lacklustre

There's nothing special about the film. The overall feeling is that it is a finished product assembled directly on the American film assembly line. The film has nothing to judge. Basically it's all big stuff.

In the film, the CCCP's navy is like my army in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the American people have always attached importance to individual rights, etc., these values ​​are spoken through the captain's mouth to give people a feeling of doing things, a bit like a political propaganda film. Of course, it may also be that people who have not gone through the Gulag era are not easy to resonate with.

The film's attempt to blame China for the accident is clearly a failure. Whether from North Korea or South Vietnam, China has no intention of starting a conflict with the United States. If this matter were replaced by North Korea, it would be more credible.

Moreover, China's military strength is the same. How could it go so far to attack the United States. When I was in high school, the foreign media was clamoring for the Chinese Navy to advance into the blue ocean; now that the children are about to go to elementary school, the foreign media is still there saying that the Chinese Navy is going to advance into the blue ocean; let me go...

The film mentions red imperialism Selling second-hand goods to China, although I have never heard of second-hand submarines in reality, but there are Minsk and Minsk II.

It would have been better if the end of the film was tragic, or removed the scenes of the crew carrying their comrades to create a hallucinatory scene.

Or would the overall style of making a documentary be better?

Phantom quotes

  • Bruni: What was that noise?

    Demi: I don't know... Captain. What'd you run us into?

    Bruni: You're in no position to understand the events unfolding around you.

    Demi: I understand you've seized this vessel without authority.

    Sonar Operator: [calling on the radio] You'd better get up here. We have a contact bearing down on us at almost 40 knots.

    Bruni: American?

    Sonar Operator: No. It's one of ours.

    Demi: Well, if I were you, skipper, I'd sound battle stations.

  • Sonar Operator: The November's slowing. It's the K-123.

    Demi: [to Bruni] Oh, that's Constantine Gubin's boat. You should be flattered. He's the most decorated hunter-killer in the fleet.
