To survive or to perish

Survive, or destroy,
attack from the bottom of the sea, or escape from hell.

This movie is really long, but it's fast and slow. When I finally finished it on such a gloomy cold night, my heart was actually quite heavy.

Submarines are well-known hardships, taking all kinds of subsidies in exchange for consuming life, and then continuing to dive into the dark deep sea to consume life.
After a long time, there were just a few people coming and going around, saying what and what to say.
The dark deep sea, like hell, devours young lives, so they even call it the "iron coffin". Returning from the sea is like escaping from hell.

But in fact, they couldn't escape, so what if they returned to the land, there was no pure land.
This is the cruelty of war. People are like being wrapped in a torrent, rolling up and down, unable to live and die.
Sometimes I think that the war is really coming, there is no way to escape, you can only face it bravely, so the ancients said "to stop the war with war".
Living in the peaceful years, I am especially afraid that I will face the war head on. After all, I am just an ordinary person, and I hope the years will be peaceful.

I especially like the captain and chief engineer, tough and brave, even just standing there makes people feel at ease.
Although I already knew that going through the Strait of Gibraltar was like going through the tip of a needle, but if it wasn't for the chief engineer's final confession, I didn't even think that the captain himself would be convinced that this was a journey of death, because when he decided to go So calm, complete mission will be achieved.
When disaster strikes, there are a few people who can truly calm down.
The machines that could be broken were all broken. The sea was densely covered with enemy ships, and water was seeping everywhere. There were not enough parts. It took eight hours to repair it, but the oxygen could not last for eight hours at all...
At the extreme depth of 280 meters, the chief engineer After fifteen hours of hard work and no good news, my heart was strained.
When even the captain was desperate, I watched the chief engineer staggering over and said that it had been repaired. I was cheering for them in front of the screen, and it was indeed not as good as the captain's red-eyed sentence "Very good, you go. Take a break".

How far is the distance between life and death.
Sometimes we are moved, not because of the ending, but because of the hard struggle in the process, the struggle to survive, and the struggle to improve.
So no one ever likes war, it's so cruel, to die, or to watch others die.
So for the rest of my life, I hope not to experience war.
