First of all, the sentence in the introduction is wrong, and the subtitle also says that, in fact, it should be "the inspiration of the film is based on a true story", which is not the same thing at all.
Several protagonists in this film act very well, and the conflict in the narrow space is well expressed. As for submarine warfare, I think it's pretty scumbag.
But what’s worse is the Americanization of the entire film—the equivalent of a Chinese shot of a Japanese army that speaks Chinese. The Soviet soldiers in it are very American in temperament, attire and spoken language, and every book they read is still an American storybook. This is far worse than many of the original films.
The story is also pure bullshit, and this bullshit has obvious Hollywood political correctness, similar to "Deep Behind Enemy". The difference is that "Deep Behind Enemy" is self-advocacy, this film is to incite Sino-Russian relations...
Spoiler:
The beginning of the film is:
"If the Cuban Missile Crisis brings the United States and the Soviet Union to
the brink of nuclear war..."
"Then The sudden disappearance of a Soviet ballistic missile submarine in May 1968 pushed the nuclear war to the brink."
Then the plot is: extremists within the Soviet Union concocted a plan to drive a conventional ballistic missile submarine out of the door, above it. A phantom device is installed, which can imitate the noise of any other ship, that is, it can transform. Prepare to run into the ocean, imitate the characteristics of the submarines sold to China before, launch nuclear missiles at the United States, triggering a confrontation between China and the United States, and then the Soviet Union will receive the final victory and correct...
The "inspiration" of this outrageous story comes from the end of the film. A few lines:
At the height of the Cold War, a Soviet ballistic missile submarine
was salvaged ashore after it disappeared in the South Pacific for many years, but the U.S. and Russian governments
both kept its true operational intentions secret
. It is believed that the Americans later found it on the bottom of the sea. The missiles it launched
didn't explode
and anyone who knew a little bit about the military would complain about this script.
As for the repeated praise of the United States in the film (or through the Soviet captain), the praise of the United States' humanity, strength, restraint, etc., is not the main problem...
In general, this film can be watched, but it may make many, many The Truth Party and Gongzhi, who knew nothing about historical military affairs, once again obtained a batch of ammunition and released countless poisons.
As for the relationship between the Soviet Union and China in 1968, there is no need to say much.
There is also a paragraph at the beginning about where the conventionally powered ballistic submarine will go after it is decommissioned - ready to be sold to China, as before.
China does have a conventionally powered ballistic submarine, the Great Wall 200, which was used for experiments.
