Let’s talk about the movie. The title makes one’s blood throbbing. The background color is dark blue, and the background music is passionate. Sean Connery wears a cotton army hat, and his eyes are firm. The location is the latest entry into the Soviet Red Navy. The podium deck of the strategic nuclear submarine "Red October", behind the icy North Atlantic sea. The silver-haired Captain Marko Ramius, the captain of the Red Navy, the godfather of the Soviet underwater nuclear fleet, has been in the army for more than 40 years and has countless students. But today, on the bottom of the frigid North Atlantic, his destination is the United States on the other side, both geographically and ideologically, not war, but betrayal. Betrayal is a Western term, and for the Soviet Union it is called defecting. This huge war beast specially designed to destroy the United States is now under his command, with 20 rounds of strategic missiles enough to destroy the United States, quietly sailing to the United States, to the other side of their dreams. It should be said that Tom Clancy's theme is very interesting, strategic nuclear submarines, these behemoths lurking in the depths of the ocean shoulder the heavy responsibility of a second nuclear strike and a nuclear counterattack. Once the nuclear submarine receives the order to launch a nuclear strike, it means that their country has already suffered a devastating nuclear attack. The defection of the last trump card of the armed forces sounds exciting.
Defection, what I care more about is not the intense process, nor the twists and turns of the plot, but the mental journey behind the defection. In times of peace, not times of turbulent war, it takes a lot of determination and sleepless nights to make such a decision. This is not just his hometown, his relatives and friends, not just his motherland, or his own party. In a larger sense, what he has betrayed is the ideal he has been fighting for since he was young, and he is persistently sticking to it. Once decided, there is nothing left.
The reason for Captain Ramius was that his beloved wife died unfortunately due to a medical accident, but the responsible doctor was exempted from punishment because he was a son of a high-ranking official. Captain Ramius was determined to break with such a system and made the decision to lead the submarine to defect. Of course, this is a strategic nuclear submarine with hundreds of crew members, and it always takes a certain amount of time for a nuclear submarine to cross the North Atlantic. There are many people and many dreams, so the implementation of the plan is much more complicated. With so many uninformed crew members, some of them may have already noticed that they will take hostile actions, as well as the entire Soviet Red Navy ocean-going fleet that is chasing and intercepting, and the U.S. Navy, which is on the move. The situation is changing rapidly, and war is about to break out. To be wiped out on the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. What is the boldness of Yi Gao, who avoided the surveillance of the U.S. Navy, resisted the artillery fire of the Soviet Red Navy, and calmed the situation inside the submarine.
Suddenly, I remembered Lin Chong and forced me to Liangshan, which was a bit similar. It's all because of loving his wife, and it's all because the family has betrayed their original beliefs and the system that they have already adapted to. The occupations are also very similar, they are all professional officers, and they are all instructors. Before I saw it, I was thinking that Captain Ramius must be at least a Rear Admiral after teaching so many outstanding naval talents, but when Sean Connery came on stage, he was wearing a colonel's epaulet, so I wanted to ignore it. Talents, not being able to make the best use of them, can also be regarded as a reason for defecting.
One more thing, the Typhoon class in the movie is really well done, and the submarine battle is really exciting. It's a pity that only two of the six Typhoon-class ships seem to be able to move. The rest are quietly rusting in the dock, slowly waiting to be dismantled. It was originally designed to destroy the behemoth of the United States, the most terrifying war in human history. One of the machines, but it can only be dismantled with American sponsorship. Why do we spend so much money to create such a deep-sea behemoth that destroys ourselves? We swim in the deep sea of the Arctic Ocean every day, with nuclear reactors around us and nuclear warheads on our heads.
I don't know how Captain Ramius came to the United States, lived an ordinary life, lived a free life of "crossing states and provinces without applying", saying goodbye to the deep sea that he was all familiar with, and thinking back on his half-life military life, how would you feel? Recalling that I had so many deep-sea horrors, so many desperate situations, so many "crazy Ivans", and so many brushes with death, would I wonder why I was born and died like that?
