a war movie that's not like a war. Very little pen and ink is devoted to the presentation of grand war scenes. But the tentacles penetrated into the subtleties of military life. The crew snored one after another. Undisguised fart sound. Desire for sexually vulgar to obscene. The stench in the cabin will never go away. A long and hopeless life at sea. Howling storms and boredom all day long. Lice spread due to poor hygiene. The embarrassment of more than 60 people sharing a toilet. It doesn't flatter the audience's nonsensical imaginations of so-called majestic and shocking war scenes. Instead, unroll its dull side like a scroll. The story is more of a bland thousand days. The scene shift is always the same. Four people sat at the table for a meal. A group of people stood on the deck and looked out with binoculars. Alert action in the event of a rapid sinking when alerted. It seems boring but has its own real power.
At the same time, it also hides the war of justice or evil. It focuses only on the people forced into the torrent of war, and on human nature itself. They have a great sense of honor for their country. They long for love, sex, relatives, and homeland in the vast sea far away from land. When they learned that there was little chance of survival. Frustrated, he still had to die. When they faced the situation of death, they felt uneasy in their hearts, but they still burst out nearly ten times the will to survive under the stimulation of the environment. They cheered ecstatically after they finally escaped. They never had even the slightest bit of Nazi, Hitler, or swastika stigma on them. Even when the captain is facing enemy soldiers calling for help. After a moment of hesitation, he ordered to retreat at full speed. In the face of the second lieutenant's questioning, he gave a full-loaded answer. I don't think he has anything to do with it either. I just hope each of their warriors can go home safe and sound for Christmas. Watch the water pressure gauge go from still to spinning. My heart please be with them. Overjoyed and weeping. Everyone forced into the war. Righteous and evil. Winner or loser. They are all victims of being run over by the rolling wheels of war. each of them. are all victims.
There is not a single extravagant sentence in the whole play. Even panic, anxiety, despair and fear still maintain valuable restraint. Most of the time, the gaps between conversations are filled with oppressive silence. 300M underwater. Seawater sprayed into the cabin. Life and death hang on the line. Everyone's expressions were filled with despair. But there is not a single blatant fear of death. Some just do their best to obey the destiny. Hence the phrase "Lord, forgive my sins" by the nameless sailor. Or the quivering lips of the ensign. Still have no dignity. There are three cross-examinations about hope. For the first time, a young man with a French lover asked, "Second Lieutenant, do we still have a chance?" The Lieutenant shrugged. After a moment of silence, he got up and left. The second time was a lieutenant who was always very particular about decency. Hair is messy. With a face full of sweat or sea water, he asked the captain. There seemed to be no turbulent tone: "Can you float up again, captain? Do you think we still have a chance?" The captain was silent. Looking up at him: "Good question." I actually felt a hint of joking in his tone. The third time the second lieutenant asked the captain: "There is no hope?" There was silence. The desperation in his eyes that was almost on his knees and pleading was overflowing. Everyone carries the question of life and death. longing for hope. But fell into a huge, almost nothingness of silence. The silence was like a swamp. Silence replaces rambling and cheap lyricism. But it makes people feel a deeper fear and despair.
And for the first time in my life. to the military group. The five bodies fell in awe. This is what a man should be like.
As for the ending. I expected a tragic ending. But he never imagined that it would be so sudden and unexpected. A group of warriors who defeated the deep sea died on land in a joyful celebration song. Ironic and sad. They should have gone to the sea. The captain looked at the warship that even survived 300m underwater but eventually sank under British shells. The second lieutenant looked at the captain's slowly falling back. A dead silence.
I remembered how much the ensign was busy taking pictures of the crew when we set off. But the captain said:
"Let's take pictures when you return, not when you leave the port."
"Why?"
"Because the beard will grow by then." After a pause he added, "Like a child's crusade."
They did grow thick stubble. Even the most clean lieutenant. There is also a circle at the chin. But not in the photo.
This is probably the war. Silence to the point of dullness is thrilling. is war. War with its unimaginable cruelty. The achievements of these admirable warriors. Then. destroy them.
