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?

    A bunch of stories of the Soviets saving the United States shot by the Americans... This setting...

    No amount of art, no matter how tricky it is, can't cover up that this is a funny script that lusts after another country and lusts at its own country.

Phantom quotes

  • Sonar Operator: Conn, sonar. Two fish in the water, 1,000 meters.

    Demi: [Bruni cocks a pistol] You can shoot me and I'll see you in hell... in about 90 seconds.

  • Demi: Maybe now would be a good time for you to tell me just what the hell it is we're doing, Mr. Bruni.

    Bruni: Have you heard of an American program called Dark Star?

    [Demi shakes his head]

    Bruni: It's a fully synchronized system of endoatmospheric antiballistic missiles guided by a highly accurate radar.

    Sonar Operator: Torpedo, 700 meters.

    Demi: Copy that.

    Bruni: If the Americans launch a first strike, all our land-based missiles would be taken out even before they can be fueled.

    Demi: That's why we have submarines and bombers.

    Bruni: That's why they developed Dark Star. It's a radar array that guides and detonates atomic missiles in the ionosphere.

    Pavlov: An electromagnetic pulse weapon.

    Bruni: Yes. It'll take down everything our surviving submarines and aircraft can get up. They've tested it and it's fully operational. Not a single American city would be hit.

    Pavlov: If there's no consequences for attacking us, what's their incentive for peace?

    Bruni: There is none.
